    It is clear aminu will get every wide open shot. It is up to him to do the right thing and pass it.

    Maybe Kaman could be an answer here... We do need something Downlow to keep the Floppers honest

    We're fine. Give Aminu a break. He has 10 rebounds. He'll hit his shots.

    Yes, one was a foul, one was Ticky tack and the other was a headscratcher for the playoffs.

    This is at worst a learning experience. It's why you don't tank. A lot of pressure on a really young team, and the game is within reach.

    Chuck is right. When lillard is doubled he has to pass it right away and the Blazers have a 3 on 2.

    Mentioned how Curry does it with Draymond. Difference is Plumlee is no Draymond...

    I was surprised any of them said offensive foul let alone 3.

    Gotta throw another wrinkle in to TAKE ADVANTAGE of Aminu being open. There's a reason he's open on the perimeter - the Clips are happy giving him that. Add another action so Aminu DOESN'T SHOOT, but attacks the basket which will either result in (a) a dunk, or (b) drawing a defender off CJ/Harkless.

    I like Aminu, but he is a what he is.. An average starter but would be phenomenal off the bench. Harkless is a better 3.

    There is an inherent disconnect in Chuck's premise that Dame dribbles too long before letting it go.

    Plumlee and Aminu are not Bogut and Draymond.

    I was just thinking the same thing. The very few times he's played in a second-team rotation this year, he's done alright. I wouldn't mind seeing him play. Why the hell else do we keep him around? I think he's better than a 3rd string scrub.

    All in all we can still do this. We just need some of our other players to step up. I have faith Dame and CJ can do there thing and do the right thing. It it the others that need to give it there 120% and we can pull the upset.
