Game Thread GAME# 46: MAVERICKS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 23, 2020 - THURSDAY, 7:30 PM, TNT

Is that the first stop we've had this half?

 

[bobf]

Play the Archangel.

 

[Tince]

He’s 20 years old and this is his first full season playing meaningful minutes. Everyone knew he was a raw talent that needs time to develop.

What did you expect from him???

This is a fair perspective. We overrate our young guys (as fans) in general, but Olshey was over the top about Ant this year, so that's probably why people had higher expectations.

 

[Scalma]

Ariza better in one game than Bazemore in however many he fucking played.

 

[B-Roy]

Lillard is something else. Good lord.

 

[AldoTrapani]

He’s 20 years old and this is his first full season playing meaningful minutes. Everyone knew he was a raw talent that needs time to develop.

What did you expect from him???

If the organization is going to anoint him as the next big one here then I expect more than the trash he’s been playing all year. Except that first 2 weeks of the season lol

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Lillard can keep you in a game and finish one but he’s gotta get some help here.

 

[James lamphear]

Dame shooting good but he had 5 bad turnovers though.

 

[TBpup]

Nice 11-0 run.....to get them within 14. That is a little bit depressing.

 

[DDolla]

Dame not gonna quit maybe another push here

 

[BlayZa]

im ok with Ariza, all is forgiven.

we're also very possibly going to score 100pts+

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Alright...


RELEASE THE NATURAL

 

[Wade Garrett]

Ariza better in one game than Bazemore in however many he fucking played.

I'm thinking he's the upgrade over Aminu, eventually.

 

[B-Roy]

I'm thinking he's the upgrade over Aminu, eventually.

He's 34 and declining. You can maybe get one more year of production out of him realistically before he's not playable anymore.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I think Simons should go to the G-league for awhile and try to find his shot again.

 

[bobf]

Wow Doncic is fucking sick. Give me this type of player one day. This is the type of legendary player that you need to win in this league

Doncic is once per 30 years or so.

 

[wizenheimer]

He’s 20 years old and this is his first full season playing meaningful minutes. Everyone knew he was a raw talent that needs time to develop.

except for the GM that spent all summer hyping the hell out of him and not adding a backup PG

 

[James lamphear]

I can't wait when we have Arizas Nurk Collins front line.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

I'm thinking he's the upgrade over Aminu, eventually.

Aminu is a 4 though (modern nba wise)

Ariza is basically what we wanted from Hark... a threat from 3

 

[tlongII]

We might be the worst defensive team I’ve ever seen.

 

[OneSport3]

If the organization is going to anoint him as the next big one here then I expect more than the trash he’s been playing all year. Except that first 2 weeks of the season lol

That’s not on him, that’s on all the talk and hype that leaked from Neil Olshey this past summer.

 

[Darkwebs]

Dame needs 60 again if we're gonna win this

 

[Darkwebs]

Dame is the Rodney Dangerfield of the NBA. He gets no respect

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man look how Doncic plays he gets to the lane so easy then literally just picks ppl apart

 

[bobf]

I'm thinking he's the upgrade over Aminu, eventually.

Ariza? No, not close.

 

[rotary111]

ARRRRIIIIIIZZZZAAAAA!

 

[GhostOfPGA]

I kinda wanna keep Melo next season, he’s gotta have some love for us since we gave him a chance at a rebirth.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Doncic is not fair man

 

[GhostOfPGA]

I don’t think Swanigan post and fade was a drawn up play guys lol

 

[Scalma]

I don’t think Swanigan post and fade was a drawn up play guys lol

Same shit as last time he was here. He thinks he’s a lot better than he actually is. But it’s not his fault he’s out there.
