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

[Cippy91]

Dame went out. Here we go

 

[LuckyShot]

C'mon Crabbe... you have to hit that.

 

[DUB]

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.

I think Dallas knows this, but they're just being loyal to Dirk. I think the Knicks are delusional.

 

[Darkwebs]

Crap. No Blazers have scored since Dame's hot streak. It's been bricks and turnovers since

 

[Natebishop3]

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.

I don't think billups was on those teams. They had Andre miller and they had iverson. Billups didn't come in until later. He was also on the team with van exel a million years ago.

 

[LuckyShot]

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.

Label him whatever position you want, he's supposedly a creator. All he's created are turnovers and stalls the offense thus far.

 

[Cippy91]

Meyers Leonard really does think he's a shooting guard.

 

[KingSpeed]

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.

Which is why our second unit should be Napier/cj/Crabb/Vonleh or Meyers/Davis

No place for Turner. Esp with Layman chomping at the bit.

 

[BigGameDamian]

The Blazers might be winning but we're lucky the Mavs aren't hitting there shots.

 

[LuckyShot]

Fucking Oompa Loompa kills us every time. And you can't guard him because the refs protect him like he's an All Star.

 

[Tunchi]

Cj signed that contract perfect timing

 

[Tunchi]

Told ya win or lose we still suck

 

[Natebishop3]

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!

I did watch the game. And CJ was just as bad, if not worse, but he doesn't turn the ball over. He just takes horrible shots. At least turner is trying to run the offense.

 

[LuckyShot]

Seriously, why do the refs protect Barea so much? Is it because they want to see a guy their height and build succeed?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Fucking joke!

 

[Tunchi]

So we give up a 13-0 run and another 15 plus run lol

 

[Cippy91]

Lol. What the fuck is wrong with this team

 

[KingSpeed]

every. Single. Game. Turner comes in and we choke away our lead. every single game

 

[KingSpeed]

So we give up a 13-0 run and another 15 plus run lol

Turner

 

[EGame]

not a playoff team, sadly

 

[Cippy91]

How in the fuck do you have a 16 point lead and that shit gets trimmed to 3 in a quarter!?!?!

 

[H.C.]

I don't think billups was on those teams. They had Andre miller and they had iverson. Billups didn't come in until later. He was also on the team with van exel a million years ago.

08-09 Nuggets made it to the WCF with Billups leading that time in-spite of Melo.
lost 4-2 to the lakers after a 2-1 lead I believe.
Would have to look the last part up though.

 

[B-Roy]

Turner's fit on this team is literally so bad. He's useless without the ball.

 

[KingSpeed]

I did watch the game. And CJ was just as bad, if not worse, but he doesn't turn the ball over. He just takes horrible shots. At least turner is trying to run the offense.

Okay.

 

[LuckyShot]

How in the fuck do you have a 16 point lead and that shit gets trimmed to 3 in a quarter!?!?!

In like 3-4 minutes. Turner came in and Dame went out.

 

[Tunchi]

every. Single. Game. Turner comes in and we choke away our lead. every single game

Dude our defense is trash

 

[KingSpeed]

Turner's fit on this team is literally so bad. He's useless without the ball.

Exactly. Bench him and look to trade him. Anyone with eyes can see it's not working.

 

[illmatic99]

So we are Dame and a bunch of overpaid scrubs.

 

[Cippy91]

Dame has to score 30 a night for us to even have a chance and I'm sorry but Evan turner is a liability to this team and probably is the worse signing of the last 5 years. 70 mil for bad shots and about 4 turnovers a game

 

[Five Second Violation]

Lillard needs to play 48 minutes a game, sadly.
