    It wasn't terrible. I'll take a 5 point lead with Wes/Nic shooting 0/9.

    Why'd it seem like the Pacers gave Dame the open lane to the hoop? It's like they wanted him to score there.

    Even with 20 pts in the 1st half... Dame with a -3... that's what playing with Trob does, I suppose.

    Yes but if they are not hitting their shots, they need to contribute in other ways. 1 rebound and 1 assist total between the two of them combined. Complete no-shows so far. Hopefully they get that turned around.

    Good game so far. Dame looking good. I like the flow of the offense for the 2nd unit with a natural pg in there.

    LMA and Dame with 35 points on 15-26 shooting. Not bad.

    Yeah, usually Nic rebounds and hands out assists even if he isn't scoring.

    Guys who aren't shooting are defending though so I'll take a 5 pt lead against the #1 team in the league on the road!

    That is great but at this rate, LA and Dame are going to have to combine for 70 to make up for the lack of offensive game everywhere else. Defend AND produce on the offensive end....doesn't seem like too much to request. :D

    If our second unit is going to be so problematic, why not let Barton play and see if he can drive and create a few shots.

    Lillard and LA are back! If Matthews were on we'd really be cooking. Nice to see Portland not giving up offensive rebounds, that has been huge!

    But I'm sick of the refs calling Batum on those clean blocks from behind. He does that so well but only gets credit for about half of them because the shit head refs call it half the time. 2 free points for Indiana.
