Game Thread 2025-26 GAME #33 - BLAZERS VS MAVERICKS - DECEMBER 29, 2025 - MONDAY - 7:30 PM - NBC - PEACOCK

[Cugel]

I can’t believe I’m being turned into a Caleb Love truther

I hear ya. He works hard out there.

 

[riverman]

Rupert is also playing really lock down defense. He’s quick and long. He looks way more comfortable tonight

 

[B-Roy]

The two big lineup is idiotic and Tiago should be ashamed

Looks. Not licks! Stupid auto spell!

 

[kjironman1]

Sure seems like we are seeing Sharpe break out a bit here this season. He’s so much more aggressive and willing to take the lead at times.

 

[blazerkor]

We're up at half. All we need is to play the second half with the same energy. That will be easier said than done on the second night of a back to back but our guys can pull it off.

Get the crowd into it and feed!

 

[kjironman1]

This game is a bit late for me in the middle of the week.

 

[riverman]

Clingan and Deni are a 1-2 punch

 

[PCmor7]

Is Love going to be a legit role player?

He looks it. He's played a lot more within himself and it's actually made him a better scorer.

Yeah, unfortunately, they just don't have enough players to play like this late in games. It is a shame that all these guys are missing. Jrue, in particular, I bet could play if they/he wanted. Their jump shots will start to get tougher to make in the second half.

 

[PCmor7]

Gafford is giving Clingan the business. What gives?

He's one of those guys who always seems to play well against the Blazers. Ninety percent of them are from the Pacific Northwest. He's one of those outliers.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Deni looking like Luka

Clingan is better than Flagg

 

[PCmor7]

Heck of a half. Can't think off the top of my head of any that were better. A couple were close or might have been marginally better, but I think we had some of our starters for those. Contributions from all over this game. Hope they can carry that over to the 2H, because it's fun to watch even the role players make noticeable winning plays.

 

[julius]

Clingan is starting to play like he's finally realized he's 7'3"

 

[PCmor7]

Looks. Not licks! Stupid auto spell!

They always try to blame it on the auto correct.

 

[Everything Beagle]

7’3” Bill Laimbeer

 

[Mediocre Man]

7’3” Bill Laimbeer

I just threw up in my mouth

 

[B-Roy]

Toumani makes too many stupid fouls

 

[B-Roy]

Someone tell Deni to stop forcing these passes

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Fubo dropped NBC so no game for me tonight. Thanks for the commentary, y’all.

 

[GoZers]

Yang is embarrassing. Great pick.

 

[B-Roy]

Splitter tanking with these Hansen mins

 

[Cugel]

Be surprised if they can keep this up for another quarter. DAL is now back in it. Probably best to have a draft pick anyways

 

[BlazerBeav]

This game has no business being this close better wake up.

 

[HailBlazers]

You don't have an antenna?

 

[wizenheimer]

Yang is useless....Blazers playing 4 on 5

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Yang is embarrassing. Great pick.

I don't think I have seen him do one positive thing tonight.

 

[B-Roy]

Yang is useless....Blazers playing 4 on 5

Blame splitter for playing him so long, and with a two big lineup.

He’s somehow +2, which says a lot about plus minus

 

[kjironman1]

You don't have an antenna?

Is it playing local?
