Come out with the same energy and effort as last game should be ok. Might have some trouble with the PG twins. WeHam we could use one of them by the way hint hint

Lillard is going to kiiiilllll DJ, 30+ game from him. If we let Lillard and McCollum get theirs and lock everyone else up we might have a shot, not worried about nurkic in the slightest.

Aminu Versus AG and Isaac is the matchup I am interested in.

Basically what Ive been saying. He has been outstanding on defense so far this season and his effort on both ends has been noticeably higher as well.

LOVE when Cliff took the TO then started barking at AG... AG then said a few things looked like an assistant chimed in and got in between Cliff/AG and Cliff made sure to brush through that. Seemed like assistant was trying to play good cop and Cliff said nah mofo hear me loud and clear I'm holding you accountable.

we played them tight both times last season, we'll see.

Don't let CJ and Lillard go off, play good defense and we should win this. Easy

Lillard is averaging 29 ppg in three games so It wouldn't surprise me if he hung 30 on us. If he does then there has to be an effort to stop everyone else.

Worried about being able to score enough points to win . As nice as it was to beat Boston , we still couldn’t score .

on DJ?Could be 50+.
Grant should start and guard him imo.

PrimeThyme · Post #19 » by **PrimeThyme** » Thu Oct 25, 2018 8:24 pm

DJ is almost unplayable in this game. Lillard will eat him alive in the PnR if he starts. I said this before we played Charlotte, but I think you have to start Grant here.

Wonder if we are going to see Jonathan Simmons guarding Lillard at some point? Yes DJ will get annihilated if he plays heavy minutes.
