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

[PHXBlazer1]

Dame can’t buy a call

 

[bobf]

Pros: Dame, Trent, Ariza, and Melo

Cons: literally everything else

Melos the biggest con on the team. At least everyone knows that the other players suck. Melo sucks and people think he’s good.

 

[B-Roy]

This lineup competes and that’s all you can ask for. A lot of the guys on this team do not even compete.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Dude Dame is 30 lol

No he’s not

 

[Cugel]

Ariza at least brought it.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Dame can’t do it all by himself

 

[AldoTrapani]

Look at Doncic.. literally gets to the lane and it’s over. He picks you apart

We need a team full of dogs, all Lillard mentalities.

 

[TBpup]

Refs aren't all against the Blazers. Portland has benefitted from 3 goaltending calls they missed....all in the Blazers favor.

 

[calvin natt]

Who did they lose please tell me that’s significant lmao ??

they gave up
Dennis Smith jr
Deandre Jordan
Wes Matthews
Two 1st Round picks

you said for nothing. That’s not nothing. LMAO

 

[Tince]

I can't believe the horrible coach who is giving up 52.8% from three tonight... fire him!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Look at Doncic.. literally gets to the lane and it’s over. He picks you apart

Look at Dame. He does too.

 

[AldoTrapani]

IIRC it was DSJ (looking like a bust), two firsts (gonna be late), and DeAndre Jordan+Wes Matthews.

Dallas won that deal easily.

Again, like I said “got Porzingas for NOTHING”

poster said they didn’t lose nothing lol damn near did

 

[AldoTrapani]

Look at Dame. He does too.

oh stop. Doncic is legendary

 

[PHXBlazer1]

The West All Star starters lineup is nasty

 

[KSF-ERIC]

they gave up
Dennis Smith jr
Deandre Jordan
Wes Matthews

They got Porzingis and Hardaway for that trash.

I think the refs have been fair all night, letting them play for sure though.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

No they weren't, and there wasn't anyone noticeable that we missed out on trading for this summer.

What teams were drooling over Simons?

we’re you two living under a rock. It was reported by multiple outlets that teams were inquiring about him. And we flat out told them he’s not available.

“A Trail Blazers executive said the team did not make Simons available in potential trades this summer, RealGM reports. "There was a reason we told teams to stop asking about him in trades," the executive said. "You want to see second-year guys dominate here (Summer League) and he did that. He's been one of the best players here. The kid just works."

 

[AldoTrapani]

Look at Dame. He does too.

And dame is a great player but he’s nothing legendary like Doncic

 

[GhostOfPGA]

The West All Star starters lineup is nasty

Need to get rid of conferences, the east will never get its shit together.

 

[Wade Garrett]

Watching Lillard this year is like watching the penguin out maneuver a group of sharks.
He'll swim his heart out and last as long as he can but eventually, we know how it's gonna end.

Ayo ain’t no point explaining it to ppl. Homers lives matter

Dame is pretty immortal man... ask the Rockets and Thunder lol

 

[B-Roy]

Dame is giving me shades of 05-06 kobe

 

[OneSport3]

You're right, Luka normally has a hard time being effective, it's just Portland and their horrible roster that are having trouble defending him.

This post is ridiculous. If you don’t think that switching Whiteside and Swanigan out on Doncic is an ineffective strategy, then you are just commenting just to be contradictory. And if that is the case, please ignore my posts and I’ll ignore yours.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow Curry is so nice

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Lillard with 45

It’s basically like dodgeball in gym class where all your teammates got hit and you’re out there 1v8 dodging for your life and nailing motherfuckers from 40 feet lol

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man losing Curry was underratedly a VERY BIG DEAL

 

[illmatic99]

get off my team whiteside
