he has just not been himself at the end of season and last night, is there some new injury we don't know about or is he just playing this poorly?
Granted he didn't play great in Game 1, but he's been typical RoLo to me to end the season? I didn't see him have any particularly bad games? Or are you guys being box score guys now, because I thought by now as Blazer fans we know the impact he brings outside of just the stat sheet.
Rolo played absolutely shitty last night. It goes well beyond the box score. He was late on help, didn't box out and blew many assignments. The only player that was half way decent was Aldridge and he even shot poorly. The entire team was complete shit last night
Are they all hurt? Because they all played shitty last night. Steve Blake was disastrous. CJ was invisible.
Do you usually skip reading the first sentence in posts? The first thing I said in my post was that he did have a bad Game 1, and that I wasn't referring to Game 1.
The last two regular season games I think Rolo had 1 rebound. Until he starts getting double doubles again it's fair to say he's disappeared, intangibles and all. He needs to get rebounds and finish around the rim. This is where Kim Hughes needs to step up and break a couple of chairs
Something might be up with Robin, because he looked a step slow from the jump last night and he hasn't been very productive this month. Could it be his back is bothering him, we all know he has to lay down on the bench during games?
CJ was invisible because he should be our sixth man, not starting in a playoff game against the Grizz. That is only thanks to injuries to Wes and Afflalo. Crabbe was also invisible, and that was off the bench. At one point he came out of the game, and I'd had no idea he was IN the game. Blanky wasn't a zero, he was a negative. Everyone started off badly, Dame especially, but Aldridge too. It was like a bunch of rookies getting over-amped their first time on a big stage. Aldridge settled down and got better, Dame not so much. By the end of the game he was missing bunnies. The most calm and collected player on the team was Batum, followed by Kaman and Meyers. Not surprisingly, they had the best games. Yes, we miss Wes this much. A healthy Wes last night and I think we'd have seen a different Dame, as well.
I did read it. You didn't say bad game. You said he didn't have a great game. That is downplaying a completely shitty performance. A great game would be 12-15 points, 10-12 rebounds, 2-3 blocks. An average game would be 8-10 points, 6-8 rebounds, 1-2 blocks A shitty game is 2 points, 5 rebounds, 0 blocks and shooting 0% from the field
No, he just isn't very good when he has to guard very skilled or athletic bigs. To be fair not many are though. He is like Mozgov. He is a good asset to have because of size, above average boxing out and enough offensive ability to get you 4-5 buckets a night when needed.
Because there are only a few of them that exist for each position and they're usually one dimensional. For example, Tony Allen.
Well besides the fact that I'm still technically correct and you can interpret it any way you want, your original post talked about the "goes beyond the boxscore" reference for game 1, which I made clear I wasn't talking about game 1 in that post. But yes he did indeed have a bad game 1, he didn't play much either.
This is the post season. Regular season doesn't mean shit in this platform. If Rolo averaged 30 points and 52 boards in the regular season and then played like last night, when it matters the most, it wouldn't mean shit.
