Game Thread GAME# 53: BLAZERS @ MAVERICKS - FEBRUARY 7, 2017 - TUESDAY, 5:30 PM (PST), CSNNW

[LuckyShot]

Pat was jumping when CJ hit that shot.

Pat is only on the team for his cheerleading abilities.

Pat...

Cheerleader...

Patty Mills...


Son of a bitch...

 

[Nate]

Double pistol fingers. Classic.

 

[ripcityboy]

Pat still gets laid. He still gets a seat on the plane. Who the hell wants to play for the fucking Orioles?!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I liked that Mc Collum wasn't that excited after making that shot, just acted like that's what he expected from himself.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Screw the lottery. Playoffs here we come!!

 

[Strenuus]

Screw the lottery. Playoffs here we come!!

Oh, you mean the 4 game sweep? Or maybe 4-1? MAYBE 4-2? That playoffs?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

It's a win, but it doesn't really breed any confidence.

Reach-around harder!

 

[Haakzilla]

...what a thrilling finish! Could this be the turning point?

 

[Strenuus]

...what a thrilling finish! Could this be the turning point?

If we win the next 5, yes.

If not, no.

I'm leaning towards no.

 

[Gronk Brady]

Screw the lottery. Playoffs here we come!!

Screw any hope of building a legit contender in the next five years.... let's lower the value of our draft pick, stand pat at the trade deadline, and make the 8 seed to get swept by the Warriors!

 

[chzbrgr]

If this is the turning point there will be another turn and we'll end up in the same place as we started which is shitty and overpaid. Christ sakes we're still paying 10 mil a year for a DNP-CD almost every night.

 

[JDC]

I liked that Mc Collum wasn't that excited after making that shot, just acted like that's what he expected from himself.

After he went off on the Pelicans in the 1st quarter of the home opener 2 years ago, he said you probably wouldn't see that kind of emotion from him much in the future. He wasn't kidding.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I don't want a winning streak. If there is there's a good chance they will talk about standing pat at the trade deadline.

 

[JDC]

The more the Blazers win, the more of a chance they stand pat.

I'll argue that it's exactly the opposite, especially with regards to trading draft picks. No one knows for sure though, obviously.

 

[Rhal]

Dame and him had similar stats tonight. Don't know why fans like you wanna constantly compare the two. Shits annoying

We'v always got to shit on our best player when the teams down and sucking.

 

[KingSpeed]

lol... let them get back in - finally got a win in the clutch.

So rare these days. So, 3 games with Dallas - all 3 were bad and we barely won 1... eww.

Win is a win though. Now show some fucking consistency.

We've beaten Dallas twice. Twice in Dallas.

 

[KingSpeed]

If we win the next 5, yes.

If not, no.

I'm leaning towards no.

Turning point was game in Philly. Starting with that game, we've fought hard and been competitive in every game.

 

[riverman]

Good road win tonight....missed most of it but looked like a thriller! Go good guys!

 

[KingSpeed]

Back to back 13-0 runs, 9 lead changes in final four minutes, Dirk clutch, CJ for the win.

Really needed to get a road win and build some momentum...sucks about ET though

 

[KingSpeed]

CJ/Dame: 61
Curry/Yogi: 16

 

[Dougnsalem]

Thanks @KingSpeed for not being with those 5 IDIOTS that were in the background of the courtside post game. 30 some year olds acting like fools....

 

[HailBlazers]

To answer the poll question, after this game no but before yes, great win! Payback is a bitch.

 

[THE HCP]

What did I miss?

 

[THE HCP]

Dame is sitting right next to me reading this thread FAMS!!!!

 

[THE HCP]

What? No questions for Mr. Dolla'?

 

[Scalma]

I don't want a winning streak. If there is there's a good chance they will talk about standing pat at the trade deadline.

Why's that? Any trade they make now should be with the future in mind. Playing for this season is extremely short sighted, and I doubt it was ever the plan.

 

[Dougnsalem]

What? No questions for Mr. Dolla'?

Ask him if he knows your favorite team is the L*kers....

Lol, yeah, losing to a bad team was a "turning point".
