Game Thread GAME# 33: MAVERICKS @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 23, 2018 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM, NBCSNW

No love from Wes after the game, huh?

What an asshole. Fuck off back to Dallas, you no tendon turd.

CJ killed Wes in that matchup. My favorite sequence was Wes trying to post CJ up and shot an airball and Cl goes down and hits a 3.

On the other end.... Barnes absolutely dominated Aminu.

As for our favorite whipping boy......one of Leonard's best games ever. Good example of why Meyers should not be just a 3 pt shooter. Much more effective around the rim .

 

[Scalma]

Tonight showed what you can accomplish as long as you share the ball. Shot 29% from outside, 41% overall, yet they still managed to put up 120. Yes yes.

 

[Chris Craig]

If Trey Young is anything but a superstar, the Hawks will never hear the end of ti.

That GM should be fired...just for that

 

[Labinot41]

Boy what a Game.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

That GM should be fired...just for that

I love Doncics game, but the talent around Doncic is so much better than Young. One team is actually trying to win too. I think it's a little premature to say.

Should have gotten a job here. He could sign half a roster full of junk and nobody would care.

 

[Chris Craig]

I dis not watch the game. Is it worth it to watch the replay on League pass?

Yes

"The Other Side" thread will be updated soon. I'm busy stuffing my face with celebratory cookies.

 

[HailBlazers]

Fire Stotts. Never should have made it to overtime.

 

[Strenuus]

Okay, and @TorturedBlazerFan , you ended up beating me by one point.

The deciding factor? ONE steal. You beat me by ONE steal. That's how close our matchup was. GG.

He was as surprised as you were

FG% was crazy close too. GG glad the Blazers pulled it out for me!

3 way tie with the two LA teams for HCA at XMas. I'll take it I guess. We need a freaking move.

 

[Titan]

The Hawks are fucking stupid

You could also say Suns too.

 

[Scalma]

Everyone keeps talking about the hawks passing on Doncic but the Suns fucked up too. Doncic should’ve went first, period. Ayton is so bad defensively he’s almost a net zero as a player.

 

[HailBlazers]

He was as surprised as you were

Well he shouldn't be surprised for leaving the bench in too long allowing Dallas to eliminate our lead.

 

[Chris Craig]

Stotts in that post game interview couldn't pronounce Doncic's name.

"Is it Donkic or Donchic?"

True story

Sac took Bagley over Luka. Let's not forget about that

It is 2018, and GMs still think good centers are more valuable then good wings. When will they learn?

"Is it Donkic or Donchic?"

I remember how Dirk Nowitski's name was either Novitsky, or No-wits-sky. Same with Vlade Divacs, it was either "Dee-vots" or "Dee-voch". Or how Nic Batum for a while was "Nicolas" and then also "Nicola"

 

[KingSpeed]

Hell yeah! Great win and a good game. Enjoyed this one. First OT win of the season

Hell yes!

 

[KingSpeed]

Is it Donchick or Donchich?

 

[julius]

One takeaway from this game is the fact that DeAndre Jordan is now shooting 70% from the free throw line.

that's nothing....Hubie Brown kept pronouncing Terry Porter as Kevin Porter for about 5 years

 

[Bruno_Sabino]

Huge win. Very important

 

[Labinot41]

@SlyPokerDog I have been assigned to say "Hello" from Rozay who got banned here, he told me on twitter

 

[Bruno_Sabino]

We gotta play better than this to beat the Jazz

If I remember correctly, he was used more around the rim his first year here.
