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

[LuckyShot]

Getting lit up by a D leaguer named Yogi. Ridiculous.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I'm assuming your joking.

Are YOU?

He's ONE guy. ONE guy does not make an entire team shit.

Unless you're Meyers Leonard.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Nice swat by Harkless!

He's ONE guy. ONE guy does not make an entire team shit.

Unless you're Meyers Leonard.

One guy giving shitty effort on defense can absolutely fuck over your team defense. Especially if that one guy is your emotional leader.

 

[illmatic99]

Pathetic

 

[KeepOnRollin]

CJ is heating up.

 

[julius]

Did Matthews play this hard with the Blazers?

Yes.

 

[KingSpeed]

Good finish to the quarter

 

[Rhal]

I just turned the game on. Dallas is the worst offense in the NBA at 97.4 points a game and we just let them put 35 on us in the first.

 

[julius]

I wonder if that played a part in neither of them making the all star game.

 

[BBert]

Our defense is baaaaad

 

[BigGameDamian]

Looks like tanking to me.

 

[Rhal]

ah they went 7 of 10 from 3, that explains a little bit but teams seem to shoot the 3 on us better then vs any other team. We lead the league last year by almost 2% more then the next team in uncontested 3% and i know we were doing worse this year.

 

[Jade Falcon]

One guy giving shitty effort on defense can absolutely fuck over your team defense. Especially if that one guy is your emotional leader.

So we should ignore how shitty the rest of the team is because one guy is shitty on Defense?

Is that your logic here?

 

[KingSpeed]

They've been playing much better lately. Dirk doesn't score much but they've been great since he came back.

 

[ripcityboy]

Honestly, does the world NEED another Resident Evil?

Maybe start with the guy who is the leader.

 

[KingSpeed]

It's the last, I believe.

Can't wait for the game!

 

[JDC]

Dallas is a totally different team then they were early in the season...would have liked to come out with some more effort but they are a hot team playing their A game right now.

 

[BBert]

No defender within 3 feet of the 3 point shooters. Looked like warmups.

 

[Rhal]

So good D for 22 seconds and a breakdown leads to an open 3. SEems about right.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Maybe start with the guy who is the leader.

If you think Dame is the biggest problem with this team, then I don't know what to tell you. He averages 35 points against the Mavs.

Give me a break here man.

 

[ripcityboy]

It's the last, I believe.

Thank God. Paul WS Anderson needs to do something else with his career.

 

[Rhal]

If you think Dame is the biggest problem with this team, then I don't know what to tell you. He averages 35 points against the Mavs.

Give me a break here man.

Dame isn't even the biggest problem with the D

 

[ripcityboy]

Dirk.... Greatest European player ever.... just don't ask Kareem.

 

[julius]

the Mavs are playing like they're the San Antonio Spurs. The Blazers are playing like the 10 win Mavs from years ago.

 

[Chris Craig]

Somebody needs to be fired

 

[BlazerBeav]

Can we cede the three point lune any better than we have thus far? Astounding!
