    Nobody on this team is a knock down shooter.

    Are you taking about literally one possession?

    Harden has had that look also in a few possessions. Though that isn't a shot I want Harden to take now as he isn't in a rhythm like Lillard is currently.

    We really really should trade Capela and Tucker. We aren't going to rebuild, so we might as well see what we can get for those two. Maybe we will get lucky.

    Eric Gordon is when healthy. He's shooting around 40% from three since his return.

    Knock down? They ain't shooters at all in many games.

    Now that the knees are tired......

    Is Lillard getting doubled teamed constantly at half court like Harden is? No. So it's irrelevant what you're saying. If Lillard gets doubled teamed like Harden is, I guarantee he does the same thing Harden is.

    After all that hate and meltdown posts and tut-tutting at his efficiency, Westbrook is the only one on this team playing with any kind of fire. Or efficiency, for that matter. For weeks now.

    This is greater than fit, there's something going on behind the scenes. I hope Harden is more injured than just a bruised thigh, because something stinks.

    McLemore is close to one.

    Real knockdown shooters cost more than the vet minimum. Tell that to Tilman.

    We are objectively still in this ... but i dont trust harden tonight . I can count on my hands the number of times ive thought that in the last half decade. But i think hes not near 100 percent right now. He can still make a wide open shot if WB gets him one tho.

    He has on a couple of possessions. But he doesn't stand around and dribble nearly as much as Harden so the team doesn't have as much of a chance to trap Lillard like Portland can do with Harden with his slow stationary dribble.

    You are blind at this point if you see that Lillard is doing the same thing as Harden. Harden is the league leader in standing in one spot and dribbling.

    Harden is an embarrassing mess right now & it's rubbing off on the rest of the team. He's trying to put the least amount of effort just to get by & get his shots up & cant even seem to hit those either. Lazy, scripted passes, minimal effort defense, & just overall terrible hustle/effort. The game against the Jazz & tonight is a night & day difference in terms of defensive effort & playing smarter/crisper offense.

    This is the best Westbrook strech of games in his career, in terms of %s and stuff, Yet our other playing is messing it all up, Harden smh. I cant stand the body language he does.

    But I feel EG is a rhythm type shooter. He is not coming in cold and knocking down shots IMO.

    There are a lot of things wrong with this tram

    no depth
    Our best player is mentally weak
    Our second best player can’t shoot threes
    Our head coach doesn’t coach

    For all of Westbrook's drives to the basket, he has ZERO attempts on FTs. The refs aren't calling the fouls fairly until the 4th quarter. The Blazers have a +12 pts on FTs.
