Nice ballhog move by Fournier. Now we know why we have suffered through 6 years of miserable basketball

They just punk'd 5 points out of us for the last 60 seconds.

Wish we had a creator like Lillard.

Could easily be a much closer game going into the half if not for bad rebounding and ball control.

Fournier wouldn't even give Augustin the ball there. If Vucevic isn't in the game he'll just take it himself

DJ/Fournier backcourt :cry:

Augustin is having a horrid season. Very interested to see how long Clifford stays with him as the starter.

Why do every team make those last second shots at the end of the quarter against us? Portland has done this twice already.

If Augustin had long, floppy hair he'd have 5 threads on him by now.

He provided pretty much nothing on either end.

Pretty much the first time all season. That's a good sign at least, not many off nights for him.

What choice does he have? Grant has been worse.

Its only a 10pt game but feels like a 20pt lead but the low energy level.

That's why I'm interested... :lol:

Horrendously bad is being a little dramatic, I think.

Collins had 2 pretty lucky shots over him, but then 2 moves where he kinda just worked Bamba as well.

Last possession was a bit hard to guard as that was a horrid shot and Lillard was going downhill.

We don't involve him enough offensively to really critique him on that end yet.

Man dj is just rough to watch. Teams almost let him dribble into the paint. They know he isn’t getting a shot off and his decision making has been horrible. Can’t win in the nba without a shot creator

Fournier gotta go

I'd rather start Fournier at PG to bring the ball up the floor and let Vuc run the offense, that's what we're doing anyway. Then we could start Ross for better defense.

That's Fournier. We call it buddy ball, but Vuc will actually spread the ball around. Fournier has permanent blinders on though. He really only looks for Vucevic when he has possession.

He was due, he was solid last year.
Back to looking like a backup generator type player.

Isaac has a nice jumper, a block on Dame, and a killer dunk all in a row then DJ and Evan ignore him to the tune of 2 fastbreak turnovers.
