    Guess we're lucky to be down only 9, especially if you consider our 3 point shooting vs theirs. If "regression to the mean" happens, we'll be due for an advantage from the 3-point line in the 2nd half and hopefully that'll give us a chance to win the game. But we can't keep throwing the ball away, for goodness' sake.

    Im pretty sure the coach is just as confused about all this as you are.

    He acts like it.

    I mean...

    Nic wth was that on the fast break? That rolo pass?

    I've heard of a tale of two halves... that was a tale of two seperate 6 minute stretches in that quarter. That was atrocious.

    I'd never thought I'd say this... but there is SOMETHING going on with dame... I never thought I'd have to worry about him...

    Just goes to show you how far ahead their starters are compared to ours. Seeing them just swat at the ball and suffocate you on the defensive end without fouling is a sight to behold.

    I think he's rushing his game and his shots. He's not alone. You can't make shots without touching the ball

    My best guess is fatigue and his injured fingers. He needs a vacation. It was great that he got All-Star honors, but I wonder if it would've been better if he had that whole All-star week off

    we have a chance to turn it around but i stand by what i said last game, if these players especially dame and batum, do not perform like they should be, Aldridge will be second guessing whether staying here is good if an early exit happens. :/

    Really starting to worry about Dame. It's been a very up and down season for him, much more of a roller coaster than last year.

    He looks down on himself. It's not getting better.

    Lillard and Batum are -19. Alridge -20 (no blame for LA, he's the reason this game isn't a route).
