What's your opinion on those Logo 3's that Lillard shoots?

Poll closed Mar 19, 2019.
  1. Lillard needs to shoot more of those - the stats say they are beneficial to the team.

    1.9%
  2. I trust Lillard and I'm fine with him shooting those at his discretion.

    52.8%
  3. If Dame is in the zone/on fire, let it fly! Otherwise, tone them down.

    30.2%
  4. I hope he limits those to only rare ocassions (end-of-the-clock, when Blazers are up big, etc.)

    13.2%
  5. Stop shooting those, period! I hate it!

    1.9%

    Or stunted hard off ball. Make him split traffic or pass out. If he did split traffic, itd probably slow his momentum so he couldnt just go downhill at his defenders.

    Too much bother about Randle. That was all they had so they milked it but we won the game. Even if he did score 50, we win. Good game plan. Let Randle get his and shut everyone else down.

    I thought Zach did decent job on him made him take some tuff shots and he made some. Zach blocked a couple also but Randle tuff handle because he so strong and when he gets to his left forget about it. Aminu not strong enough and Nurk not quick enough.

    I am astonished by the Stotts hate. The Blazers just won two road games against teams fighting for playoff position. What is the problem? Yes, Randle scored a lot but Pelicans were without their leading scorers so he got their share of shots.

    I said it before, Blazers win championship and people here will complain they didn't sweep. Blazers sweep and they will complain games too close. Blazers blow out Eastern champion and they will complain Stotts is wearing an ugly tie.

    Since the AD fiasco folks may not realize it but the Pelicans franchise has been given to Randle and he's beasted since....he's no slouch or scrub going off because of poor defense..he's actually really good

    Some people are so intelligent with the game and stats its easier to point out areas for improvement. But balance should always be part of the equation, by also recognizing improvement and success.

    Randle has the same advantage ZBO had as they are both left handed and it is harder to guard lefties due to the lack of quality lefties in the league.

    Sorry to hear that HG. I lost my mom at the age of 61 and a sister and brother in law recently at the age of 64. Even though they all had a reasonably long life, it was still way too soon. My prayers are with you and her family.

    I can readily admit that Randle is a good player, I really wanted him here. The defense at times was bad though. He’s obviously capable of scoring but in the 1st half (especially the 1st quarter) the Blazers were not paying attention to details, and were not making it hard on him.

    edit: All that said and the outcome is what we wanted, just gotta get W’s at this point. :)

    No such thing as a bad win.

    That does NOT mean that discussing the details of the game is off limits.
