    I say we ban Darkwebs for the Purple and Yellow Pinwheel. He didn't label it "NSFW".

    It's so disgusting and offensive.

    One of the worst teams in the league this year send the Lakers to their worst loss in history and the purple and piss start their SF at PG and only get 10 assists as a team. Hmm... Maybe that wasn't a good idea? But please do it again against us!

    The HCP has the day off. Going to sit back and enjoy the game with the FAM. Don't get to do that very often.

    Dame is now shooting 34.2% from 3.

    Not even average now.

    WTF is going on? He is such a fundamentally sound shooter. Great rotation, good lift, and perfect footwork. He's better than this.

    Stats - Clash of two of the worst defensive teams in the league:

    Blazers:
    Drtg: 27th (up from 28th, lol)
    Ortg: 13th

    Lakers:
    Drtg: 30th (dead last)
    Ortg: 20th

    538: PDX 78% to 22% chance to win

    Shot selection, not ability. The more "absurd" shots he takes, the lower his percentage is going to be.

    It's not even the long bombs anymore that he's missing. His regular 23' shot off the dribble coming around picks used to be killer since his rookie year. Guys go under the screen, he burned em. No longer the case.

    Maybe it's the fact that he palms the ball and brings his fingertips back off the ball when he reaches his set point? Or the fact that he bends his wrist sideways to get his hand under the ball but he doesn't do it till he reaches his set point? Or maybe its because his elbow is out so much.

    Check out his shot in slow motion. It's actually kinda funky.
