    One of the most frustrating things about CJ is that he'll just take possessions to "hunt" his shot. Like you know he's shooting. Doesn't matter if someone else is hot, or if there is a better option. He's putting that ball up. One of Dame's greatest strengths as a leader is deferring to other guys when they're playing well. There's no way Dame takes a contested midrange two after Ant has just scored 12 in a row. Just absolute bonkers.

    Tolliver lead the Blazers tonight in +/-

    I'll give him this, he definitely knows where to be on defense.

    Now if only he could realize the ball needs to go in the net when he shoots.

    So pissed when CJ got a slight double and had Ant wide open but chucked instead.

    30 Clippers to 16 Blazers

    Leonard and Williams took two thirds of their free throws

    He has no problem passing the ball or doing dirty work. He'll be a good 3 and D roll player for us down the road when the bigs get back

    Both Dame and CJ need to be better at realizing there's an open three point shooter on the back side when two guys go at them on the PnR.

    But CJ....when he gets a mismatch. He is shooting. The probability is 99%.

    That right there is why I have his ass, @A$AP Meyers , and @DDolla on ignore. I made it about 1/3 of the way through this thread without being logged in (no ignore filter). Their shit is fucking pathetic. I had to log in, just to make them disappear....

    Totally... The current system he's played under during his career has really limited him to show the league he can score the ball.

    Lillard gets mind fucked by Doc Rovers every time they play the Clippers. Rivers always has a game plan for Dame while Stotts sits around with his thumb up his butt.

    Even when he doesn't have a mismatch, he's so good at breaking down defenders could be such a playmaker. Instead he's a robin dying to be Batman.

    GREAT news. He’s nice. Once he gets stronger, more experienced the sky’s the limit. His defense has even got better recently. He will definitely keep moods high in case this season turns into a lottery year as it looks like now.

    If this is a lottery year with a top 3 payroll there are serious problems. Currently I’m not sure I see the need Baze is filling, maybe trade that massive expiring for someone who would.

    Baze and Whiteside need to be traded for quality players we can count on the next 3-4 years while Dame is still in his prime. Anything short of that will be a failure by Neil Olshey
