Game Thread GAME# 72: MAVERICKS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 23, 2016 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM (PDT), KGW

[Chris Craig]

Halftime lead...I like it

 

[illmatic99]

Ugh that attempt

 

[B-Roy]

Dame definitely got fouled, but you gotta stop playing for the foul.

 

[blue9]

Aminu is the only player playing good defense on Dirk

Meh. He's played a couple possessions of good defense, but overall he's a net negative. He's showing on the screens WAY too early, and doesn't recover very well.
Vonleh would probably have provided more than Aminu. Aminu's only score was a bail-out goal tend on a typical out-of-control garbage shot that had no chance of going in.

He hasn't been getting that call since the GS explosion. Need to adjust and stop forcing it

 

[B-Roy]

He's been complaining and expecting calls. Sometimes he doesn't run back when he feels like he should have gotten a call. His defensive intensity drops when he doesn't get calls. He needs to stop taking pointers from Harden and just play.

It is just good to have the lead after a somewhat meh half from our starting backcourt. Ed has held us together.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Is Carlisle really Carlisle, or is he a bald Jim Carry?

 

[Pinwheel1]

I don't like the look of this game. We might be up right now but Dallas has way more intensity. They are in playoff mode and we are not. Davis and Dame came to play, but we need more. The whole Dallas team came to play. They are going to force this game into a brawl. Henderson needs to step up.

 

[Darkwebs]

Ed is playing like a man possessed by Wilt Chamberlain.

 

[theprunetang]

Also, he might make some mistakes, but Harkless is one of those guys that plays a lot better as a starter for whatever reason. I like him in the starting lineup. I think Stotts is on to something with this new lineup.

 

[riverman]

Good first half...guys stepped up. Not even Lillard time yet

Hopefully, he keeps this starting line up for the rest of the season.

 

[riverman]

Bench mob rocks the house tonight! Ed Davis is beasting!

 

[theprunetang]

Hopefully, he keeps this starting line up for the rest of the season.

I agree. Although you are just saying it so you can just copy and paste the game threads.

 

[Denny Crane]

Ed Davis was a steal.

 

[Darkwebs]

I agree. Although you are just saying it so you can just copy and paste the game threads.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Just got back from dinner, but I was watching the game at the bar. What a monster half from ED!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Wes is trying to prove something

 

[Jade Falcon]

Good start!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

What the fuck felton

 

[Sinobas]

Percentage is all that matters.

But even 33% is not all that great when they are wide open looks

 

[KingSpeed]

Aminu for THREE

 

[KingSpeed]

But even 33% is not all that great when they are wide open looks

He's shooting 35% on the season. Just admit you're wrong.

 

[illmatic99]

Dude Aminu! STOP SWITCHING. Even Terry looks frustrated at him

 

[Shaboid]

Mo is playing well tonight!

 

[Sinobas]

He's shooting 35% on the season. Just admit you're wrong.

I'm not talking about last season, I was talking about the prior game against the Mavs. He missed 8 wide open 3s.

 

[kjironman1]

I really like the way Harkness plays. I just wish he could hit an outside shot more consistently.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I like Plums knocking Marji (or whatever his name is) arm out of the way when he goes up for the layup.

 

[B-Roy]

I'd rather Plums nail Mejri in the Plums..... On accident of course.
