You can only go so far with a shoot first PG

Mo Williams, the team killer. Dude is a chucking mother er.
Lillard has been pretty solid in + - lately. Tonight not so much, but he was the only reason we even got close in the final minutes
s still got assists but it doesn't mean they ever got actively involved in creating scoring chances for teammates imho. They only pass the ball when they had to because they're shoot-first PGs, and you never expect to go very far in the playoffs when they're the best PGs on your squad. 2nd round ceiling team tbh. Just like I said a while back, the Blazers are just a dog house comprised of cancers and double-edged swords, who'll make more negative impact than positive on the team when the playoffs begin.
@ this thread.
Aldridge shooting 7-22 jumps out more to me tbh
LMA has a +/- of +2
The game all comes down to defense, It was complete . Peck was killing us. Love won the battle on aldridge tonight. They out played us plain and simple. We can score with anyone most nights but that isn't going to win us games now or even possibly the post season. We need to start focusing on that more. We will see how we bounce back in the next couple of games
Aldridge Mattews and Williams combining for 15-46 sort of stands out too
Whats the point of us puting up 110 if we are giving up 120
People who ignore the PG, the primary ball handler and distributor when looking at shooting percentages of other players, are short sighted. Good shooters are good shooters because they get the ball in their spots and they get it in rhythm. Shoot first PGs pass as a last resort, and often the recipient of that pass is in a bad spot when it happens. I doubt many plays are run for Matthews, and Aldridge is a cleanup guy when your PG is taking 25 shots a game. PG shot above 50%, but how many seasons do you have to watch to understand how ball movement affects the offense?
They just couldn't knock down the shots they usually do. Lots missed at the rim too. Lillard did a good job I thought setting them up they just couln't finish
Matt Bonner being the king of +/- tells me it's not much of a measurement of anything tbh
This was the Blazers' 4th game in 5 nights and the second of a back-to-back. Calm down everyone.
How can you argue against the FACTS of STATS!!!
That +/- from Thomas Robinson.
Really thought that guy would have been somebody
It's not "everyone." It's just DMC tbh, and as a sign if his rationality he is using single game +/- to justify his stance
You play for the Blazers?
pretenders
Blazers running their players to the ground first half of the season
One-game +/- is the most useless stat in the box score, tbh
Yeah but it sure makes the natives restless. Too bad the other tribe members are often to bubble headed to see that.One-game +/- is the most useless stat in the box score, tbh
So Lillard went 13-24 for 36 Points and added 6 rebounds and 6 assists and yet you felt the need to make a thread saying he shot his team out of the game? DMC you are a ing hopeless individual.
Lillard shot >50%...I think he had a decent game offensively.
