Game Thread 2022-23 Game #42 - BLAZERS VS MAVERICKS - JANUARY 14, 2023 - SATURDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[Mr. Robot]

we have gotten full nurk experience: hitting 3-pointers, missing layups, dunking the ball, getting hit in the face, making two fouls in 1:14, turnovers

in a weird way, perfect nurk game, had it all

Only 153 posts in a game thread? Must be a win.

Hey there......
Long time asshole, first time poster.
Great game!

 

[riverman]

I'm happy for Chauncey tonight. He needed to win a game as much as anybody around.

 

[wizenheimer]

I mean I’m sitting 25 ft from them. I can see exactly what is happening.

if I had 3o seconds on a phone I could type: is jg that / a foaull.\?

Chauncey still coaching.
Notice Kidd is done.View attachment 52916

I think all we can take from this photo is Billups is standing and Kidd is sitting. And the Blazers won!

36 points on 20 shots along with 10 assists with only 1 turnover. Dame has been cooking lately but it's great to see him do it while taking care of the ball like we're used to seeing him do in the past.

did you notice how Eeyore disappeared when the Blazers built a big lead and Dame was going great?

if Ja, or Doncic, or Porter or whichever player on another team Eeyore has the hots for had scored 50 and 36 in consecutive games, Eeyore would have been erupting all over the forum

Portland winning and Dame playing well is the worst thing that can happen to Eeyore

yeah, I'm going with your new nickname for him

LOL...there might be a new forum game!

(Assuming we don't blow it) isn't this about our first blowout win of the season?

Denver. Ant-ferno.

Sounds familiar...



Those who love a weird, early challenge are probably team Kidd though.

 

[Cugel]

the grass is always greener, always has, always will be. But Dallas could have kept Brunson for like HALF of what NYN paid him. Brunson would have changed Dallas significantly. He is really having a great year.

 

[Strenuus]

I was told by a Thunder fan that Dame was old and washed.

He's a really good coach I was never worried. So glad we have an amazing coach now!

So why didn't they keep him?

Our last win (vs Detroit) was a blowout! We blew out Denver too.

Great picture

 

[Cugel]

Clearly they didn't think he was worth it, that he had reached his ceiling?? I wonder if Cuban regrets the decision.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Doncic 1-6 from FT line. You're welcome.

Dallas 57% from FT. You're welcome.

I was shocked when he missed the 5th one.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

lol he lives in your head rent free

Seems more like i live in yours but okay.

GP is a certified game changer. Love the energy that he brings. The Warriors are missing him immensely. I’m excited to see how he and Justise will anchor the bench unit.

It’s crazy how close he was to hanging it up and being a video coordinator.

That was the point. Seriously Chauncey was extremely active tonight. Very animated at times. Obviously if you read the thread you know what i posted about Nurk. I really think that was a huge turning point in the game. Nurk came back in and played very very well. Those original posts weren't even really about Nurk. They were about Chauncey Billups holding him accountable.
Then the bench guys went in with about 5 mins left and they almost immediately gave up 6 points. Lead was down to about 17 if I'm correct? Chauncey called a time out and rallied the bench guys. First play out of the TO was to Sharp and they scored.
Chauncey continued to coach the entire game.

Trying to give Billups some credit for a decent night.
