Game Thread GAME# 42: MAVERICKS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 21, 2021 - SUNDAY, 7:00, NBCSNW

[VenomXL]

Smells like a blowout. Can’t shoot the three or play defense tonight.

 

[illmatic99]

this team is an embarrassment.

WTF did terry do at the half

 

[MadeFromDust]

CJ's just gonna keep shooting isn't he

 

[bobf]

Time to get hot

 

[illmatic99]

here comes rodney hood to save the day

 

[VenomXL]

Just gonna launch crappy threes now? It’s a wrap.

Good lord Luka. No chance tonight.

 

[bobf]

If he’s gonna make those there is no stopping them.

 

[illmatic99]

hey you fucking idiot, try something different. throw another defender at him

 

[DDolla]

It’s over

 

[julius]

Denver should be very happy with this shellacking.

 

[AldoTrapani]

So looks like Little isn’t what we thought he is

 

[B-Roy]

Fucked around for a quarter and this is what happens. Lol. Deserved

 

[KSF-ERIC]

We’ll win this game. MaVs peaking too early.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Dame needs to quit passing the ball. It's clear no one can make a shot right now and he needs to call his own number.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Live and die by three....thats our identity!

That’s every team’s identity.

 

[Hoopguru]

So looks like Little isn’t what we thought he is

Tweener

 

[julius]

it's like this team is allergic to taking advantage of teams around them losing. Swear to god, there is no sense of urgency with this team.

 

[illmatic99]

seriously, how do you come out of halftime this flat?

after the first possession with the WIDE OPEN kleber look, i woulda take a TO and reamed everyone out

 

[Chris Craig]

Stotts refuses to call timeouts

 

[Scalma]

That’s every team’s identity.

Other teams defend.

comes from our coach. he believes winning two in a row is an impossible task.

 

[Tince]

Luka is taking 3's that are just as contested as Dame. 6-6 vs 0-5.

Gotta tip your cap to Luke tonight. Such an advantage to be his size and have his skill set.

 

[Chris Craig]

after the first possession with the WIDE OPEN kleber look, i woulda take a TO and reamed everyone out

Yeah, but Terry is a fucking idiot

 

[Hoopguru]

That’s every team’s identity.

Yeah, seems that way.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Stotts should switch things up and put in Simons.

 

[Tince]

 

[James lamphear]

CJ's just gonna keep shooting isn't he

Yes

 

[PCmor7]

Defensively, we actually aren't playing all that badly. The Mavs made some adjustments from last game to better exploit mismatches, and it doesn't look like we were well-prepared for it.

Offensively, we just phoned this one in. Settling for too many jump shots, not hitting.

When you play a team like Dallas and they are on, you just have to keep pace and make some plays here and there. When they are on and you aren't making shots, well, games like this happen. Not entirely unexpected, but I feel bad because it would have been nice to overtake the Nuggets ... missed opportunity.

 

[Hoopguru]

Doncic is an amazing player for being so young, what is he 22 or something?

 

[illmatic99]

keep showing him single coverage. let's see if he can get to 60
