    I just don't like those turn-around jumpers from that far out by LA. He can hit them, but they aren't high percentage shots.

    I think it's absolutely ridiculous that no one suggests that the Blazer starters play MORE. I am a huge proponent of them playing more. Giddy up.

    They have 0 shot blocking presence. I wish LA would stop with that difficult fadeaway and attack the rim

    God, LaMarcus has grown back his vagina. Reverting back to his turn-around fade away crap instead of going inside.

    Why isn't Lillard shooting more

    I'm actually willing to give the team a bit of a pass this game, especially on D. Aside from the starters (who played 6 minutes in the 1st and the last few of the 2nd), there hasn't been a lineup that's played together all year (CJ or not). Not that we were the Bad Boy Pistons on D anyway, but that lack of cohesion and ability to know what they guys you're playing with are doing is tough to get the first time you're on the court together in real life.

    If he gets within 10-12 feet, it's like a free throw for him and he's really effective. When he settles for them at 15-17 feet, he's hurting us more than helping.

    We are sure on pace to lose this game.

    That's a genuine Stotts coaching criticism.

    That leads to injuries and players running out of gas by the time playoffs come around. We need the bench to be at least somewhat capable.

    I remember when Nelson used to be a decent player.

    YES! That's what we need from LMA! More shots going towards the hoop

    Lucky, LA pushed Baby's hand off, but Baby was using both hands. Good call, just surprised.
