What's your opinion on those Logo 3's that Lillard shoots?

Poll closed Mar 19, 2019.
  1. Lillard needs to shoot more of those - the stats say they are beneficial to the team.

    1.9%
  2. I trust Lillard and I'm fine with him shooting those at his discretion.

    52.8%
  3. If Dame is in the zone/on fire, let it fly! Otherwise, tone them down.

    30.2%
  4. I hope he limits those to only rare ocassions (end-of-the-clock, when Blazers are up big, etc.)

    13.2%
  5. Stop shooting those, period! I hate it!

    1.9%

    Outcome may have been different without very solid play from Hood, Kanter, and Zach, of course. ZC did get a nice block on Randle there in the end.

    No you don’t. We’re already past OKC. Let’s try to catch GS!

    The Blazers lost a road game at the end of a 7 game trip and you are still not over it? Tough crowd.

    He blocked Randle twice that game. Last time Zach went up against Randle he got his lunch handed to him. Tonight he was the best player on him and that tells me Zach his getting stronger and it good sign.

    Nice effort from Zach.

    What Randle did to the Blazers should be a crime. If he could have hit a few of his FT's, he'd have dropped a 50 spot. Damn!

    Wonder what Dame/Brow were talking about after the game....?

    uh, in this forum it's preferred to look at it as we lost half our games on the road. Winning half is too positive.

    Solid win tonight as the team got the job done. Now some big games tomorrow with us and the Spurs, while OKC plays the Warriors.

    I was just telling my buddy the same thing. I’m never too bothered when we’re trailing in the first half as long as we’re not getting blown out. When we lead in the first and second quarters I get worried.

    So, did anybody guard Randle? I know he's pretty decent, but THAT decent? I know he played nearly double the minutes Aminu played, but I also have to assume Aminu was largely responsible for him during his minutes.

    Randle bullied his way to the rim countless times. Nurk fouled out. Aminu had no chance.

    The team defense was mostly to blame.

    You know I dont remember if they ever tried it, but I kind of think ET may have done ok on him, Randle may just be too tall, but ET seems to do well against physical offensive players.

    Should clarify my post above if they were t gonna double him, or try to get the ball out of his hands, then I think ET may have been interesting choice.
