Blazers @ Dallas 12/15/10, The Revenge of the Mavericks

[Pinwheel1]

Just popped in to say fuck you Dirk and fuck you refs.

LA had a fantastic game though and Wesley was his usual money self.

You pretty much summed it up perfectly

 

[VanillaGorilla]

I criticize Aldridge all the time, but he had an absolutely amazing game. Andre had two consecutive turnovers in the last two minutes.. That's what lost us the game.

Agreed. Aldridge was huge tonight.

 

[B-Roy]

These games are the ones that frustrate me the most. We all know Aldridge has this talent....he just rarely uses it. Why???

 

[repda503]

Andre was PISSED at the end of the game launching the ball. I also saw him going off on the bench when Nate took him out at the end of the 3rd qtr when the Mavs stretched the lead back out to 10. Anyone else see this?

 

[VanillaGorilla]

I said to my brother that Aldridge looked possessed. Why can't he try that hard more often? Was it because he was in his home town? That's a little ridiculous to me. He should be able to show that kind of effort more often.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

yeah. he was pissed.

I saw it. Maybe he tossed the ball at the end of the game cause his two turnovers on consecutive possessions with under 2 minutes to play squashed our chances of winning.

I think we'll see this team become more Aldridge-centered as the year goes on. LA has been playing second and third fiddle for a long time. He has the talent to be a #1 option.

 

[bodyman5001]

I am hoping that Aldridge sees that Roy will never be the go to guy again and knows that it is his time to take over. Maybe the mental part will finally be there full time.

 

[Pinwheel1]

He was pissed because they called ticky fucking tack fouls on the Blazers on one end, and not on the Mavs on the other end. They were not even close to being consistent in the last 3 minutes with there calls.

I saw it. It also looked like Nate had to yell to him a couple times to get him up off the bench.

WTF has he been waiting for?

 

[Mediocre Man]

So this was the refs fault? LOL ok

 

[B-Roy]

WTF has he been waiting for?

Some players just don't have the mindset. I don't think Aldridge will ever have that mindset, but he'll definitely tease us with his talent.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Fuck off MM. I know you like to say that every time and it's not the point. The point is the game was tied in the last two minutes. They call a touch foul on Roy sending Dirk to the line, then they call nothing on the other end when Andre gets more than touched. 4 point swing under 2 minutes is a factor. Not the only factor, but they did alter the game. And that is why miller was pissed.

 

[PapaG]

Miller a team-worst +/- in a loss again at -10.

 

[PapaG]

Miller was the worst on the team in +/- again. Let him throw his tantrums; he isn't helping the team win games.

 

[MickZagger]

Miller a team-worst +/- in a losss again at -10.

We should have kept Bayless, he could be the starter. He had a -27 against the Bulls tonight

 

[illmatic99]

Single game +/- doesn't mean shit. I hate that sports sites cite that stat in box scores now, because people who don't understand it try to use to make bullshit points.

 

[hasoos]

We should have kept Bayless, he could be the starter. He had a -27 against the Bulls tonight

Wow you would think with the way you folks use +/- it almost seems like those individual players are solely responsible for the results.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Bayless with 20/4/3 tonight on 9-15 shooting

Bayless with 20/4/3 tonight on 9-15 shooting

Impossible. I was told he only has a couple of those kind of games a year.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

He's on quite a tear recently. I guess this means we all get to blame Nate.

You're certainly entitled to blame Nate if you want. I know where I'm placing the blame, though.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

And where is that?

 

[hasoos]

And where is that?

Is that kind of like sticking the blame somewhere? I bet the sun doesn't shine there....

 

[RoyToy]

And where is that?

There's only one GM on this team.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

There's only one GM on this team.

You'd say there's that many?

 

[RoyToy]

Well, I'll put it this way
