    My issues with CJ have been the same for 3 years now. They aren't changing anytime soon....even on nights he gets hot. He is a selfish player who takes away open looks from his teammates on a nightly basis. When he's on, you don't notice it as much. On nights like tonight.....holy brick fest Batman!

    How do score over 120 points amd can't make a single defensive stop in OT. This team hasn't gotten any better than last year AND WE HAVE MORE SHOOTERS.

    Frustrating that in the NBA coaches just refuse to sit “Stars” even when they are 4/24 and also don’t defend or pass. Literally bringing nothing to the table. Oh CJ you’re 1-13, keep shooting it’ll drop soon.

    I never in a million years thought I would say this but I wanted Stauskas and Evan out there with Dame, Zach and Chief. That group gave me the most confidence.

    It's a shame that half a dozen people on here including myself knew that Collins was the right play against Morris.

    I noticed this a lot, was he forcing it or did it have more to do with how the Wizards played with their length. When Lillard went into the paint how the Wizards moved put them in great position to contest any pass Lillard wanted to make.

    Pretty tough to watch Morris hit that many threes from the exact same spot on the court.

    It took Jordan awhile to trust his teammates too.

    Today was one of those days that we should have trusted Stauskas. Damn.

    I guess this will be a good learning moment...but how many do we need?

    Dame/CJ = 12/46
    Stotts = clueless

    That's game.

    The point wasnt about him driving or not it was about running a freaking play to get a good shot. When its so obvious dame is gonna shoot whether its a 3 or a drive its easier to guard.

    You know... Lillard is the leader of the team. he wants the ball. I can't argue the decision but he did have options.

    20 turnovers didn’t help

    Dame had options. But he also makes a bunch of game winners.

    Not even gonna blame Dame. Yeah maybe he should’ve passed but he carried the team in the fourth. Where’s our other supposed star? With all the attention he gets, this would’ve been a game to get his teammates involved, not jack up 300 shots. Fucking hate that guys game and it hasn’t evolved since he’s been starting.

    Bottom line is the Blazers didn't hit shots and they played poorly as far as protecting the ball. Too many turnovers. Should never have been in OT.
