Mark my words. We will need our best player per minute Freeland to bail us out at the end.

 

No it wouldn't, but just watching him....he's pretty pedestrian as a playmaker.

 

I don't think so. Everyone in the NBA has confidence... doesn't mean their shot is going to fall.

 

Trade Mo and sign Kendell Marshall, what could go wrong?

 

Maybe it's not necessarily that he's a better playmaker than Dame, but maybe Dame is such a great pure scorer that the team works better with Batum initiating the offense at times?

 

I'm not a fan of his game at all, but to his credit, he's kept the number of selfish jacks in check tonight. I wonder if Stotts has taken him aside?

I'm really interested in seeing CJ in the lineup. Based on Summer League, he seemed capable of scoring in a greater variety of ways than Mo.

 

I dunno, either way I think the ball should be in Lillard's hands 90% of the time. He's your best player. If the shot clock is going down he's the best option for a bailout shot. I don't like Batum being the main ballhandler because he's just not too good at creating for himself, but maybe Stotts sets it up this way because Batum is just that much better of a playmaker.

 

In summer league CJ reminded me a little bit of a young Mo. Gunner type PG/SG who likes the ball in his hands.

 

*Sigh*, anything is better than Matthews trying to make a play though. Haha

 

LaMarcus talks about losing a step the past few years.....young LA would have been at the hoop waiting for that Matthews pass.

 

Mo is a good trade piece at least. I'd like to see 10-15 games of Mo with CJ and if Mo continues to play like a 2, deal him.

 

I'd like to put LA on Cousins, Lopez is doing all he can do but Cousins is still having his way with him.

 

Never seen Dame hesitate on a wide open three like that before...

 

There's a drive by Lillard.

More of that please. Kthx.

 

That was an awful pass though.

 

Anyone else notice how little whistles were hearing? I don't remember that many fouls.

 

I think he was surprised no one was going to run at him and try to block it.

 

They are letting us play, which is what they should do. I hate these 20+ FT's for both teams and 25+ fouls for both team games.
