    Played like a chicken with his head cut off. But where was Stotts to reign him in? For fucks sake.

    He hasn’t been good for a while now. When he doesn’t score, he doesn’t contribute a thing. Yeah aminu sucked tonight too but at least he contributes defensively and grabs boards. What’s cj’s excuse? If cj would of just made a couple more shots, that’s game. I don’t know why aminu had the ball in crunch time. I don’t know why we never double the guy that’s hot meanwhile they trapped dame all game including on the last possession and it worked. As much as I wanted to believe in a win streak, stupid me, this is a mediocre team.

    With all that said though Damian lillard should absolutely make the all star game

    Instead of being 4 ahead, were 2 ahead, and it sways the tiebreaker as well.

    That sounds like a good strategy actually. Let one guy go off and completely shut down everyone else. Our defense wasn't the problem.

    True. Aminu and CJ killed our offense.

    This. The whole "CJ is better than Dame" argument went right out the window, and good riddance.

    Couple things.

    1. Why did Aminu shoot so much? Holy shit, you're off, and you have no touch. If you're missing shots, PASS THE BALL.

    2. Why didn't we go to Nurk more in the fourth?

    3. Why the hell did we go for two when we needed a three with like 3 seconds left and no timeouts? That's Terry's offensive genius? We gave them a game. Absolutely gave it away.

    4. Dame needs to stop trying to draw fouls on the inbound in the ends of games. He never gets that whistle and it fucks up our rhythm on offense.

    Dame's missed FT is killer, but the team playing so clueless in the fourth is why we need to get Dame some help. God damn, that was frustrating.

    We absolutely gave a game away to the lesser team. Had a multi possession lead late and score only 6 points in the last 3:40.
