    lol uhhhh what? how so? FG percentage is 44 percent, best it's ever been. 3 point percentage isn't good at all but on par with the 14-15 season as I sit here looking at actual numbers.

    When you're playing with al Farouq Aminu, mason Plumlee, Meyers Leonard, etc I couldn't give one shit less about Lillard or mccollums shot selections...if anything I wish Lillard would be more selfish because I'm not sure a wide open Aminu is better than a contested shot for dame.

    Listening to Dwight Jaynes say he thought Meyers had a "good game" because he had the highest plus-minus is fucking hilarious.

    What a weird game by CJ.

    He was 5 pts @ 11.1% (1/9) at halftime.

    He finished the game with 26 pts @ 66.7% (10/21).

    Meaning CJ shot 21 pts @ 75% (9/12) in the second half.

    I don't know what CJ did at half time, but can he do it before the game next time?

    I would be frustrated as fuck too playing with that squad. I honestly think Lillard is at a point of frustration, something he hasn't dealt with before with past teams. Dude averaged 30 plus for the first 10 games or some shit like that, 3 point FG was at around 40 percent

    So disappointing. Only game I can make it to this year and I was so excited thinking they had turned the corner. Defense started way too lax and the shots just wouldn't fall.

    I just got back from the game. Pat C and Meyers were just awful. Pat I can forgive since he probably won't get a 2nd contract in the NBA, but Meyers is highly paid and useless.

    We need some post scoring yesterday since this team has zero margin for error as they continue shooting low percentage jumpers.

    Meyers sucks. So fucking tired if him. It's worse in person.

    Not starting the game down 20-3 probably had more to do with it, but yet, missing free throws hurt.

    There's no identity for this team other than Dame and CJ freelancing. It's a hodgepodge of dudes dribbling into traffic without a plan and jacking up contested jumpers. There's no discipline. No game plan.

    That's the key phrase. It's a mishmash of mismatched parts -- the NBA equivalent of the Island of Misfit Toys.

    Tonight is what happens when you play both Meyers and Connaughton. No Layman?
