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

You mean Atlanta helped Dallas.

Same shit. Dallas had the vision to pull it off

 

[oldmangrouch]

the thought just came to me that maybe this team thinks they are better than they are; so they think they don't have to work as hard as other teams?

That would be some white house level arrogance right there!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

If we get it to within single digits before the end I will now count that as success.

SO CLOSE

 

[Strenuus]

Same shit. Dallas had the vision to pull it off

lol.

 

[Rozay]

Why not trade Dame and Cj for a bunch of picks and start fresh at this point

 

[PCmor7]

I don't think this team is better than they think they are. I think opposing teams have figured us out.

You need another shooter out there with Dame and CJ and Nurk. You can't play Harkless and Aminu together right now. Might actually be worth considering starting Stauskas because there will be open shots to be had if you have someone who at least is a THREAT to knock them down.

 

[PCmor7]

Boy, that was a bad call.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

even the Mavs announcers say Aminu D looked good there.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Holy shit with that call. Atrocious.

Nah we just suck and don't care. Dallas is trash /s

Not that a completely disagree but they would never trade a first team nba guy and face of the franchise while there was no ownership in place. Dame sells a lot of merch.

 

[BlazerBeav]

What a finish by Dame!

Good thing Layman is out of the rotation.

 

[Strenuus]

Only way we can come back. It's both good and so sad.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Another horrible call! WTF.

 

[Cippy91]

Barea is one of those players I hate because of the constant bullshit flopping

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Well, single digits was fun while it lasted

 

[PCmor7]

Good thing Layman is out of the rotation.

I mentioned that earlier, that our problems seemed to coincide with him going from starting to not playing at all. I don't get that.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Every time I play pickup there's a guy that looks like Barea. He's LIVING THE DREAM!

 

[Strenuus]

Barea looks like he just came back from a bender and snorted a line of coke.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Well, single digits was fun while it lasted

OH ME OF LITTLE FAITH

 

[Rastapopoulos]

OH ME OF LITTLE FAITH

Spoke too soon

 

[JDC]

A guy you love to have on your team, but hate playing against.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

At least Dame's superstar reputation showed up (in the Refs' minds)

 

[PCmor7]

And another made 3 by a 20 percent 3-point shooter. We've seen a lot of those in the last two weeks.

 

[Strenuus]

We only have 4 other guys on the court for the Blazers cause it's mandated.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Oh fuck off, Dwight Powell

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Oh fuck off, Dwight Powell

And take Kleber with you

 

[Strenuus]

Fucking ET you moron.

 

[illmatic99]

Evan Turnover can get the fuck out
