Game Thread PLAYOFFS - ROUND 1, GAME 2: BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS - 4/20/16, WEDNESDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), TNT & KGW (3 Viewers)

[Jade Falcon]

Dame is completely shook

Unfortunately, this is the second season in a row where he's been shit in the playoffs. Last year, IIRC, he was awful.

 

[ripcityboy]

We lost this series on fouls because we need a new coach.

Yeah. Bingo.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

God this is frustrating

 

[Strenuus]

Damian...5-21

and cj is 6-16

Tunchi has no ammo.

 

[santeesioux]

It has been an amazing journey with Crabbe going from "shit, we're going to have to pay a ton to keep him" to "do we even want him back?"

 

[Trackjack]

Well we just not constant at both ends of the court.

 

[illmatic99]

So much for Lillard Time

 

[Sinobas]

Mason Plumlee has 2 less points than Damian with fucking 16 fewer shots

 

[jlprk]

I turned it off. We paid a 1st-round pick to get our players "playoff experience." But most will be gone a few years from now when we need playoff experience.

No kidding. lol.

Well, to be fair this is two straight years where he has played an elite defensive point guard.

 

[LuckyShot]

Unfortunately, this is the second season in a row where he's been shit in the playoffs. Last year, IIRC, he was awful.

From the opening of game 1, he's looked like he's pressing faster than he needs to and keeps rushing into bad spots on the floor, making bad decisions, and taking shitty shots.

 

[Sinobas]

Damian is playing like LaMarcus Aldridge out there

 

[Tunchi]

Damian...5-21

I tried telling you guys. He's a great leader but just not really that steady with his game. To feast or famine

Really since the big games he had back in Feb he's been really off for a long time


This is his 3rd straight series where's he's underwhelming

 

[julius]

I still find it funny how some fans thought the Clippers where the preferred opponent for the playoffs.

My preferred opponent was the 4th pick.

lol. So cute. So wrong, and so cute.

 

[Rhal]

According to who?

Its been a widely used joke all last season and it was horrid this season before trading for green which brought them into the top 15 teams but barely http://www.hoopsstats.com/basketball/fantasy/nba/teamstats/16/7/diffeff/1-1

 

[Sinobas]

Well, to be fair this is two straight years where he has played an elite defensive point guard.

He's looking like shit against Austin Fucking Rivers too.

 

[BigGameDamian]

We down by 6 and shooting like crap we actually could steal this one from them if we get hot in the 4th.

Not playing like this we can't.

 

[illmatic99]

5-21.

Is Dame trying to match KD?

 

[Boise Blazer]

I'm not even trying to be negative, I feel like I'm being real when I say I don't see (outside of actually making some shots) what could change in the next few games to make this better. We are not built to deal with this game plan but they better figure it out or make some applicable changes before next year because teams are taking note of this game plan and how effective it is

 

[HailBlazers]

Damian is playing like LaMarcus Aldridge out there

think he'll take his own plane home?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[santeesioux]

My preferred opponent was the 4th pick.

And the Clippers were the worst top 4 team, we'll be lucky to win a game here.

 

[Rhal]

But even losing in the playoffs is better then the 14th pick which doesn't have a great track record of even turning out a rotation NBA player and we now have our pick back and that isn't hanging over our heads.

 

[Strenuus]

5-21.

Is Dame trying to match KD?

He'd need to go 2-12 the rest of the way.

And CJ trying to do it too. Both have been bad.

 

[LuckyShot]

Well, to be fair this is two straight years where he has played an elite defensive point guard.

Chris Paul isn't blocking his shots at the rim.

 

[Rhal]

I dont' think you would find one person that would argue they wanted the playoffs over the 4th pick but we are talking the 14th pick not the 4th.

Yep. I proved it when I started a thread and no one rebuttaled me,so I know I was right.

 

[Tunchi]

What a boring series
