Game thread: Blazers vs. Mavericks

The "Secret of Greg" isn't that tough...pass him the ball where he can score sometime.

I wish we could get Oden back in there too; I wish he would come w/some fi-ya

That would change every thing. Though just a solid effort from Joel would probably work as well.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

shit we need this win, Denver just beat the Thunder by 1

 

[maxiep]

OKC lost to DEN with a bucket with 5.3 seconds left. We need tonight's game to keep pace.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I really want to see Roy and JB attacking the rim and Greg cleaning up any misses.

 

[MARIS61]

Rebounding is getting us back in it.

 

[Rodolfo]

Goddamn kid was SOOO wide open there.

 

[MAS RipCity]

game over

 

[illmatic99]

Why double Dirk?

 

[maxiep]

Out of the timeout, Kidd hits a three and we turn the ball over. A nice 5-0 run and we're down 10 again. That's the story of the night.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Well that's not good.

 

[MAS RipCity]

we had this one but they just wouldn't miss and they outhustled us, sad really

 

[Rodolfo]

"Travis needs to get more excited"

 

[illmatic99]

Jason Kidd should not be able to out hustle any of our guys. Do we even want it?

 

[MARIS61]

Goddamn kid was SOOO wide open there.

Bayless????

 

[MAS RipCity]

I am just amazed at the amount of difficult shots Dallas is dropping, unreal

 

[MARIS61]

Mav Guards killing Bayless/Roy.

This is embarrassing.

 

[illmatic99]

LOL. They're toying with us.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Oh, damn.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I'll bring back the fadeaway discussion.

 

[maxiep]

You can't play uphill all night on the road. Yet we try it every single game. When are we going to play with some urgency out of the blocks?

 

[MAS RipCity]

Still in 4th place, but I would have really preferred a closer game, this one was never in doubt

 

[maxiep]

we had this one but they just wouldn't miss and they outhustled us, sad really

When did we "have this one"? We've been outplayed badly all night long.

 

[illmatic99]

Out of a Carlisle timeout, Dallas went on a 7-0 run. I wonder how we will respond.

 

[blue32]

cries himself to the tequila and ice cream

 

[MAS RipCity]

It all starts on D, the switching of the screens has to stop or we will never do anything big. It really cripples our defense

 

[KingSpeed]

Take heart. Even if we lose, we stay in 4th place.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I'll just say that our "big" lineup, with Travis at the 3 and Joel at the 5, sucks. There. I said it.

 

[MAS RipCity]

damnitt Blazers quit toying with me!!!!

 

[BrianFromWA]

No fadeaway, and his 2nd straight and-one when LMA takes it to the rim. Maybe I'm on to something here.
