Dame is averaging 38.0 ppg, 11.5 apg, and shooting 50% from 3 on 28 attempts. What is there for Stotts to solve? We lost a game but Denver is in bigger trouble than we are.
The reason Houston was so excited was not only because they got to play us but it put them in the SA bracket and they had gone 4-0 against Spurs that season. They legit thought they were winning the title until Dame's shot went in Game 6.
We'd have to give them the 5 picks to make up for the 5 they gave away for PG13. But Ballmer probably doesn't want to rebuild. They took a gamble and lost big time.
PG over 35 mill/5 years.
It’s easy to double team and trap a 6’3 guard than Luka. Clippers will sweep us
I agree with this to a point but if you go back and watch that game Luka was not getting nearly the attention Damian Lillard gets. He was wide open at 28 ft a number of times. Three times Kwahi tried to go around the pick instead of fighting through. All three were wide open looks which Luka made two of. Lillard gets picked up at 35ft. If Lillard was guarded like that He would absolutely smoke any team he was playing.
Is there a "15th-place" playoff game for teams eliminated in the first round?
Yes, actually.
Wonder if the Knicks would trade OUR offense for THEIR defense?
Ummm, no. Lue is garbage so I, for one, hope he keeps his job in LA. Makes them weaker! I’m sure that’s how other teams feel about Stotts staying in Portland too.
I don't want picks and a young player like Quickley for us. I only want pieces that help Dame win now. So, I want to trade CJ to the Knicks for whatever combo of picks and young players and cap room sent to Toronto that brings us Siakam (if Toronto is serious about their youth movement which they seem to be).
