GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ CAVALIERS- 12/17/13, TUES, 4 PM (PST), CSNNW

[magnifier661]

I've been bitching about Wright and Williams. I actually don't mind Williams as much, because he redeems himself more often. But over the last month, Wright has only shot 33% or better from 3pt in six games. But he hurts us in other areas.

38% = 47% from two

Oh my god, I just went to the Cavs forum and saw this:

I'm literally dying of laughter right now.

OH I LIKE THAT!

 

[Strenuus]

This is from the recap on espn.com, I love how this is worded, and it echoes my sentiments.

That was ... basketball at its best. Two teams. Two floor generals. Two All-Stars. Neither guard was about to let his team lose, but unfortunately for Irving and the Cavaliers the clock has to hit zero eventually. The Blazers and their fans must be thrilled with the outcome, but it would have been nice to get another five minutes of action.

 

[PapaG]

Let's hope this years team doesn't share a similar end to the season as those two teams did.

I'll take a loss in the WCF a la 1991, knowing that the team can get even better next year. 1978? No thanks.

Yeah, that's now my favorite nickname for Damian

Nation takes notice

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

I don't think she's going to put up a pic like your wife allowed you to do.



Gramps...

Grandpa is wise beyond his years.

 

[Strenuus]

Also, not to be overly obvious, but now on this 4 games in 5 nights on the road, we can go no worse than 3-1. That's phenomenal.

Cold blooded. He's Rick James, Bitch.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Other than TRob (-2) the bench was in the + column.

It will all be about Dame. And while he deserves a TON of credit, this was just ANOTHER great TEAM win. GREAT DAY TO BE A BLAZER!!! RIP CITY BABY!!!

 

[LuckyShot]

Another nickname I've seen is Dame Winner. lol

TReb stuggles on O. But he's better than what we had last season. So, I say keep working on it and come back strong vs Minn.

On the road to boot

On the player card on ESPN's fantasy games, when you click on Dame lillard... at the end of it says "Watch him on television at any opprotunity".

He has arrived.

 

[Natebishop3]

Cleveland is good. Surprising that they don't have a better record.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Bet your ass that Sophomore twenty video on Dame being the #1 soph will stay up on ESPN front page a bit longer. lol

You would think with all the money ESPN has they would know how to spell opportunity.

Yes . .. but I really want that win against Minny. Dame did his thing tonight against Kyrie, time for LA to do his thing against Love

36-8-10 and game winner.

38% = 47% from two

Nope, 33% from 3 = 50% from 2. That's why I use 33% as par for shooting well. If you hit 33% of your 3 pointers you're doing a good job.

Well then isn't that good?

 

[DUB]

Nic knew it was going in. Started walking off.

Was walking off before Lillard even shot it.

Rice is literally giggling after Lillard made that.

Like a schoolgirl.

Yes, Wright is shooting a good % overall, he just seems to do it in streaks. He was hot to start the season, but has cooled off. So what I was saying was, over the last month, he's only provided "good shooting" in 6 games. Shooting is not a weakness of his, it's the rebounding, the defense, the his offense is really limited to shooting. Claver would be no better on offense, but I think he'd be a big upgrade on the defensive end. So if Wright isn't carrying much of the scoring load, why not get a guy that will give you more on the defensive end.
