    He didn't contribute aside from that 1 three. We went from shutting down Lillard with Douglas to him exploding on us with Lin. Lin kept helping off of him too much. Just played terrible D.

    You're a moron. He shot 1-6 again tonight. Delfino 1-7. Asik 2 out of 7 layups. It's embarrassing.

    He's better than Jonny Flynn.

    The question is how we can get a backup PG.

    I actually agree with OP. He just said he wasn't all bad right? At least we found one bright spot.

    Right. Unfortunately, he can't do anything else right either.

    He's a decent enough back-up.

    Even watch the game? Lillard didn't do nothing through longs stretches of the 2nd and 3rd quarters with Lin on him. Granted Lillard got hot at the end, but its funny how you forget Lin's passes, steals, and his and one at the end of regulation.

    I have a question


    Got a question - cause i am a basketball noob.
    please enlighten me.
    After Jlin scored. shouldn't they have just protected the prerimeter and let them score a 2 and then simpily just run out the clock?


    painful lost - almost had it .
    shouldn't have gone to overtime?

    Yes I did watch the game. Which is why I was able to see Lin playing terrible defense on Lillard at the end. He continuously went for steals and Lillard made him pay. Poor defense. Lillard won the game for them in OT.

    Lin played really poor D on Lillard in OT, and had a poor overall game. Harden had a poor second half and settled for 3s. Hopefully they bounce back now that they have a break for a bit, but that is what happened this game.

    From what I have seen, Douglas is not good at all. I think Livingston would have been better.

    Asik at least has the excuse of playing heavy minutes as a starter. Not sure what Delfino's excuse is. I'm not even sure why he's playing. He chucks the ball like Kobe with meager results.

    Douglas is playing hard and has found a niche as a defender.

    Douglas played excellent D on Lillard in the 4th, but otherwise he sucked ass. Blown easy layups and I seriously thought he was r****ded when he went up for a 15 feet jumper instead of taking it to the rim as the lane was wide open. Ugh....

    Douglas is playing hard, but not getting any results. He's put up numbers before. My guess is he's pressing, and putting a ton of pressure on himself.
