    As if Paul is facing 1/10th of the defensive pressure and attention that Dame is. Not to mention you can't breathe on Paul without being called for a foul. That's why all of his shots are uncontested set shots or floaters.

    His only answer is to bring up a big to set a screen, then wheel the big into the paint for Dame to pass to for a layup or dunk. So far, it's working to an extent.

    But I agree with you: beyond that, Stotts is pretty useless when it comes to making adjustments.

    You can thank Stotts for that. It makes me want to cut my pinky toe off with a chisel.

    Apparently some people in the forum still throw Lillard under the bus after one or two bad performances. Let's not forget about his stretch averaging 30 a game where without his scoring and leadership, we wouldn't of won games. People need to chill, it's a back to back and they are trapping dame and frustrating him. Same with cj

    Yup. Clippers are a horrible match up for him. I half expected it. Dame is still our man.

    This. Our inability to adjust to screens and double-teams is on Stotts, not Lillard.

    It's worked maybe 3 times that I've seen. Davis twice wheeled to the basket and Plumlee did it once. Versus how many times that we pissed away the possession by dicking around the entire shot clock or flat out throwing the ball away?

    Hey, Drew Estate is coming to 82nd Pipe & Tobacco on the 7th of April, from 4PM-7PM. I'll be heading there to smoke a Undercrown Connecticut Robusto. If anyone would like to join me, you're welcome to do so. Probably some discounted merchendice and cigars being offered, but I'm not entirely sure.

    See I thought "to an extent" meant it was somewhat effective and helpful. I don't define 3 times in an entire half as effective. At all. I call it piss poor.

    Yeah, but they're playing like two teams that have just played back-to-back games.

    Plumlee takes that elbow shot once every 6-7 games and somehow makes it.
