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

[LuckyShot]

Dame never touched him...

 

[riverman]

We haven't lost this game.

We are digging a hole....but maybe it's a rope a dope

 

[Rhal]

They keep getting open looks doing the same thing everytime that led to Wes getting that open 3.

 

[B-Roy]

Didn't even touch him LOL

 

[Blazinaway]

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

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

"Berra"?

 

[KingSpeed]

10-1 run

 

[Rhal]

We can easily win this if we can get it to close to 10 by halftime. CAn't have to big of a lead that it becomes a giant mountain to overcome.

 

[HailBlazers]

Sieve

 

[TBpup]

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!

This does not bode well for the Suite game.....

 

[KingSpeed]

We got this

 

[santeesioux]

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.

If they can luck into about the 10th pick they could probably package the Cleveland pick and move up a couple of spots. Who are we kidding though, they're totally getting the 8th seed spot of mediocrity.

However we can get talent. Few teams have less opportunities to get better than we do. We don't get premium talent.... we go dumpster diving in FA. Trades are few and far beteen.

 

[B-Roy]

Yogi Ferrel better thank his lucky starts he got to face Damian Lillard on his 10 day contract.

 

[Blazinaway]

no shit

"You can observe a lot by just watching" a Berra uote

 

[TBpup]

Yogi Ferrell with a career high in the first half.

Where mediocre players go to have career nights.....the Blazer _efense.

 

[riverman]

I always feel better if we keep them under 60 at half

We are most likely going to be the worst team in the playoffs so the 12 pick and the 15th arent' that big of a difference

Got damn he's lighting dame up lol

 

[Blazinaway]

yep, a moral victory

 

[KingSpeed]

You guys, we're fine.

 

[Chris Craig]

Yogi nobody has 22? Dame needs to fucking play defense...

I'd still take my chances.

 

[Rhal]

When we can't score from the 3 our offense because so stagnant and the ball movement just stops and its easy to see why because our team stops wanting to shoot the 3 so teams just pack the paint and we will inevitably dribble in and take a bad contested 2.

 

[Blazinaway]

You guys, we're fine.

oh yeah, we are a fine pile of dung

 

[BBert]

Maybe someone should guard that Ferril guy. Just a thought.

 

[KingSpeed]

Great finish to both quarters. 19-8 run to close the half.

 

[Chris Craig]

Well they didn't get to 62

 

[Rhal]

I'd still take my chances.

Well thats where you and I differ, I would rather see us get trounced in the playoffs then be at the end of the lottery.

don't like shooting free throws would be my guess

If you're gonna criticize the team when they play badly, then you should praise them when they play well.
