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

[Rhal]

That's fair enough. But he is not the sole reason we are down by 19. This is on the whole team and Stotts.

And my argument is that, if anything, people should be THANKING Dame for what he has to put up with.

Personally, I can forgive his lack of Defense because he makes up for it with amazing Offense.

Apparently, that's not allowed here....

I don't think dame is a good defender but I think our Scheme makes him look a lot worse then he is. SAme way with Curry who isn't a good defender infact he is a bad one but GSW scheme hide that fact and make him look competent to good.

 

[KingSpeed]

Nobody on the team seems to be angry that they're getting their asses handed to them. Or that a player on a 10 day contract is outplaying Damian and CJ, combined.

Just going through the motions.

They're desire is simmering and will explode soon. Blazers gonna come back.

 

[riverman]

Why is Stotts always Carlisle's bitch?

couch casting?

 

[santeesioux]

There is zero reason for this team to win another game this season.

 

[BonesJones]

Lillard getting lit up by an undrafted rookie. Showing no pride in his defense. If there's one game that'll make you sour on Dame, its this game.

What a pathetic first half. And to think this team might've turned a corner. This is fucking weak.

 

[Blazinaway]

Yogi and Boo boo are killing us

LOL, My goodness, a guy named Yogi (not Berra) has FIVE 3's already, can our guards play a little D

 

[Rhal]

We are missing such easy shots. Its not even that the Mavs are being good defensively its more we can't hit shit.

 

[riverman]

I swear. Wes invents shit to get angry about when he plays us. How did we treat you bad other than not signing you?!

We broke him and he won the lottery....I think Wes is thrilled right now

 

[julius]

You know, I don't even care if the team makes a comeback. They didn't start this game with any sense of urgency, they deserve to lose and deserve to be embarrassed.

 

[LuckyShot]

Stotts, you fucking idiot. Ditch this stupid ass "scheme" on defense already.

 

[trailblazer18]

I love how Doris Burke keeps bringing up that we continue to go under the screen and aren't making any adjustments...Can the players, Stotts, or anyone else on the bench not see an adjustment needs to be made?

Its not on Dame for a lot of those shots, for as much as we switch you can't really just look at PG vs PG or SG vs SG because once the other team comes down we starts switching like its musical chairs.

 

[HailBlazers]

Remind me again how much Wes is getting paid vs. Crabbe

 

[ripcityboy]

There is zero reason for this team to win another game this season.

Dame will never accept mediocrity openly. Neither will most of the fans. You know Oregon sports fans ... always Rose Colored glasses.

 

[BonesJones]

Can't believe we lost to the Mavericks twice at home in 1 season.

 

[Five Second Violation]

Lillard should be benched tonght. He's been total shit.

 

[TBpup]

What an epic pile of flaming dog Pooh. That is all I have to say about the 1st half so far.

 

[riverman]

I think for the old core players this is like a home game...Wes, Nico...they know the court

 

[julius]

I think we miss read who the "FU tour" was directed at.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Why do I always miss games where we win by 20, but I manage to catch games where we lose by 20?

Fuck this shit!

 

[Boob-No-More]

Dame doing his best Dion Waiters impersonation - 1 for 9, trying for 1 for 30.

BNM

There are multiple ways to improve and we are't going to get a game changer in the draft this year unless we get ungodly lucky with ping pong balls so why root for it?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Wood.

shed.

 

[riverman]

What an epic pile of flaming dog Pooh. That is all I have to say about the 1st half so far.

Pretty much an accurate summary...TBpup drops the mike!!!!!

 

[RonBrewer]

Lillard should be benched tonght. He's been total shit.

Don't worry- he will take another 20 shots before the game ends

You're overreacting to less than half a game. I bet Dame outscores Yogi for the game.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

17 pts in 19 minutes for Yogi.

Oo

 

[ripcityboy]

This is a very deep draft. If we keep the picks and draft well.... who knows.

 

[KingSpeed]

Can't believe we lost to the Mavericks twice at home in 1 season.

We haven't lost this game.

 

[Rhal]

This is a very deep draft. If we keep the picks and draft well.... who knows.

Deep at the 12-14 position? Because I doubt we fall past that point. Were not talking a top 5 or even top 8 pick here were talking end of the lottery for this team.
