We're in better shape than we should be after that ridiculous shooting quarter by the Mavs.

 

[James lamphear]

The only is trying to play D is Arizas the rest of them are pathetic.

 

[TBpup]

Nice quarter from Ariza with 10 points.

Dame with 14 in the quarter....and he's the 2nd highest scoring guard.

 

[Chris Craig]

Now I remember why we traded Biggie

 

[Chris Craig]

Dallas can't keep shooting this well, even if all uncontested, can they?

They blew their wad

 

[H.C.]

Now I remember why we traded Biggie

Because he doesn't pick up sets defensively or offensively?
How loud does the coach have to yell Caleb. Before he actually doubles Luka at half court?

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Little and Gabriel>>>Biggie

 

[TBpup]

Good things Stotts' D is designed to take away the '3'.

 

[B-Roy]

Two players keep casually running towards the ball as if they are going to double but they aren't. They just don't even know who they're supposed to guard. What the fuck is this shit?

 

[bobf]

Ariza already clearly better than B and T combined. For what it’s worth.

 

[rotary111]

Biggie is playing with some fire now.

 

[bobf]

Sigh. Ants killing us.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

What did Little do to piss off Stotts?

 

[TBpup]

Blazers still shooting over 60%....and down by double-digts. Unbelievable!

 

[bobf]

Just wasn’t quite not Hezonja.

 

[Chris Craig]

This might as well count as a road game

 

[The Professional Fan]

Honestly, Biggie doesn't look nearly as bad as I thought he would

 

[bobf]

Ball hog Carmelo

 

[illmatic99]

Honestly, Biggie doesn't look nearly as bad as I thought he would

he has no idea where to be on either end

 

[B-Roy]

Locating shooters seems to be as difficult as multivariable calculus for these guys.

 

[Chris Craig]

All the mavs shoot are threes

 

[DDolla]

Trade Simons please

 

[James lamphear]

Last 2 offense down was terrible Mario and Simons.

 

[calvin natt]

When an nba team or player is on fire there is no defense for that. It’ll settle down. Brunson hitting threes with a hand in his face. Nothing you can do

 

[DDolla]

Ball hog Carmelo

Hahaha Stotts play when Dame sits is just give the ball to Melo

 

[The Professional Fan]

I love the Blazers with everything I have but I loathe this version of this team

 

[TBpup]

Mavs could be over 75 at halftime. And I thought our defense was going to get better.

 

[PCmor7]

We don't play as a team at all. We don't play as a team on offense or on defense. It's like we're coached to play five separate games of one-on-one, which might work if you had better individuals than the opponent and the opposing team chose to to work together, either.

 

[wizenheimer]

7 minutes left in the 1st half and the teams have combined for 21-35 on three's....wow

I wonder what the record is for combined three's in a game?...in a half?

 

[Chris Craig]

Put in Gabriel
