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

[Fez Hammersticks]

22 pts in 22 minutes for Yogi

Oo

 

[TBpup]

oh yeah, we are a fine pile of dung

Exactly . Fine is NOT being down 24 in the first half to a sorry Mavs team missing one of their best players. Last time we lost to them w/o Dirk. A lot to be said for 'heart'.

 

[KingSpeed]

Well they didn't get to 62

Our defense was awesome in the last 6 minutes of the half.

 

[Rhal]

So were down by 15. Its not a race to take that lead to 0, we need to work to get some nice shots and stop going under screens constantly and giving them open 3's. If we do that and get the lead to around 7 by the end of the third we have a good shot.

 

[BBert]

If this Ferrel guy gets another contract, he should give Dame a percentage.

 

[Chris Craig]

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

I'll praise them when we get the lead

 

[Jade Falcon]

Getting beat by a team who's coach looks like a bald Jim Carrey.

 

[riverman]

We have to bring the smack down soon....hope Wes gets tired of making shots

 

[Rhal]

don't like shooting free throws would be my guess

We can't buy a foul to save our lives in most games so I just don't assume we will shoot FT's.

 

[ripcityboy]

Well. If you guys ARE hard up for a good BB game. The Duck play the Wildcats tomorrow.... just sayin!

 

[Blazinaway]

If this Ferrel guy gets another contract, he should give Dame a percentage.

maybe Dame is his agent?

 

[Chris Craig]

If this Ferrel guy gets another contract, he should give Dame a percentage.

Maybe we should trade for him

We're on a 19-8 run. All that matters is who leads at the end of the game. When ever anyone talks about Game 4 vs Dallas in 2011, no one ever talks about the fact that we couldn't make a shot in the third quarter and trailed by 23. They talk about how awesome Roy was.

 

[BigGameDamian]

WELL, ANYONE SEE ANY GOOD MOVIES LATELY?

We're only down 13

 

[illmatic99]

Dame needs to get a reality check

 

[KingSpeed]

WELL, ANYONE SEE ANY GOOD MOVIES LATELY?

No.

 

[Rhal]

The mavs are playing us perfectly, if we go under a screen or get caught by a screen they just make us switch again and inevitably one of our players gets lost and they will get an open shot. This D seems like its almost to complicated and easy for offenses to take advantage of.

 

[KingSpeed]

Actually, BGD, "Lion" was pretty good.

 

[Rhal]

We're only down 13

even better

 

[riverman]

I watched those Jason Williams clips with Garnett on youtube today..the Pistol Pete footage was amazing.

 

[ripcityboy]

WELL, ANYONE SEE ANY GOOD MOVIES LATELY?

I saw Rogue One. Guy next to me kicked me for snoring.

 

[KingSpeed]

No one talking about our awesome defense in the last 6 minutes. People only focus on the negative. When we blew out Charlotte, it was a ghost town here.

 

[Blazinaway]

Actually, BGD, "Lion" was pretty good.

LION was over rated IMO, I like Hidden Figures a lot more

 

[ripcityboy]

LION was over rated IMO, I like Hidden Figures a lot more

Shit. Really? I really wanted to see that.

 

[BBert]

We're only down 13

That's striking range.

Gotta stop giving up WIDE open threes.

 

[JDC]

Yogi is a super quick pg who was shooting 29% from 3 coming into this game and often being given a screen by Barnes, Matthews or one of the best shooters in NBA history...it's pick your poison. And those of you saying no adjustments are being made...we've switched, trapped, dropped and have gone under. He's just happening to have the game of his life right now.

 

[Trackjack]

The defense side of the ball there no effort majority of the time especially our guards. It like there going slow motion and there know excuse for it at all.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Just got home from the Seafood and Wine fest. Feeling no pain. Yes, we took Max.

So what did I miss?

 

[BigGameDamian]

No.

I'm still waiting to see Patriots Day and I hear good and bad about Gold. Does Mark Wahlberg take his shirt off in the movie? What a hunk!
