That's close to an NBA record I think. I remember Bosh doing something like that lol.

Its actually the worst shooting performance by a rookie to make atleast one FG/shoot more than 10 shots. Nice to see he found other ways to help his team though. That's what separates the good from the great.

That's the thing about him that I like. It's really hard to look for positives on a 1-16 game... but Lillard seems to know when his shot is not falling and always gets good assists in those games. This obviously being the worst, and unfortunately he has to at least try to shoot at times like this even if it's not going in for him given the roster.

He rarely seemed to try to attack the basket that game. Going forward I hope he doesnt try to shoot himself out of the slump anymore.

you know how to break a shooting slump right!? shoot out of it. haha

i didn't watch the game, but if he was throwing shots up in desperation then i'd have a problem with it but if he was taking good shots but they weren't falling i like that he doesn't let 1-12 scare him and keeps going at it

He took good shots mostly but attacking the basket is never a bad idea. Good things always happen when he attacks inside.

Bad time for Drummond to get injured - he was about to earn his first start:

If Drummond had not gotten hurt against the Lakers, he would've started against the Nets the following Wednesday

It's mindblowing that Kyrie didn't get drafted first or 2nd. I like the Anthony Davis reaction :lol:

Beal returning from his injury in a big way. 28 points 4/5 from 3.

This kid has the potential to be an elite sg one day as long as he keeps working on his game.

Davis wanted to show up Lillard's 1/16 by going 0/7(1 point) :lol:

He did record 8 rebounds and 4 blocks in 17 minutes, but definitely his worst showing from the field.

Nando de Colo: 9 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 steals starting in place of Tony Parker.

All off the bench, too. Great game. Hopefully this means his wrist is fully healed.

Davis in his last two games combined is kinda similar to Lillard's one bad game.

Davis 2 games: 1/13 FG, 3 pts 14 rebs

Washington has been playing solid ball since Wall returned, and a Healthy Beal means a lot more wins. Their problem was never on defense; it was generating offense from a guard rotation of Beal, Crawford, and Price.
