Game Thread GAME# 71: BLAZERS @ MAVERICKS - MARCH 20, 2016 - SUNDAY, 1:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

I'm sorry the 6th-9th seed teams in the west are a joke lol

No one cares what you think about it.

 

[Chris Craig]

We have the most strip clubs per capita in the US. Blazers just gotta make that the main selling point of the presentation. "There is a strip club within walking distance anywhere in the city".

Yeah, that'll bring big name free agents

The 6-9 teams are always a joke in both conference. An upset only happens once every few years if that and almost never in the 7/8th seed.

Your a joke

 

[Sinobas]

Nice how we are shooting 10% from the fT line

 

[Rhal]

I feel like Portland really outmatches this team, but the Mavs are just much sharper right now

I don't know if we even outmatch them. They have tons of vets and a good coach while our team is young and you can get into our heads much easir then the MAvs. Yes we have more talent but talent doesn't' always beat experience, especially in the NBA.

 

[ripcityboy]

How the hell was that allowed!!!

 

[Sinobas]

It seems the Blazers don't know how to deal with double teams. They don't find the open man, I don't kow why teams don't just trap us every time.

 

[Rhal]

Sure looked like Wes fouled the shit out of hendo.

 

[Rhal]

We look good for the first 3 or 4 passes on D but after that we seem to get lost.

 

[Strenuus]

Are we becoming a 3 or layup team like...


THE ROCKETS?!?! *pukes*

 

[Sinobas]

Come on, they have midget on the floor, a guy playing with one good leg, and slow Dirk and CV....and all we can do is launch contested 3s???

 

[Sinobas]

Fuck you Allen Crabbe

 

[Pinwheel1]

Wes 2-2
from deep. 0-3 posting up cj........

 

[Sinobas]

Why didn't GH post up Barea???

 

[Sinobas]

We should start playing Brian Roberts over Crabbe

 

[illmatic99]

Zone doesn't usually mess us up this much. Mavs have gone to it last two times and we've looked so confused

 

[Tunchi]

Lol I know

 

[ripcityboy]

Adjustments..... let's make some Adjustments, Terry.

Just look at how they are playing us, they know we don't have many guys who like to shoot mid range shots so they are collapsing into the paint when we drive to force a contested layup over 1 to 2 guys and they are switching to cover the lanes Dame/CJ/Hendo would pass out of very well. They are also cheating off of plumlee/davis every single time and neither is moving into a good position to get a pass instead they are moving into a good position to trty and get an offensive rebound. Also Wes looks finef or being on one leg.

Theyve given us at least 10 wide open corner threes. It's horrible defense-- we just can't make them pay because we're missing everything.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Because Barea has made a career of players trying to post him up and flopping effectively

yea that has a lot to do with it as well, gotta hit your shots and we haven't been for a couple of weeks now lo.

 

[VenomXL]

Someone make a fucking shot.

 

[Darkwebs]

Finally we cash in on another corner 3

 

[Tunchi]

I only have one request: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE

please…PLEASE!!…I MEAN PLEASE…do not force me to watch Dame get switched onto Dirk in the post over-and-over with the game on the line.

I’ve been pretty patient with this team, but somebody better fix that problem.

Thank you

I CALLED IT!!

 

[ripcityboy]

Di we have a single big who can take it hard to the basket? Vonleh does sometimes.

 

[Strenuus]

I CALLED IT!!

And no one cares that you did.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Crabbe 3-6 from 3....

 

[Rhal]

I CALLED IT!!

you called it because they'v been trying to do it all game pretty obviously and eventually it would happen. Doesn't take rocket science to figure that one out.
