Dame missed a wide open Stauskas a few times as well, kinda pissed me off. No need for Dame to take 21 shots.
I don't understand this attitude at all. He's consistently our third most important player and one of the top defenders in the league. Sure he looks ugly on offense on occasion, but then he has a dunk like he had last night...
This game only proved one thing to me really. Rondo can't defend Lillard in iso situations. Maybe when Rondo was younger he could've done it. But not anymore. However he's smart enough to know how to defend the P&R. I loved Lillard's dunk in the first minute or so. But it just makes me even more salty about the Pelicans vs Blazers series last year.
Curry only had 15 minutes. I can only assume that that was because Stauskas was out of his mind (and Turner was also playing great). But nonetheless, Curry continues the preseason trend of being our best +/- guy - +18 in his few minutes. Surprisingly great: Stauskas, Collins, Turner, Meyers (4 assists, +8 in 8 mins) Props also to Harkless, who was nicely active and hit a three and showed very little rust Surprisingly NOT: The starters, but especially Nurk (-17 in 17 mins) although his stats looked nice, especially for the few minutes. Dame looked very sloppy - lots of careless turnovers.
I predict Jake's time in the starting lineup will be brief indeed. Only slightly less brief will be his time in the rotation.
Ok fuck TNT... Not only for the Laker cock gobbling but for the simple fact that they SCREW my DVR by having like 8-10 mins of the previous broadcast. I didn't get to see anything after SteakSauce (one word) hit the three out of that corner sequence with Dame and Moe. Does anyone else have PSVue? Can I fix this?
I was mocking another poster who decided he needed an entire new thread letting us know he had just got home from the game sir. Keep up.
To be fair, you just exasperated what you hate by adding to it... so in reality, you're also the cause of the issue. FAMS.
I understand what you are saying and there is no doubt there are times where in hind sight he should have passed. But once CJ gets in the painted area I like the odds better if he shoots it. The alternative has several endings...an assist, turnover, missed shot by another player, and even no shot at all. I will take the 40% chance he makes it or draws a foul. Plus if he does miss the shot theoretically there should be 2 Blazers who could be in good position for the put back. They should be crashing the boards. Again I am not saying he should never pass in those situations but if he is in the lane, he is better than most. Last night was not a good example though as his shot got blocked a few times.
How do you not add an hour to the back end of every game you record? Especially a national broadcast?
You let this type of thing continue. That should be merged with the game thread as should mine. That type of thing doesn’t need to clog up the main page. His was just as foolish as mine. Earn your check kid.
I agree. I disagree. Jake is not Harkless, he is not useful being a Jake of all trades (har har) - but if he is featured somewhat as a scorer - he becomes very useful. He will be fine in the 2nd unit playing the 4 next to Zach.
This is the element of AI's game that most people don't fully grasp. If you put enough pressure on the defense, good things happen more often than not, even if the shot selection isn't great.
Same with CJ. He get's a screen from collins and instead to Pass him and doing some PnP he goes to the Basket for 1vs3 . CJ will Never change
