Game Thread GAME# 24: BLAZERS @ MAVERICKS - DECEMBER 4, 2018 - TUESDAY, 5:30 PM, NBCSNW

[illmatic99]

Ok, Dame. I think it's time to panic now.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I have nothing good to say. I just.....feel dead inside.

 

[Chris Craig]

Only down 15

 

[JDC]

Um, I wish they were pressing on defense.

Are you sure you're watching the Blazers vs Mavericks game?

Yup.

Process over results.

 

[illmatic99]

Looking at the stats, I noticed this:

1st 13 Games Collins: Avg 21 min/gm and Blazers were 10-3
last 10 Games Collins: Avg 16 min/gm and Blazers are 3-7

*Laymen hasn't played in 4 straight games

playing him as a 4 w/ meyers is neutering his game

Bring back Mike Rice so we can at least enjoy hearing some comedy and make the game more enjoyable while the Blazers are sucking.

This is why I have checked out of blazer games early and lost all interest in this team. Been years and years since I did this in a season. It’s just so ridiculous. I don’t understand where management thinks this team can go. I don’t. It’s pathetic honestly and I feel bad for dame. Paul Allen rolling over in his grave

Years and years? Two seasons ago, we were like 9 games below .500 mid season but NOW at 13-10, you check out?

 

[Strenuus]

Dame better be chewing everyone out.


LOL right, like that'd happen.

 

[H.C.]

@hoopsjock
Hey we didn't give up a 30 point quarter.
Winning.....

 

[hoopsjock]

Ok, Dame. I think it's time to panic now.

Didn't you hear, they just aren't fresh right now. Nothing to worry about! Other team's are struggling too!

So sick of the bullshit, I just want players to get mad and show some emotion.

 

[LayneStaley]

Nah man, I'm sick of people saying shit like "see we should've tanked, I totally called it!". If only we tanked the 2011-12 season then we'd have Anthony Davis and Lillard.

You need to learn to read sarcasm a bit better, if I was serious there wouldn’t have been a smiley face on the end of that sentence. Tanking wasn’t an option but trades were, a lot of potential deals for a top 5 pick were debated to nauseum last Feb on this board. Bottom line this is the team we are stuck with until there is ownership in place, I’d sure as hell rather fall into the lottery than grab the 8 seed.

 

[Strenuus]

Yup.

Process over results.

Can I ask what process you're seeing? Cause all I'm seeing is a team that regresses to their mean, and only goes above it when one of two players gets hot.

The "BE BETTER" challenge!

Yup!! Told ya

Shouldn't of have had those nachos

 

[Gronk Brady]

Hate to say I told you so, but... I told you so! McLillard will never work!

 

[hoopsjock]

Yup.

Process over results.

Seriously, what the fuck are you talking about?

The process over results implies that they are playing the right way but not seeing the results. Do you honestly think they are playing the right way right now?

 

[Strenuus]

Hate to say I told you so, but... I told you so! McLillard will never work!

Why are you lying? Lying is bad.

Sweet Zombie Jeebus on a Jet Ski!

I don't care what anybody says - there is *something* going on behind the scene that has this team psychologically and/or emotionally messed up.

They can’t play the right way with 2 undersized ISO ball chuckers taking 60% of the shots and not playing defense

Everyone caught the "harkless"

 

[JDC]

Agreed.

Roster construction is an issue.

But again, that has nothing to do with effort and coaching...which is what most want to blame this game on.

 

[James lamphear]

It time to get players attention especially the 2nd unit. I know Swanigan Layman Simons Trent would love to play. It time to give players DNP next game that totally not give the effort to be out there.

 

[Gronk Brady]

TRADE CJ!!!

 

[Strenuus]

Agreed.

Roster construction is an issue and something I've talked a lot.

But again, that has nothing to do with effort and coaching...

To which we have none of either.

Team going on an Anti-Defense strike because they want Stotts to play Layman (hasn't played in 5 straight games) LOL

 

[Strenuus]

TRADE CJ!!!

I've never seen someone as happy as you are right now. lol.

 

[Strenuus]

Team going on an Anti-Defense strike because they want Stotts to play Layman (hasn't played in 5 straight games)

that'd be great.

 

[riverman]

Our starts have a theme these days

 

[ripcityboy]

Team is beginning to check out. What did I say the other day? They won't make it till the 2020 offseason. Any potential they had together was reached long ago. Pretty soon it will get to the locker room. I don't care how many hugs Terry has or how steadying an influence Dame is. How can it not?!

This shit is so unnatural to watch EVERY DAY I feel like Im watching an episode of the Outer Limits.
