Game Thread GAME# 6: BLAZERS @ MAVERICKS - NOVEMBER 4, 2016 - FRIDAY, 5:30 (PDT), CSNNW

LILLARD is all bizness tonight!

 

[KingSpeed]

Lillard 4 3s in quarter? He's almost as good as Layman.

 

[Natebishop3]

Napier in instead of Turner.

Real fans don't hate a player on their favorite team for no good reason.

 

[KingSpeed]

AMINU

 

[BigGameDamian]

Layman's ass must be glued to the bench.

Quarter ain't over yet!

 

[DUB]

The Mavs announcers are in utter disbelief at Dame's range.

 

[KingSpeed]

I have a reason. When he's in the game, we play badly. Consistently. I watch all the games. I bet you don't.

 

[H.C.]

Off ball defense at the logo by Barnes against Lillard lol....

 

[Jade Falcon]

Know thy Name.

 

[LuckyShot]

Aminu and Plumlee... wow that was pitiful lol

 

[KingSpeed]

Did you see my post, Nate? Turner had 4 turnovers in the last game and 3 turnovers in his first 90 seconds tonight. When Turnover plays well and helps us win games, I'll cheer him with all my might.

 

[Natebishop3]

I was saying this to a coworker earlier today, but the Mavs and Knicks are practically the same team. They're both building around one player that is past the point where they can lead a team to a championship, but they keep adding old players like rose and deron Williams to try to extend their stars shelf life. Cuban should have blown this team up two years ago.

League pass is great. last 2 games havent been on even though i dropped $200 on this shit.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Great defense guys!

Are you serious? 5-9 shooting and 10 boards isn't enough to outweigh three turnovers? That's fucking absurd dude.

 

[LuckyShot]

So we figured out our 3rd quarter problems. We just needed Dame to launch 3s from up to 30 feet and make 4 of them in a row.

I'm sure it beats the terrible streams I get. Especially with my equally terrible connection.

Wow, that is a good comparison. And Porzingas is like Barnes, I guess. Young guy with upside. During FA.. I remember someone tweeted "The Knicks and Bulls are in an arms race to win the championship five years ago." Hilarious and true. When they're not playing us, though, I'll root for Knicks. They're where I live and I get free tix so why not?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Knicks are beating the Bulls in the 4th qtr. 98-91.

I agree with the Mavs because Dirk actually was clearly the leader of the Mav's for years now.
Melo though was never really the leader in Denver when they were successful. I'd argue that Billups was the leader and Melo was a cancer who was no better than JR Smith in terms of helping them win.

It is kind of sad that it takes basically his best game to slightly outweigh his fuck ups though... Outside of the turnovers, we have multiple other possessions where he dribbles away the clock and ends up getting the ball to someone like Plumlee on the perimeter where he can't do anything and we force up a shitty shot at the shot clock buzzer.

Did you watch the game? We were playing great. Then he comes in and we blow the whole lead and spot them one. But I'm done fighting with you. Go Blazers!

Damian Lillard is the first NBA player to score 27+ points in each of his team's first six games since Shaquille O'Neal in 1994 (ORL).

 

[SlyPokerDog]

4 players have scored 27+ points in first 6 games in the past 30 years - Jordan (1986/1988), Malone (1992), O'Neal (1994), Lillard (2016).

If only we had a winning record in those games though...

He isn't a point guard. He can handle the ball and make plays but he's not a point guard. It's not his fault that stotts is running the second unit with two guys that aren't point guards.

 

[Tunchi]

Yup I'm on the Turners trash bandwagon

 

[KingSpeed]

Have we scored since Turner came in? Nope. 7-0 run by Dallas.
