Game Thread GAME# 51: MAVERICKS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 3, 2017 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), KGW & ESPN

[BlazerBeav]

Stotts late with the timeout AGAIN.

 

[julius]

Is this a replay?

 

[ripcityboy]

Why is Stotts always Carlisle's bitch?

 

[RonBrewer]

Can anyone explain our offense to me? TIA

 

[julius]

I could be responding to craigslist personal instead of watching this crap.

 

[RonBrewer]

Dame might be the worst defender in the league

 

[LuckyShot]

Extremely weak call. But Dame's not an all star so....

 

[B-Roy]

Here is what Stotts is saying to his team:

"It's okay guys, stick with it, we're making them take the shots we want them to take. They'll stop falling eventually."

Then after the Mavs shoot 60% for the game:

"We made them take contested jumpers, they just made them. Can't do anything about that."

 

[ripcityboy]

Just killing it with this effort on stopping those 3s.

 

[LuckyShot]

Stotts late with the timeout AGAIN.

Seriously about 4 possessions too late.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Can anyone explain our offense to me? TIA

"Here, you take it!"

"No, you take it!"

 

[julius]

This team can't handle consistency.

 

[LuckyShot]

Team simply isn't ready to play in a game we NEED yet again. These bums just don't care even as much as we do.

 

[B-Roy]

It's actually comical how much the rest of the team has to compensate for Lillard's defensive "effort". Wonder if he's injured or he's just given up. He was at least noticeably trying harder at the beginning of the season.

He can't really think they're taking shots we want them to take, can he? Maybe they are shots from the areas we want, but they aren't the type of shots we want.

 

[BlazerBeav]

I hate this team. What a joke.

 

[Chris Craig]

Did Matthews play this hard with the Blazers?

 

[blue32]

Yikes a dumpster fire of a game so far.

 

[ripcityboy]

Any team that consistently plays physical or locks down Dame.... Well, it becomes a long day.

Whoa there. This is NOT Dame's fault. He has more than carried this team on his back dozens of times before. It's time for the rest of this team to start carrying him for a change.

It's time for them to start carrying their own goddamn weight.

 

[RonBrewer]

We don't need two short shooting guards. Trade the more streaky one. What can we get for Dame?

 

[Chris Craig]

Allright bring out Connaughton and Meyers

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Did Matthews play this hard with the Blazers?

Former Blazers always seem to "get up" for games against us.

 

[B-Roy]

Lillard has to learn that until he starts playing a lick of defense he's not going to get the recognition he wants.

 

[Blazinaway]

wow, what a horrible start, when Dame and CJ are off we are helpless

 

[blue32]

Yogi? Lmao ..... dame wake up

 

[ripcityboy]

This team is a collection of spare parts....

 

[LuckyShot]

I'm assuming your joking.

 

[julius]

Glad that the team has decided to take the last home game lost against Dallas as motivation.

Wait, wrong team took that game as motivation.

 

[BBert]

They better not get 62 again the first the half and be up 24 at the break....hell no

Yeah. About that....
