Game Thread GAME# 49: BLAZERS @ MAVERICKS - JANUARY 26, 2018 - FRIDAY, 5:30 PM (PST), NBCSNW

Pats been solid, so I could see Terry rewarding him, but I also know he doesn’t like messing with his rotations too much, especially when it’s clicking. I hope Harkless gets a good run, plays well, and we leave him in Dallas after the game.

Barnes is garbage...

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Evan Turner out for personal reason

Please let that mean he found out he's going to be traded.....

 

[LayneStaley]

Barnes is garbage...

What does that make anyone we start at SF?

 

[LayneStaley]

Barnes and Turner are both on the hook for 3 more years, giving up Bambi kinda sucks but I’m over worrying about when he’s gonna turnover the ball.

 

[dviss1]

Not one we should use in a trade for Barnes and his bloated contract. You wanna pay that muthafucka 23 Mil for his "production" and he doesn't play D...

We're gonna be hard pressed to get rid of Turner so just face that fact.

Yes, I would pay 5.5 mil more a year for Barnes than ET, and id throw in Bambi

 

[Strenuus]

I wonder if he whined to get thosr stats?

 

[Mr. Robot]

trash

 

[LayneStaley]

Because we are gonna throw in a 2019 protected first

 

[LayneStaley]

Which transitions to a 2020 Second if we somehow get a top 15 pick in 2019

I have it all planned out

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Must have. I mean, we all know that Paul George deserves to have the longest 20ppg streak.

Must have. I mean, we all know that Paul George deserves to have the longest 20ppg streak.

And he would have it, if only his PG would pass him the ball...

[Chris Craig]

Evan Turner out for personal reason

Cause he personally sucks

 

[Chris Craig]

Gonna be hard for Terry to beat his mentor Carlisle twice in a row. Especially in Dallas....

 

[LayneStaley]

Non mediocre teams roll over the Dallas Mavericks, so I expect it will be a close one.

 

[KingSpeed]

Oh joy, I guess that means we get another look at the Nurk/Aminu/Shabazz/C.J./Nurk starting line up. Why not, it worked so well last time Turner was out.

BNM

We're starting TWO Nurks?

 

[KingSpeed]

That's sad. No one else can score 20+ that often? Did Jordan ever score less than 20? I'm sure his streaks were longer than 8.

Giannis had a 28-game streak broken earlier this month. He's been under 20 just once in like 12 weeks.

 

[riverman]

And please tell me why Dallas does that.

Yes, because sometimes one Nurk just isn't enough!

BNM

 

[LayneStaley]

I don’t think starting 2 soft centers is a good idea.

 

[andalusian]

We're starting TWO Nurks?

One Nurk to rule them all, one Nurk to find them,One Nurk to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Not sure what his longest streak was, but I remember at the start of his third season, he scored 20+ the first 20 games of the season (including nine straight games of 40+ points), was held to 11 points and then immediately went on another streak of 41 consecutive 20+ point games. That was followed by a more modest streak of 18 games, before being held to 17 points in the season finally. For the season, he ended up scoring 20+ in 79 of 82 games.

Well, you know how Terry tends to let other coaches dictate the match ups...

DAL starts Dirk at center and Maxi Kleber at PF. So, maybe Terry counters with two big softies of our own.

Man, I'd really love to finally see the Nurk/Collins/Aminu front court tonight with Turner out. With DAL also starting a rookie at PF, this would be the perfect opportunity to start Collins.

I remember with Jordan how if you held him under 30, you did a good job defensively. 26, 27 points was considered a bad game for him. Crazy, right?
