[illmatic99]

Nets and Hawks this wknd. Could get to 3-7. eek

 

[BonesJones]

Whelp. 3-5 record in the west? Yaaaaa it’s gonna be one those seasons

Youve said this like 10 fucking times in this thread and like 100 times in the last week. Its annoying as fuck.

 

[BonesJones]

Gee, it would be nice if we had an offense designed to get him an open shot instead of having to break down his man in iso situations.

Yup.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

At least that one didn't feel as bad as the last two....

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Wonder if theres a clippers, “other side” thread somewhere where they’re laughing at this game thread and all the Blazer fans hating on each other lol

 

[B-Roy]

CJ is like allergic to the right play. It was at least tolerable in past seasons when he's hitting more of his shots, now it's killing us. Every time he bricks a shot he doesn't get back in transition and it's leading to a lot of broken defensive possessions as well.

 

[Tince]

Hood only 5 shots... there is something wrong with this team

He was in foul trouble the majority of the game. His career track record includes many 1-3 FGM games.

[HailBlazers]

Free throw count anyone???

I agree with you, but I think we're all guilty of repeating ourselves over and over, yourself included!

 

[B-Roy]

One of the most frustrating things about CJ is that he'll just take possessions to "hunt" his shot. Like you know he's shooting. Doesn't matter if someone else is hot, or if there is a better option. He's putting that ball up. One of Dame's greatest strengths as a leader is deferring to other guys when they're playing well. There's no way Dame takes a contested midrange two after Ant has just scored 12 in a row. Just absolute bonkers.

 

[riverman]

Had this one at the wire...just couldn't finish it off...sucks...get the next one. Go Blazers!

 

[Darkwebs]

Tolliver lead the Blazers tonight in +/-

I'll give him this, he definitely knows where to be on defense.

 

[DDolla]

Don’t worry guys, we are going to win 5 straight games starting tomorrow.

Now if only he could realize the ball needs to go in the net when he shoots.

So pissed when CJ got a slight double and had Ant wide open but chucked instead.

 

[Chris Craig]

Free throw count anyone???

30 Clippers to 16 Blazers

Leonard and Williams took two thirds of their free throws

 

[riverman]

Tolliver lead the Blazers tonight in +/-

I'll give him this, he definitely knows where to be on defense.

He has no problem passing the ball or doing dirty work. He'll be a good 3 and D roll player for us down the road when the bigs get back

Both Dame and CJ need to be better at realizing there's an open three point shooter on the back side when two guys go at them on the PnR.

But CJ....when he gets a mismatch. He is shooting. The probability is 99%.

That right there is why I have his ass, @A$AP Meyers , and @DDolla on ignore. I made it about 1/3 of the way through this thread without being logged in (no ignore filter). Their shit is fucking pathetic. I had to log in, just to make them disappear....

 

[Tince]

Totally... The current system he's played under during his career has really limited him to show the league he can score the ball.

 

[BlayZa]

i swear these guys just said

CJ McCullar

and Myles Lenner

 

[brooklynballer]

Lillard way to passive in 4th quater . Zero points. Terrible should have looked for his shot 4 min left on clock.

Lillard gets mind fucked by Doc Rovers every time they play the Clippers. Rivers always has a game plan for Dame while Stotts sits around with his thumb up his butt.

Even when he doesn't have a mismatch, he's so good at breaking down defenders could be such a playmaker. Instead he's a robin dying to be Batman.

The Good News: Simons is the future

GREAT news. He’s nice. Once he gets stronger, more experienced the sky’s the limit. His defense has even got better recently. He will definitely keep moods high in case this season turns into a lottery year as it looks like now.

[Scalma]

Another season without CJ being held accountable let’s fucking gooooo

 

[LayneStaley]

If this is a lottery year with a top 3 payroll there are serious problems. Currently I’m not sure I see the need Baze is filling, maybe trade that massive expiring for someone who would.

Baze and Whiteside need to be traded for quality players we can count on the next 3-4 years while Dame is still in his prime. Anything short of that will be a failure by Neil Olshey
