Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Do you live in Phoenix? Fuck the Sugar Bowl, I will bet you a beer at the brewery of your choice. You are over 21 right? lol
Dinner at El Chorro then but not in the lounge …they might card
 
Except Donovan is scoring more on much more efficient shooting and you wannt JBB to do what they did in Utah instead of this MVP canidate version of Donovan?
Hmm, not sure how to respond to this lol. Other than to say it was clear that DM was gonna take a massive, massive leap this year and because of JBB's bad coaching, it's only been a really big leap.

I think you are my spirit animal.

You probably take that as a compliment as our humor lines up, but most would take it as insult...but fuck them if they cant take a joke right? :chuckle:
 
I just would like to see more parts of the offense to utilize Donovan off the ball, back door cuts, back picks for Donovan (saw this a lot in Utah). We get stagnant a lot and then becomes too much 1v1 in many parts of the games. These guys are definitely great 1v1 players but there is a lot to basketball to utilize them on the offensive end.

I always give credit to JBB on the defensive side. Very picky when it comes to offense.
Also, Portland is 12th in defensive points allowed per game. We scored 68 points in the second half and 7 more points overall than they usually give up.

Of course there is room for improvement in offensive flow but I think some of what gets criticized about our offense in general is operating under the assumption that a perpetual motion style offense is best for all rosters. Based on our extreme talent at lead guard and our extreme dearth of reliable 3P wing shooters, it’s not currently the best style of offense for our roster imo

Survived a 50-ball from Dame, and a Scott Foster ref crew that put Mobley in foul trouble early.
THANK THE MATRIX RUBIO IS BACK. 10 minutes, 2/4 from 3, 9 points, just great on the floor.
Bigs were able to eat against their wack ass interior defense, but the Cavs not named Garland, Mitchell and Rubio are still ass from 3. Shout out to Okoro for making one at the right time. He needs to be part of the closing lineup. At least LeVert learned his lesson.
 
Technically I was working so I didn’t have commentary up.. had no clue Dame got 50!
 
And 1/2 game behind the Bucks who also lost tonight
It's tight in the East! We're in 4th, one game out of 2nd, 4 behind Boston.

I think Okoro could be all nba defense if he tried to stay in front of his defender just a little be longer before forcing him to one side or the other. He has all the physical tools to do it. And this is easier said then done obviously with him drawing tough assignments every night.
 
Its funny how Dame was expecting bailout calls at the end.

Welcome to Cleveland 4th Quarter defense Dame.
