    At least he's not a chucker and he realizes what he needs to work on. I think his slump will be short lived.

    By midseason I see him in the 45% range.

    It wasn't smart, but it wasn't dumb. He was just trying to do what all big men are taught to do, which is set picks as often as you can to help out. On the replay, it wasn't even a bad pick. Blake looked like he was for some odd reason setting a pick on Lopez at the same time, kinda looked up and realized that was dumb, then flopped off of him. Bad calls happen, doesn't mean the play was dumb.

    So, will we ever win again? This team couldn't beat their meat let alone a halfway decent opponent. :MARIS61:

    Portland shooting 36%, only 3-9 from 3. Fakers have 22 attempts from 3 already.

    Aldridge (18/7) and the team 14-16 from the free throw line is about the only thing going well for Portland.

    Monster 3rd qtr time! Lillard never scores much in the 1st half. It's Batum/Aldridge time. Wes needs to sit down and stay down. Like to see Earl since Mo's cold from the floor and Earl can take Blake out of the game. Lot of game left!

    He takes it into the defender and gets blocked instead of shooting that floater. He needs to get on that floater asap.

    That is possible, but he's kind of had a sub-par shooting season. They're a quarter through the season almost.

    Granted, it's just 15 (or so) misses that make up the difference. But it's hard to make UP those 15 shots.

    He does have pretty good success with it, but I don't think he's too comfortable shooting it off the dribble going either direction at full speed. It will come.

    Yeah, that's what the Timberwolves announcers said about their team leading after three going into the fourth tonight.... Didn't end so well for them.

    True.

    The game every other day thing over past three weeks really did away with much needed practice time.

    I don't know what's going on with Dame... he looked unguardable last season, but this year he seems so pedestrian if he isn't hitting threes. Did teams figure out how to defend him?

    Have you ever played ball?

    This stuff takes time to transfer from the practice court into real games. Have some patience with Dame.
