Is Dame playing through injury or something?

Hear me out, I do believe Griffin will be fired if we start getting embarrassed by the Boston's of the world. Those will be much noisier losses

This team doesn't need Beasley. Marjon can shoot, and would get great looks with the starters.

Cash in on Beasley's trade value while you can.

It shouldn't be a shock our 2nd half defense was much improved and we won the half with Beas, Payne, & Bobby playing fewer minutes. Now hopefully Griff sticks with starting Ajax over Beas. If he goes back to the same starting 5 that will be quite frustrating.

I'm sure it had nothing to do with the Rockets letting up after a 20 point halftime lead. But yeah, give Grief credit.

I am one of the biggest Griffin haters on this board, I've criticized him plenty. The first half was the same crap we've seen all season, but he legitimately made some good adjustments in the 2nd half. That said I'm very worried on if he'll follow through on those and I expect Beas to be back starting Monday over Ajax or MarJon on Monday but for tonight I will give him credit for the 2nd half considering it's the stuff I've been wanting him to do

Coach needs to go, he has lots any merit he had

Aside from the off-court things happening in his life, I think Griffin having him play so much off-ball is affecting his usefulness. Dame is a rhythm player who needs the ball in his hands.

He's playing though wishing he was in Miami partying and banging models.

The rockets are a bad offensive team so idk if the defense really was better. I liked the AJJ and MJB looks. I think a trade is coming, none of the core 4 but definitely some combo of Pat, Bobby, and the younger guys. This is probably Giannis best season and it’s a shame the team just feels so meh. Dame being so inconsistent isn’t that surprising to me but it still bothers me so much. Maybe because he just doesn’t care to try to defend. He feels like a middle class, short Harden with better pr TM. I was the first to make that comparison.

Dame played off ball a ton in Portland

If say in the offseason the Bucks and Dame both decide it's just not going to work, could we still get a decent package back? Possibly younger players to go with Giannis?

Most annoyed with Dame protecting his FG% AGAIN by passing to Bobby at the end of the quarter last second and Bucks not even getting a shot up. 3rd or 4th time this year at least.

Missed shots happen. Intentionally preventing scoring chances is BS. Same with the casual D, not boxing out etc

And there are plenty of Portland fans who will tell you he doesn't do much when he's off-ball.

When Bud had tragic personal issues, he was fired. We should never forget that.

Giannis looking like 2018 Bron.

fan230 · Post #39 » by **fan230** » Sun Jan 7, 2024 4:11 am

Is there a way we can trade Damian Lillard? I am sure we can get good players in exchange. He had that gimmicky Dame time early on. He is ruining our season snd spoiling Giannis’ best season.

This team needs a real coach.
