    I see the occasional movement of a hand reaching for a scotch bottle.

    Not surprising, we're in the dog days of the season and they're almost ten games below .500. Not much to talk about besides draft positioning.

    The forum is slow this time of year. It's actually a bit more active than a year ago.

    And @magnifier661 's drugs must have either kicked in or worn off.

    I think it is "get used to it" time as reality sets in, I like these guys but it is and was expected to be this kind of season

    "part" of the reason CJ is doing as well as he is, IS because of Lillard

    @MarAzul did you see this? I've met Homer, you should be worried. Move you're family to the bunker! If you don't have a bunker you should start digging.

    Yeah exactly. To say that mcollum will be better than lillard next year is quite the statement. Cj can create for himself but lillard sets cj up for those threes. Cj doesn't get played like lillard. Lillard gets jumped on defense because teams know this year, he's to focus on. Yeah dame isn't shooting great this year but he's had to take leadership of this team with a bunch of guys who never really got minutes in their careers.

    Another thing that drives me crazy is somebody like harden gets so many calls driving for flopping, lillard has the same drives just without the theatrics and gets no calls which is crazy for an all star and guard who drives as much as him

    watching Meyers play is painful, can we see more of other guys and perhaps Cliff get some minutes and LESS of Meyers?

    I would love to see Cliff get some minutes but you got to remember that's Myers is Olshy boy and he seems like a person thats dont like to be wrong. Especially his draft choices.

    If you look at Cj he's a high volume shooter and is still pretty efficient. He never takes bad shots and best thing about him he's never in chucker mode. I just feel Cj has that broy type of game where he's so smooth and deadly from different spots around the mid range game. I think he's going to be even better after his first summer from this break out season. This is just the beginning.

    Dame absolutely is getting attention your right but at the same time it's not like he doesn't have Cj whose taking attention too. But this very reason is why I would like to see Cj lead the team in attempts that will open it up more for Dame..

    Dame is nearly shooting from the 30s now. There has to be a way he can be more efficient..

    I'm spending time with my family in Bandon in 10 days. What is it like there? I hear it clear up once we get there.

    I agree there are ways he has to find. I don't know if that means driving less and taking less of those threes we see or what but it's tough because I'm sure if cj isn't going one night, dame probably feels like he has to get going and vice versa. These two are the only offensive threats we have that can get their own off the dribble. It also has to be tough because dame has to set these other guys up who aren't really offensive threats. Tough situation all around, we need that lottery pick and hopefully pick up a third player who can really make an impact next year

    CJ's mid-range game >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lillard's.

    This frontcourt is hot garbage. Aminu is a backup on a good team. Vonleh shouldn't be starting. Plumlee is developing imto a quality starter though.
