Denver won tonight. Jokic with a triple double.

WELL, ANYONE SEE ANY GOOD MOVIES LATELY?

No, but I did reserve To Sir With Love recently. Haven't seen that in like 30+ years.

 

[BBert]

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

So what did I miss?

Nothing.

Game's starting in a few minutes. We decided to spot the Mavs 13 points, just to make it interesting.

Great movie.

Wow, Stotts must really like how our defense is looking to do something like that.

 

[BBert]

Blazers going to win this game.

It's go time!

actually, I saw Resident Evil the final chapter (or whatever the hell it is called) and A Dogs Purpose.

A Dogs Purpose was better, but it was cheesy.

 

[BBert]

Blazers pretended to play epically shit three point line defense. Clearly a ploy to lull the Mavs into overconfidence. After we blitz them in the second half, they'll be warming up the bus before they know what hit them.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Mason Plumlee is now 1 of 6 NBA players with 400+ rebounds and 200+ assists this year (Antetokounmpo, Cousins, Durant, Harden, Westbrook).

 

[Rhal]

Dame pushed in the back a little on that 3 and no call. Thats a usual call.

 

[DUB]

Actually, BGD, "Lion" was pretty good.

Dev Patel nailed the Australian accent. Only the second actor to ever successfully pull of a fake Aussie accent. Kate Winslet in The Dressmaker is the other.

 

[KingSpeed]

23-8 run

 

[Rhal]

i'm fine with that guy taking that shot, let yogi take those the rest of the game.

 

[julius]

How come the Trail Blazers don't ever have their scrub players go off on other team?

 

[KingSpeed]

We are killing the Mavs in the paint

Leonard went off on the Celtics in Boston.

because its usually a scrub that there is no scouting report on. We had Fraizer do it a few times last year.

 

[KingSpeed]

Aminu went off for 30 vs Clips in playoffs.

 

[ripcityboy]

Man. Plumlee may have his limitations but he's a damn warrior.

 

[julius]

Dame pushed in the back a little on that 3 and no call. Thats a usual call.

For whatever reason, he goes through stretches where he doesn't get calls like that. Arguably, he might be the least "fouled" superstar there is.

 

[KingSpeed]

Crabbe has gone off for 30

 

[DUB]

When Stotts first came to the Trail Blazers, he usually made his adjustments at half time, not before then. This seemed to make to harder for the opposition to adjust in response. I hope we'll see adjustments in the second half that will help us win the game.

Reminds me a lot of D Rose before his knee injuries.

As they should be. Absolutely no shot-blocking or interior defense anywhere. @dviss1 @BonesJones and I could score on these guys in the paint.

a

How come the Trail Blazers don't ever have their scrub players go off on other team?

or the players that are paid 10-18 mil

 

[riverman]

Wes used to miss layups before

 

[KingSpeed]

30-13 Blazers run

 

[KingSpeed]

Turner!!!

 

[TBpup]

Crabbe has gone off for 30

$70M contract versus a guy on a 10-day deal. Not exactly apples-to-apples.
