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

[KingSpeed]

Well we're fighting our hard. In last 7 games, our only 3 losses came down to the last shot. We'll be fine. Can't win em all.

 

[Cippy91]

not creating a divide, but a time will come where we have to trade one and I just wonder who that would be. I dont want to trade either, but the defense blows.

No we really don't need to trade one. I'm sick of that narrative. Look at the team. It's cj, dame and a bunch of bench players. No quality starters. Get them some quality starters and watch what happens regardless of their combined bad defense as a back court

 

[DUB]

What an annoying game. This one is on the players, for not being mentally switched on at the start of the game.

 

[Nikolokolus]

We fucking suck so bad. Why do the basketball gods hate us?

Ask Neil Olshey

 

[EGame]

this is one of the most unbalanced teams I have ever seen. Only have two offensive players that know how to score and the defense of basically everyone blows. How does Olshey have a job?

 

[e_blazer]

I am so fricking tired of this team's lazy-assed starts to games. Lillard's inability to fight through a screen. Shit!

 

[illmatic99]

4 for 20 while getting lit up. Dude needs to get back to the gym

 

[LuckyShot]

Hard to point to one specific player on this one. They definitely shit the bed.

That horrendous start doomed us. Then a ton of stupid errors along the way. Shitty coaching. Shitty effort the entire first half. We just don't deserve to win.

 

[KingSpeed]

You guys. It was just a 4 point loss to one of the hottest teams in the league. Did you really think we'd win 100% of our remaining games? Let's get OKC on Sunday.

 

[Rhal]

This is all you need to know about this game
Dallas 17 of 31 from 3 54%
Blazers 9 of 30 29%
a 24 point difference on about the same amount of shots. You will lose almost every game where this happens. I wish I could say it was an anomaly and Yogi doing that is but the overall 3p stats is something we have seen multiple times from the Blazers this year. We have gone from one of the best teams at defending the 3 to one of the worst and it shows in the record, with teams taking more and more 3's our ability to defend them has gone down.

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers have now lost to one of the worst teams in the league.....twice....at home. Back out of the #8 spot.

And we will lose to them again next week

 

[EGame]

No we really don't need to trade one. I'm sick of that narrative. Look at the team. It's cj, dame and a bunch of bench players. No quality starters. Get them some quality starters and watch what happens regardless of their combined bad defense as a back court

and how do we get quality starters with those two said players and the rest being borderline ok or overpaid scrubs?

 

[Chris Craig]

Stotts needs to be God Dammned fired

 

[SlyPokerDog]

At least we won FREE McDONALD'S SAUSAGE PANCAKE THINGS!

Turner and Plumlee are quality starters,

way to take the high road!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

A coaching change may be in order, Stotts system leaves people way too open and forces us to switch too much. I'm tired of that.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Damn, Dame psyched himself out with stopping his dribble to early.

I thought it looked like he tried to draw a foul instead of concentrating on making the shot; but maybe he just realized he wasn't going to make the shot so needed to try to get fouled.

 

[KingSpeed]

Great game by Aminu

 

[Chris Craig]

Damian Lillard and CJ MCCollum got beat out by Yogi Ferrel and Seth Cury...sad

 

[Trackjack]

Our biggest problem is we play team defense in spurts.

 

[Chris Craig]

Great game by Aminu

He played for shit...needs to be traded

 

[KingSpeed]

He played for shit...needs to be traded

Are you serious? He was 4/8 three. And those were with a lot of pressure on him.

 

[KingSpeed]

Aminu had 8 boards too. Been playing great off the bench.

 

[Rhal]

He played for shit...needs to be traded

He really has become a big offensive liability on the court where teams are daring him to shoot and he still refuses to a lot of the time.

 

[Rhal]

Are you serious? He was 4/8 three. And those were with a lot of pressure on him.

He passed up quiet a few open shots that ended up turning into very contested 2's or turnovers.

 

[TBpup]

Well we're fighting our hard. In last 7 games, our only 3 losses came down to the last shot. We'll be fine. Can't win em all.

True but we beat the Celtics because Leonard scored 17 points.....he hasn't scored 17 points total since. We beat Memphis because Aminu hit two '3's for the first time in almost a month. The Cavs win was a great win but we've won some close games and lost some close games. Sadly, this loss was to a bad team without their starting PG.

He is a shit coach all the way around. Doesn't know when to take a time out. Pulls guys out when they are getting hot and destroys any momentum, leaves scrubs in to long, doesn't bring back in starters soon enough...etc...he is a Shitty coach

 

[riverman]

Shoutout to Wes...he played like he was home
