Sometimes people forget that he's our best player. It reminds me of an old game between Utah and some other team. Malone was playing like shit an the owner was yelling at Sloan to get him out of the game. Sloan yelled back "no, he's our best player!"

I think Dame is better. Aldridge is good, Dame is better.

LA's shot was off, he got a boatload of rebounds, Wes and Dame picked up the scoring and we're 12-3! I'll take it!

If this were Pop instead of Terry, Nic' ass would be glued to the bench. Twice now: he has left his man and they got dunks off it.

But he's a great defender, he's worth the Max, he's the glue that holds the team together. We haven't won a game without him this year have we?

Sweep the road trip.

You got a problem with that?

Re: GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ HORNETS - NOVEMBER 26, 2014 - WEDNESDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), CS

So stop shooting when you're that off. There are other people on the team who can score.

No your star keeps shooting. He's come out of poor shooting before. Come on Nate, you're smarter than that

Ask the team and they will all tell you Aldridge is better

I don't believe in that theory. There are other people on the roster who can score. I would rather move the ball and take good shots.

That's why you aren't an NBA coach. All, including Pops rides their stars.

Re: GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ HORNETS - NOVEMBER 26, 2014 - WEDNESDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), CS

Where were you last game?

I'm not just saying this due to one game. He's been an inefficent scorer for awhile now...

 

[Natebishop3]

Re: GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ HORNETS - NOVEMBER 26, 2014 - WEDNESDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), CS

Oh yeah, that's gonna happen... the team is going to say that the third year guy is better than the three time All-Star. They aren't going to say anyone is "better," they'll say it's LMA's team and leave it at that.

Wrong, he's actually been very efficient this season. Try again

Yeah I don't get what hes on about, star players can't be timid and lose confidence in shooting. Lillard has had a lot of poor shooting nights and then suddenly catches fire in the 4th too.

They did it when Roy took over the role from Zach...

Re: GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ HORNETS - NOVEMBER 26, 2014 - WEDNESDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), CS

the 2007-08 team started playing out of their minds and went on that 13-game streak. I think we had something like 5 good quarters in these 3 games and still averaged winning by +8ppg

Re: GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ HORNETS - NOVEMBER 26, 2014 - WEDNESDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), CS

That's because Zach was a tool. Nobody liked him. He was our version of Kevin Love.

I love that our team is awesome - very enjoyable.

Dame went like 4-18 FG in like the third game, dude should stop shooting too huh?

I would say the same thing to Dame. If you're that off, pass the ball. We have other scorers.

um...

11/12/2005 v. Washington.

but he had 14 rebounds, not 13.

I think one of the edges this team has is unselfishness. It doesn't matter who scores more, it's about wins. Our roster stats are all over the map. LA made up for his poor shooting with boards. There will be games that are ugly and this one goes on that list.

Re: GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ HORNETS - NOVEMBER 26, 2014 - WEDNESDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), CS

LA and Batum are the two starters that put up stupid shots, that's why they have the lowest FG%. Batum will pass up wide open shots he should take, then take some stupid random off balance jumper.

Yeah when he was in prime, just like LMA is right now.. These games happen.

Re: GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ HORNETS - NOVEMBER 26, 2014 - WEDNESDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), CS

Through 15 games, Portland has made twice as many 3-pointers as their opponents (150-75).

Re: GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ HORNETS - NOVEMBER 26, 2014 - WEDNESDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), CS

Portland's eight turnovers tonight mark a new season low.

Yeah, Batum does need to start taking those open threes and attack the rim instead of doing that pull up fade shot.

Well I'll give you his poor shooting this season...

7 - 17, 3 - 10, 4 - 12, 4 - 11

2013/14

3/11, 1-12, 1/6, 3/12, 5/15

There were many more.

Sometimes your emotions get the better of you buddy. You don't think clearly

Re: GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ HORNETS - NOVEMBER 26, 2014 - WEDNESDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), CS

He was 2-6 in the paint (0-3 just outside), only 1-9 from outside 15'. 9 long j's is actually below his average.

His prime! What are you laughing at? Regardless... I showed you many poor shooting games from Duncan this season and last. It's time for you to stop being bi-polar
