Game Thread SEEDING GAME# 5: CLIPPERS @ BLAZERS - AUGUST 8, 2020 - SATURDAY, 10:00AM, TNT & NBCSNW

[blazerkor]

Lakers have the worst offense in the bubble. They have 2 players and that’s it. Who guards Dame and CJ?

They have no reason to be playing their best in the bubble having clinched the number one seed. They have a ton of guys outside of their two all-NBA superstars: Green, KCP, Kuzma, Howard, McGee, Morris and even Caruso and Waiters could contribute. Their rotation isn't as well rounded as ours even though it's deeper and you are totally right to wonder how they are going to contain Dame and CJ.

 

[blazerkor]

We got a Wenyen sighting!!!

 

[B-Roy]

Foul foul foul foul foul

 

[James lamphear]

We don't move our feet we reach and reach that why foul so much.

 

[illmatic99]

??? What’s wrong with him?

Bruised ego.

It's systemic. That's on coaching if these guys don't know fundamentals

 

[James lamphear]

We got make those basket around the hoop.

 

[B-Roy]

Is it though? We have guys that are good at it in Trent, Nurk, Collins.

 

[Almir]

Go Blazers!

Wouldn't put Zach on the list. He's a foul machine

 

[illmatic99]

That's a foul?

 

[craigehlo]

Lou Williams taking every shot. Very predictable except to Stotts. Trap if you need to

 

[VenomXL]

Lou going apeshit. Need to make someone else take a shot in their offense.

 

[illmatic99]

Lou ain't missing today. He was ice cold in our last game against them

I think you live with Lou shooting long fading twos. He's good at it, but it's not exactly a great shot and his teammates never get into rhythm.

 

[Road Ratt]

Lillard came ready to play, good sign.

 

[B-Roy]

Wouldn't put Zach on the list. He's a foul machine

He moves his feet well, and I still see a lot of BS fouls getting called on him.

 

[craigehlo]

I get leaving Lou Williams in single coverage if PG3 is on the floor. He's alone and taking (and making) every shot though. The aversion to tapping is insane.

 

[Shaboid]

This game is going to give me a heart attack. Glad I'm on the east coast so I don't feel guilty for having a drink right now.

 

[illmatic99]

Dame is chatting with their bench a bit. He doesn't usually engage unless they start first. Who's stupid enough to do that?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Lou going apeshit. Need to make someone else take a shot in their offense.

As the TNT announcers are saying, they need to make him go right.

Players don't usually get trapped after making two or three shots unless your name is Dame, Harden, Steph, etc.

Just see where it goes. I really don't think Lou is enough of a threat right now to compromise your entire defensive scheme to stop him.

Has been since college

 

[Shaboid]

If we can score 37 points every quarter, I like our chances.

Hey I'm drinking a coffee ok....its a coffee

Lou Williams is the most prolific off the bench scorer in the NBA. This is no scrub.

 

[B-Roy]

I swear to god Mario looks confused on every possession.

 

[DDolla]

Damn what’s wrong with CJ?

 

[B-Roy]

Mario is a headless chicken. What is Stotts looking at?

 

[B-Roy]

SHEEEEED
