Oh jeez, LA was their best option?

Phew!

Oh come on Lillard, show some class. I like Lillard but he shouldn't have dunked that.

He probably thought they were going to foul him, considering there was a Bull's player trailing him.

Nothing wrong with that dunk. If you don't want it to happen, get back on defense.

Cant we get a normal win without any trouble

You were saying?

Jeffries 1-2 in the clutch, Aldridge 2-2.

Of course it will be forgotten and people will again think Aldridge can't do it even though he's done it several times over the last few seasons. :rolleyes:

I might not have known the situation completely as I'm listening to the radio. If he was gonna be fouled it makes sense.

Lillard with another rookie mistake. :lol:

Gibson showing he's a little hothead.

Yeah, Nate was running after him.

Can't really blame him for the dunk though.

You didn't want to watch? It was on WGN.

HAHAH. Lillard was padding his stats..I think it was funny.

Well it still would've been preferrable if they got Lillard or Batum the ball down the line. LA did well this time and much respect to him for that, but you gotta do better at getting the ball to the higher percentage FT shooters with the game on the line, meaning Lillard, Wes, and Batum.

Good game from almost everyone who played tonight. Barton and Leonard both looked new to the game of basketball. But they are rookies so I guess it's to be expected.

Wes made some very tough shots tonight when we needed them most.

PDXKnight · Post #74 » by **PDXKnight** » Mon Nov 19, 2012 4:34 am

Wes looks like an entirely different player this season. If he plays like this continually his contract will be a steal.

It was a exaggeration to show how 'bad' Aldridge Clutch FT's are.

Good that our Go2Guy hits more clutch FT's than the end of the bench defensive specialist.

I just think that Aldridges Clutch FT's are way to shaky for a player of his caliber and his good shooting touch.

On another note, I was really dissappointed with Leonard tonight.
If your shot is not falling or you make a couple of mistakes/turnovers i dont give a **** but i didnt see any effort from him tonight.

Is that your way of downplaying how your original statement made you look bad?

U should expect Leonard to be up and down all year, hopefully showing modestly improved consistency in the last third of the season

Great win tonight. Made a rookie mistake at the end. Didn't mean any disrespect to the Bulls. Much respect for that team.

I'm glad he cleared that up. I didn't think it was intentional but an apology was in order and I'm glad he manned up on this one. It happens to the best of em', life goes on.

DusterBuster · Post #80 » by **DusterBuster** » Mon Nov 19, 2012 6:14 am

Every rook does that once. No biggie

The Bulls had a good game plan against Lillard, the pressure caused him to make some really rookie mistakes. He was struggling to get past the half court line (actually didn't do it once even though it wasn't called), then over passing late instead of just holding the ball and waiting for the foul.

And man I hate Nate Robinson. Doesn't matter what team that kids on, he always manages to torch the blazers.
