Game Thread Game #8 - BLAZERS @ CAVALIERS - NOVEMBER 3, 2021 - WEDNESDAY; 4:00 PM (PDT), ROOT SPORTS

[MickZagger]

Pretty dynamic young back court the Cavs have. That’s probably a playoff team out East

 

[BlazerBeav]

Well looks like I haven't missed anything, unlike our guards.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Sexton seems a lot more useful this year. This Cavs team is kind of fun. And Mobley is going to be a beast.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Who woulda thought the mental midget of the season through 7 games would be Damian Lillard?

Crazy right? He’s really bad this year

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Now Dame can't make layups...

 

[AldoTrapani]

Sexton seems a lot more useful this year. This Cavs team is kind of fun. And Mobley is going to be a beast.

Yes!! Very fun. That’s why rebuilding can be fun

 

[VenomXL]

I appreciate Norm’s aggression. Act like you want it.

 

[Labinot41]

I'm out. Good evening guys

 

[Chris Craig]

Powell!

 

[AldoTrapani]

Really the only bright spots this year is Norman Powell and Simons

 

[VenomXL]

Cavs are shooting 61% from the floor.

 

[OneSport3]

It’s so painfully obvious that CJ should be the odd man out.

 

[B-Roy]

Norman > CJ

 

[Cugel]

61%
Fuck me.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Ours is coming soon. You know it’s bad when players only meetings happen

 

[James lamphear]

Well just tune in the game and our to boys are at it again CJ and Dame throwing up a lot shots already.

 

[VenomXL]

It’s so painfully obvious that CJ should be the odd man out.

My dream this off-season was to go into the first game with Norm as the starting two guard. Didn’t happen.

 

[OneSport3]

Norman > CJ

Norm knows how to play NBA basketball. CJ knows how to play streetball.

 

[VenomXL]

Dame 1-6 from three. Brutal. Can’t wait until he rediscovers his shot.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Dame stop shooting 3s please you don’t got it anymore

 

[Haakzilla]

Yucky.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Nurkic playing pretty good defense in 2nd. So many guys he needs to watch for.

 

[Hoopguru]

Dame 1-6 from three. Brutal. Can’t wait until he rediscovers his shot.

He will, he’s playing harder in the defensive end and it might affects his shot.

 

[blazerfan11]

Starting Backcourt shot 7-23 , 30%, against Cleveland in the first half.

 

[James lamphear]

Well Dame and CJ has threw up 23 shots so far and there 3-11 from the 3 and I see Nurk only 3 attempts so he not involved in the offense so he probably not involved in the game. Covington only 1 shot and Powell is the only one shooting anything worth while. The defense has totally stunk up that 2nd quarter.

 

[Mr. Robot]

even if they win games in regular season playing like this, they will get smoked in the playoffs

this just isnt winning formula, were playing 3 on 5 on offense, nurk & roco are not involved at all

 

[James lamphear]

He will, he’s playing harder in the defensive end and it might affects his shot.

It's time not making excuses for him and just say that maybe he just don't got it this year.

 

[wizenheimer]

too bad Billups can't design any offense that gets Dame the ball cutting to the basket. That was the point of all the off-season talk about Dame 'off-the-ball'. But that's probably a fantasy when a team doesn't have any consistent passers other than Dame. In any event, if he was catching the ball while cutting to the hoop he probably wouldn't be jacking up so may three's

*************************

in the last 4.5 games, CJ has 93 points on 94 shots

Dame/CJ have 163 points on 162 shots

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

If someone could tell Nurk to play like he cares that would be vagtastic.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

The bad thing about these East Coast road trips is that I have no excuse not to watch the second half
