Official Kings at Blazers 12/8/12 Game Thread (confirmed)

Why the hell isn't Lillard doing this more often? Instead of playing passer??

 

Lol getting blown out at home by a winless road Kings teams. This team makes my blood pressure rise.

 

Damian still trying to play passer...sigh, I just don't get it. He can get his whenever he wants, but he's still content passing to a bunch of incompetents.

Seriously, once that ball leaves his hands I already know the possession is screwed.

 

if any of our starters are out for any length of time we are truly fukked, we aren't very good in any case but that just magnifies everything

 

We are pretty much crippled if any of our starting 5 is down.

 

We need more than 12 points fom Lillard in 37 minutes of play. Ah well. Aldridge foul trouble, Batum, Wes, it all fell apart this game. Up next: Raptors. Any thoughts as to how we match up?

 

He's shooting 5 of 13.

 

tough call, depends who can play and which team shows up

 

Mostly jumpshots. He can drive whenever he wants....he just never wants to. Or when he gets in the lane he's looking for shooters rather than looking to shoot.

 

Tell me about this Zeller kid?

 

Lost to 0-12 Wizards, winless road Kings. If your team is struggling you better circle the Blazers on your calendar.

 

he missed on a couple drives. He doesn't finish like Roy yet

 

I'd rather let 2, 3, or 4 of these scrubs go and pick up some NBDL players and givem a chance, WTF would we have to lose?

 

When I was in Boston, I over heard a fan say "Portland might be the worst team in the NBA right now."

 

Standings

Portland 8-12
Sacramento 7-12

Oh dear

 

The point isn't that he has to make everything. The point is when he's aggressive the entire team is better because the opponents can't crowd the shooters. When Lillard starts penetrating it starts opening things up because guys become more focused on him. THEN, he can start looking for guys to pass to. Too often all he's doing is looking for shooters. The opposing team sees this and they know they can just body up shooters and make it hard for him to pass.

 

We are on some nights. Like tonight. Who would we have beaten tonight?

 

Ah..

 

Well what can you do. We need 3 of 4 of our core guys to have good games to win. When two are battling injuries we just lose. We have 4 good players and the rest are rookies or scrubs.
I forgot to add one good garabage man also in hickson.

I like to see Lillard trying to distribute the ball but on nights these he needs to have an aggressive, score-first mentality, especially when he's on the floor with 4 D-leaguers. Oh well, part of the rookie thing I guess.
