GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ MAVERICKS - MARCH 7TH, 2014, FRIDAY, 5:30 PM (PST), CSNNW

[KingSpeed]

What was last team to come back from 30 down? Hasn't happened in awhile. Stat geeks? Anyone?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Only down 18... not even close to being over...

Dallas's game is ripe for collapse.

 

[Strenuus]

Oooh, he just scored in the paint! Wow! Maybe he can score another 2-4 points off of high percentage shots before the game is over.

Your expectations are too high, sir.

 

[RoyToy]

What's more troubling is why is he "wearing down" when he plays 18' from the hoop?

When he's rested he plays a complete game

He starts to fade out to 18ft when he's tired/wears out

Problem is he seems to wear out half-way through the season

 

[Strenuus]

I think it's happened this year... it seems to happen once or twice a year.

At least we have Robinson. Who, while sometimes bone-headed, at least isn't contact-averse.

He should be WELL rested after taking a couple weeks off.

 

[Strenuus]

Well, at least we didn't set a franchise record low for a half.

 

[Strenuus]

... now 2-4 from the line... wtf is up with LA?

 

[RoyToy]

I think he's still battling the groin

 

[KingSpeed]

WhAts up with that camera angle?

 

[blue9]

... now 2-4 from the line... wtf is up with LA?

He is SHOOK. I thought he partially got over his mental weakness this season.

 

[KingSpeed]

I think it's happened this year... it seems to happen once or twice a year.

I don't think so.

 

[Strenuus]

OH BATUM!!!

 

[Hobbesarable]

I think he's still battling the groin

Then the coach should get him out of there ASAP.

 

[LuckyShot]

SAW THAT BLOCK COMING YEAH!

 

[Darkwebs]

Batum!! When's the last time he had a chase-down block?

 

[RoyToy]

Nic throws the worst fucking passes

 

[blue9]

Well shit. As enjoyable as it's been, I've got to go to band practice...
Win or lose, whatever. Doesn't matter. But ALWAYS "Go Blazers".

 

[Strenuus]

*sigh* batum.... from great block to dumbass inbounds.

 

[LuckyShot]

Was that Aldridge playing shitty defense on the fast break? Ball, then man, asshole! Stop the ball FIRST!

 

[RoyToy]

Then the coach should get him out of there ASAP.

They've been limiting his minutes for a reason I suppose....

Limiting minutes doesn't mean fully healthy to me.

 

[blue32]

how the fuck does Jose fucking calderon have 19 pts already, WTF is going on.

 

[Strenuus]

Well fuck. down 19. Ugh. If Calderon wasn't in, it'd be tied. lol.

 

[blue9]

Was that Aldridge playing shitty defense on the fast break? Ball, then man, asshole! Stop the ball FIRST!

I didn't leave soon enough...
Worst help-defender in the NBA.

It looks to me like LMA hasn't been moving well. Is he still hurt? Did we bring him back to soon?

 

[Strenuus]

Well, lets start a fight... weren't we down 20+ when that happened in GS?

 

[LuckyShot]

how the fuck does Jose fucking calderon have 19 pts already, WTF is going on.

Opposing point guards who can read a pick and roll and stick an open jumper absolutely feast on us. It's because we give them so much space and when they get in a groove, we don't switch anything up to throw them out of it. We just keep letting them go off.

 

[RoyToy]

It looks to me like LMA hasn't been moving well. Is he still hurt? Did we bring him back to soon?

Hard to tell

We know they've been limiting his minutes lately

That to me says they're being cautious about something

 

[blue32]

I do not know, but if this is going to continue to happen he needs to sit and rest. I'd rather have someone healthy play than him injured. It does us no good whatsoever.
