    Thank God for Nurk. Don't know where we would be without him in this game.

    That was probably our worst half of this entire road trip.

    Wasn't there a discussion on here recently where people were saying Lamb sucked? You can question our defense, but I'd say the kid looks pretty good.

    Blazers have 3 turnovers at the half. All from the same person.

    He said bad 3pt shooter in 2019 as in the last 2+ months. I don't think I disagree with that. I still want Dame taking a shot when the game is on the line though. Clutch!

    I really don't understand why Stotts doesn't put C.J. on Batum and switch Moe or Aminu over onto Lamb (let the other one guard the PF).

    From experience, we know Batum won't take advantage of his height advantage... But nah, C.J. just continuing to get lit up by Lamb with no adjustments.

    Simple game plan, play defense and give the Ball to Nurk. That should open up some shots for the other guys.

    He certainly didn't specify that at all.

    I expect this from him because majority of the time this year when he has a good shooting night he doesn't back it up the next game.

    Why do people pretend like CJ was on Lamb the whole time. He lit up Jake going about 6-7 when Jake was guarding him, then CJ comes back in and he is 2-4. I know some of you think Jake can do no wrong, but his defense was bad as usual. ' Just get tired of all the hate towards some of the boys blaming them for what happens when others are in the game.

    Part of that is attributed to Dame having to shoot so fast because defenders are on him like a fly on shit, double teaming the fuck out of him. No other point guard in the league has to deal with that kind of intensity on defense.

    Which is the opposite of what Stotts will do. But hey, he got a COTM award, so anything he does is genius....right?

    Yep. Stotts isn't doing him any favors in this regard. Or maybe Dame isn't comfortable with playing any other way.

    Like Jade said, if Lillard is hot, he can hit 3s from anywhere, if not he can be really ugly, and for most of the time, especially in 2019 , he can be average to really really bad

    There is another point guard in this game that deals with the same kind of intensity.

    Whoever gets hot first Dame or Kemba will likely win the game for their team.
