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

[KingSpeed]

Will Paul George take his all star spot?

Andre Drummond if they want a big man. Chris Paul otherwise. Houston deserves 2 All Stars.

 

[BonesJones]

If Cousins is out New Orleans will come begging for Meyers.

They dont have much cap relief to give us though. Maybe Ajinca and Pondexter?

 

[Scalma]

Btw I’ve noticed Allen has been present at recent road games. I think there’s definitely some evaluation going on.

I wasn’t serious.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Seriously, it doesn't matter. I shouldn't care. But..... Biebs +/-:

In 3 min tonight: -6.
Previous game in 3 minutes: -10

He's -16 in 6 minutes combined in the last 2 games. I dunno if that's a record, but if it is, he's sharing it with Layman and Vonleh.

Freakin' Ay.

Paul Allen is always evaluating.

 

[Scalma]

Sick pic of Terry.

Paul Allen is always evaluating.

I don’t remember him at this many road games, like ever.

 

[Darkwebs]

Turns out Dame was sick tonight. That's why he came out so flat. Felt like he was going to throw up, he said.

I appreciated Harkless effort with 5 points in 17 minutes because Turner was out for "personal" reasons. When was the last time we saw the Blazers hold a lead an entire second half? I wish we had the Mavs on the schedule more often. I'll bet their fans complain more than we do.

 

[illmatic99]

No wonder. He was moving around so gingerly

 

[Jade Falcon]

It really speaks to just how finely tuned and honed to perfection a professional athlete like Dame's body is; that something as simple as bad chicken can effect his entire game.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Dame sure look great in the 2nd half. CJ looked great throughout. When they are both on not much you can do to stop them. Collins is getting better every day. If he is hitting from deep it makes such a difference for this team, combined with everything else he does. And neither was the MVP......that goes to big ED

 

[BonesJones]

I wasn’t serious.

I know you weren't serious about them begging, but they need shooting ad Davis could help mask Meyers defensive issues. Could be a possibility.

 

[BBert]

I hope we hit Mejra so he doesn't get called a flopper... he just gets called someone who got his ass kicked.

Not just a flopper. Also dirty Adonal Foyle.

Wouldn't have happened if he stayed vegan haha

 

[Jade Falcon]

Wouldn't have happened if he stayed vegan haha

LMAO, I just realized the irony of that! Well spotted.

Sick pic of Terry.

"250 wins, Meyers. You were useful in exactly this many of them."

 

[Mediocre Man]

If Cousins is out New Orleans will come begging for Meyers.

Did they lose a bet?

 

[julius]

I don’t remember him at this many road games, like ever.

I think during the 90-92 seasons, he went on the road a lot more.

 

[julius]

Sick pic of Terry.

Caption time!

"The exit is that way, you overpaid cry baby!"

"The bathroom is over there"

"just leave."

"That fan you challenged to a game of horse is right there. Beating them won't prove you're a good NBA player though"

I forget exactly what it was but Nolan Smith had something like a -15 in 4 minutes for the Blazers. It was brutal!

 

[handiman]

Wait, when did that change back?

 

[BBert]

Are we still complaining about Nurk?

Only when he's missing bunnies around the rim.

 

[BBert]

I love the way Zach plays! He is not soft at all!

Zach looks like he has a bit of a mean streak. And he does not lack confidence. Smart player, too.

 

[BBert]

jeez....the spurs are down 20 to philly right now

Philly is good. Spurs are garbage.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

To put it in perspective, -16 in 6 minutes = -128 per 48.

So, it's like being OUTSCORED by 128 per game, wow!

 

[Driew]

Wait, when did that change back?

A couple of weeks ago. He's still mainly vegan but has added beef and chicken because he was losing too much weight.

2.5 minutes -18

Thanks...I knew it was some horrible stretch.
