Zo is going to have to start driving and pulling up at least until Ingram gets back as team are taking away the driving and passing lanes and just tossing it to Randle is fools gold because he can't pass well enough out a of a double team.

Blazers are a top 5 defense. They bottled us up. :manny:

They gave up 35 in the 4th because Dame got hot. IT was ass, but Thrillard just elevated his game. The Lakers don't have anyone who can do that and that's the difference.

They had a 10 point lead that IT pissd away with his shots and turnovers. It wouldn’t matter if dame was making shots if they continued to score.

Dame needed a crazy 4th to beat our team with Ingram and Hart out, it sucks that we lost but moral victory :yeshrug:. Just hope we can steal one in Denver, most likely not though:mjcry:

This, Zo is shooting 48% at the rim, which don't make any sense for someone who 6'6". He's awful in mid-range too.

If I was Walton I would enourage him to take it the shot even if he isn't comfortable taking it to open things up.

Now that teams are not giving open him an open 3 anymore and straight up doubling Randle the shot is there he's goingt to need to take that shot.

I like Paul George, but I'll be upset if they throw a max offer at him. $30+ million a year? I'm out at that price. Would rather wait for 2019 if things are actually bad between Kawhi and the Spurs.

I would rather have Kawhi too but if PG wants to sign with us you would be a fool to pass up on the sure thing.

I understand the sentiment, but at $30 million...I gotta think about it. :hubie:

Randle's gonna get close to $20 from them. You want half the cap tied up in him and George? :patrice:

Ideally no, but we need an all-star player to attract the other big name free agents.
Where do you rate PG as a player?

He’s definitely not worth a max imo.
He is borderline top 15 and currently the best 2 way player in the league.
