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

[riverman]

Imagine if Portland was dead last defensively this year, like they were last year at this time.

why would anyone want to do that?

 

[Strenuus]

LOL that double team.

 

[Cippy91]

Well this is embarrassing

 

[illmatic99]

Dame coming crashing down to earth in a hurry. So much for that hot streak

 

[BlazerBeav]

A not unexpected letdown to this point. This team is so damn frustrating.

 

[BrianFromWA]

dude, I walk away for 5 minutes to put the girl to bed... WTH?

 

[Strenuus]

Dame coming crashing down to earth in a hurry. So much for that hot streak

.... it's one quarter. Like literally, 12 minutes.

 

[BonesJones]

He let LMA do it 12x a game at 41%/ 0.82 ppp

But LMA would get doubles. Nurk is wide open.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Dame coming crashing down to earth in a hurry. So much for that hot streak

He's 0-4, man.

 

[illmatic99]

Let CJ take every shot

 

[BlazerBeav]

A bunch of scrubs and a washed up Nowitzki. This cannot continue.

In his defense, Matthews is playing very good defense against him.

I miss Matthews.

 

[DUB]

1/4 Time
Us - 17
Them - 25

3PM/A (%)
Us - 1/6 (16.7%)
Them - 3/5 (60%)

Turnovers
Us - 4
Them - 1

 

[illmatic99]

He's 0-4, man.

Let's hope he makes his next 4. His misses don't look good. Not getting the same elevation or arc he did earlier this week. Looks a bit lethargic-- like he caught Nurk Fever or something

 

[Strenuus]

He's 0-4, man.

You hear about all those quarters Lebron had that were bad? So much for any of his hot streaks.

 

[Jade Falcon]

1/4 Time
Us - 17
Them - 25

3PM/A (%)
Us - 1/6 (16.7%)
Them - 3/5 (60%)

Turnovers
Us - 4
Them - 1

There you go. That's pretty much the problem too.

 

[riverman]

Lotta game left....cold start...8 pt lead after 1 is manageable

 

[illmatic99]

Ed!

Got up quick

 

[Strenuus]

Let's hope he makes his next 4.

I'll settle for 2-4, because I have realistic expectations.

 

[Labinot41]

Ed fucking Davis i love you

 

[DUB]

7 players have scored for the Mavs, only 3 have scored for us.

11 points from CJ is the only thing keeping us in it.

Dame is 0/4 FGM/A and has 2 turnovers.

 

[Labinot41]

Benny adams hates the Blazers that Bitch

 

[Strenuus]

LOL Zach. dont make it so obvious.

 

[riverman]

ED!!!!

 

[BlazerBeav]

They are calling nothing, but anything with Collins nearly.

 

[Strenuus]

Davis did a lot of work there.

 

[Strenuus]

Chili P with the dribble 3.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Ed is awesome.

On another note, it's hard for me to see the all-time greats when they're old get abused like Dirk just did. Or Jordan in WAS. Or Iverson in DET/MEM. Not K*be, though. enjoyed going out as a 40% shooter.

 

[Darkwebs]

Moe blows

 

[kingslayer]

Damn Hark still at the bottom of that cliff
