Game Thread 2022-23 Game #13 BLAZERS @ MAVERICKS - NOVEMBER 12, 2022 - SATURDAY - 5:30 PM (PDT) ROOT

[BassPlaya]

I don't worry about starter chemistry. I worry more about bench experience and readiness.....and these injuries/games off are helping that development....not to mention reducing wear and tear for the late season run!

 

[Chris Craig]

Not really acting like it's a problem. Just asking. When things are going good and the team is clicking, you don't mess with that chemistry. You just don't. So it's easy to say, I can't wait til we can add so in so to the mix. It doesn't work like that.

I don't agree. This team trusta each other explicitly no matter who is on the floor. We have a roster of guys putting ego aside to win.

So a massive mid-air collision occurred a few hours ago at a Dallas airshow. Video footage is all over the internet; i don't need to link it.

Super sad as apparently quite a few people might have died.

Wonder if they should just cancel or postpone this game.

Damn, that's terrible.


I don't think the game will be cancelled/postponed. I'm sure there will be a moment of silence.

Damn, that sounds terrible. Moment of silence in the stadium at the very least.

 

[wizenheimer]

yeah, the video of the mid-air collision are definitely a WTF? moment. A B-17 Flying Fortress and some type of fighter plane that cut the B-17 in half

from what i read online, apparently civilians paid to ride in the B-17

What was the pilot of the fighter plane thinking?

tragic

 

[oldmangrouch]

It's weird. From the various films I have seen, it looks like the AirCobra changed course and flew an intercept course right into the B17.

Yeah, that's what it appeared to me too. Didn't appear as though there was a an attempt to pull up or anything.

 

[Strenuus]

I'm not gonna watch that video, but I can't imagine what they went through.

 

[Shaboid]

Happened pretty fast. They were only what, 500 ft up. So sad.

 

[BassPlaya]

Such an unfortunate event....and so shocking to those involved and those in attendance. They will carry this throughout their lives.

 

[Chris Craig]

Yeah, it happened quickly. I don't think they had much time to suffer. Still, brutally fucking sad.

 

[Irish Trader]

Portland Trail Blazers
9-3 (9-2-1) 216.5 +180 24.5%
Dallas Mavericks
6-5 (3-7-1) -5.5 -220 75.5%

We continue to defy the odds. 3 to 1 underdogs getting 5.5 points. Dallas center is only 6'9" maybe thats why Nurk is out also to rest and we can play small ball. Lebron must be cathartic after a 2-10 start. Will he shut down or just ask to be traded.

 

[PDXFonz]

Playing Luka coming off 2 losses doesn’t seem good. I feel like Nurk woulda had a monster rebound game tonight so it sucks he’s still out.

I’m prepared for a loss.

This will be our toughest test of the season because DAL will be hungry after playing like actual scrubs their last two games. Not only did they lose 2 in a row back to back, they lost to Orlando and Washington. Both games they should have won and crapped their lead away. Getting absolutely demolished in the 3rd and 4th quarter of their losses. I think they scored like 11 (19?) points in the 4th the other night.

Edit: It was against the Magic. They were out scored 13-21 in the 4th and lost by 7.

 

[BBert]

They were also very predictable with their passes. Like oh they’re running this one again, this where they pass to Grant next etc…

The scouts have these guys watching game film looking for things like that.

And they often just turn and fire a blind cross court pass without looking, because that's the play. Those are completely avoidable, and super frustrating.

 

[B-Roy]

Sharpe is available lol, guess that fracture didn't mean much?

Winslow is out though, so out centers tonight are Drew Eubanks and ???

 

[blazerfan11]

so far

Watford will play C too. Maybe GB also gets some pt

 

[OneSport3]

Sucks that Winslow is out. He’s probably the only guy that has the strength and defensive skills to make Luka work hard.

 

[Predator]

How long is GPII out for conditioning? 6 weeks?

 

[B-Roy]

Don't think Nurk has a great matchup but really sucks we don't have Winslow tonight.

Says hes Probable

He’s out with sickness.

[Chris Craig]

Damn.

Ok
