Blazers Uprise Postgame Show
Mavs 132, Blazers 117
Blazers get trounced at home and fall to 13-20 on the season. Come discuss the game with us.
 
It's a bad time to be a basketball fan right now. The product is going to be inconsistent and I think most of us want change to our roster now but with the uncertainty in the league a lot of front offices including possibly our own might be waiting to see how COVID impacts the season before making moves closer to the deadline.

What is sad is the Mavs were missing about as many....and their best player. We had Dame....and still got pummeled at home.

Come on. The Blazers were SHORThanded. They had absolutely nothing to throw at Porzingis and Powell.

They have been SHORThanded all season. It hasn't had much to do with their effort either way.
 
The refusal to blow it up is gonna set the team back even further. Hopefully my kids get to experience another finals in their lives

Yeah, we're a team in desperate need of change. I think the players know that too and so we're not seeing their best on top of having a terribly constructed roster. I'm just happy that Dame is moving well again, that his three point percentage is coming back up to where it needs to be and that he's getting to the free throw line and making them. Regardless of what a roster around Dame looks like we need him to be doing those things.
 
Let’s just stick to tonight’s game. There have been multiple reasons the rest of the season has gone so poorly, but tonight the Blazers just didn’t have the size to match up with the Mavs.
 
We are so lost felt like Dame was forcing shots and so many turnovers. We so desperately need a trade but at same time I would love a high draft pick.

Then a trade for Simmons but he sits out the rest of the year. Then come back next season with a high Lottery pick, whatever pieces they got from trades, + Dame/Ben.
 
This feels as bad as the Khryapa/Monia era.

Even at full health this team blows :pokecrap:

Fuck you Neil Olshey!
 
I’ll keep saying it, Powell should be out the door with CJ. He doesn’t fit next to Dame either. Not good enough defensively.

What type of players do you think we could get in return for them?

No impact on the game though.

I'll take "one of the only bright spots and kept us in it in the first half and thats how he made an impact, because not one player including Dame made an impact in the 2nd half, so why are we being negative on a guy who is growing right before our eyes as a very helpful piece to our future?" For $100, Alec.
 
I knew we were cooked when Dame's 1st seven passes to wideeee open 3pt shot teammates were bricks. The only chance they had with no real size, was to shoot lights out. One the bright side, Nas had a very nice game.

Somebody please tell that kid to clean up. He's on television for Chrissake.

I will say this about Elleby. Kid gives it his all. He plays decent defense, and is really good on the boards. It's that damn shot of his. If he can some how develop a decent outside shot, he will become a nice player. Who cares about his hair. I'm 57, it doesn't bother me. After my service time i was a long hair for almost 2 decades. It's a form of expression. If he develops a shot he can look like a damn Sasquatch for all i care.
 
Love Dame and want him to finish a Blazer but I think we are going to regret not trading him this year or next. The haul we can still get for him young player and 2-3 1st would set this franchise up for next 10 years
 
Dame should NOT play anytime soon if you ask me. Down 25, he’s out there last night lands on his back and winces REALLY bad. Put a stamp on this one. I will admit I was wrong about my 41 win prediction. I’m always way too optimistic with my predictions.

Yeah if he's in pain that would probably be wise but I don't think he's going to let the team shut him down if he's able to be as effective as he's been since getting the cortisone shot. He'll just let it get worse until March when he'll get another shot. It may be the wise thing to shut Dame down and just have him rehab or if there is a surgery to fix this shit once and for all get that done but if it's the same surgery as the one for that tendon being torn the recovery time is only 4-8 weeks which would have him back by some time in early March or even in February. We could all say not to rush it and get Dame to take the rest of the season to get his body and game on point but Dame isn't Kawhi, they aren't wired the same and I just don't see him taking any time off that he doesn't absolutely have to.

Let us know how that talk goes with you and Dame!

But for real I'm in the same boat at this point.

Don't feel bad. The main thing is that you'll be wrong again, keeping the streak intact.

lol...c'mon

let's see Dame for Simmons, a 28th pick, a 26th pick, and a swap that doesn't happens would set the franchise up for 10 years?

people are delusional believing Portland is going to get some historic haul for trading a 31 year old 6'2 guard with a potentially chronic injury having his worst season as a pro while being on a super-max contract. It ain't gonna happen
