And here I thought Grant Hill was a smart guy.... nevermind.

You know Charles is going to call our defense turrible.

He's not there. What is Hill saying?

 

[LuckyShot]

Praising both defenses? Is Kenny on crack?

 

[illmatic99]

what'd he say?

Said that last foul call on Hickson wasn't a foul

 

[Natebishop3]

He's not there. What is Hill saying?

He said that wasn't a foul on Hickson at the end, and it was clearly a foul because he bodied him on the shot.

 

[KingSpeed]

Wow

 

[LuckyShot]

Shaq lovin' all over Aldridge.

 

[KingSpeed]

What did Shaq say?

 

[LuckyShot]

But then he says Love is better because of his stats....

 

[PapaG]

What did Shaq say?

He said Love was the best PF in the NBA.

 

[LuckyShot]

What did Shaq say?

Eh... more or less praising that Aldridge can do many things well. Score in the block, block shots, run the floor.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Shaq "I'm a stats guy". LOL

Shaq saying LMA's having a career year, 24/12, team 31-11, he IS an All-Star, no matter what votes say.

Mo needs to be more aggressive in 2nd half

 

[Natebishop3]

Mo needs to be more aggressive in 2nd half

I agree. He should wave that towel on the bench with lots of aggression while CJ takes all his minutes.

 

[LuckyShot]

Mo needs to be more aggressive in 2nd half

Troll.

 

[julius]

the whole TEAM needs to be aggressive. and play better (any) defense.

 

[illmatic99]

I agree. He should wave that towel on the bench with lots of aggression while CJ takes all his minutes.

I don't get why Terry doesn't like playing Dame and CJ at the same time

 

[LuckyShot]

I don't get why Terry doesn't like playing Dame and CJ at the same time

I know, right? I thought that was the grand vision in drafting CJ...

 

[blue9]

I don't know whether to be mad at LMA's ineptitude in the paint, or happy that he's trying. Eh, I'll go with happy that he's trying.

In honor of MM:
_amian Lillar_
LaMarcus Al_ri_ge

 

[PapaG]

I agree. He should wave that towel on the bench with lots of aggression while CJ takes all his minutes.

Lillard and CJ on the court at the same time is a defensive nightmare. Notice how Mo will defend Lawson when on the court with Dame in the second half.

Just pointing out, those 2 players have all 3 of our team's blocks. Although that could be because they've had the most attempts at them lol

What has LMA done defensively that you don't agree with tonight?

 

[Natebishop3]

Lillard and CJ on the court at the same time is a defensive nightmare. Notice how Mo will defend Lawson when on the court with Dame in the second half.

You think Dame/Mo isn't a defensive nightmare? Mo is fucking horrible, just like Dame and just like CJ. They're all very poor perimeter defenders.

 

[PapaG]

I don't get why Terry doesn't like playing Dame and CJ at the same time

 

[KingSpeed]

We're a bad team when Mo doesn't score.

 

[PapaG]

Mo isn't terrible on defense. He's much better than CJ, at this point.

 

[PapaG]

Lawson is abusing Lillard when Lillard is defending him. I still don't understand why Damian can't get into a defensive crouch. He never does...

 

[LuckyShot]

Lillard needs to take notes on how Lawson handles himself in the paint. He doesn't try to shoot it every time, he gets shots for his teammates once the defense commits.
