Game thread: Blazers vs. Mavericks

[MAS RipCity]

We had our chances tonight on many occasions, this L is on us

 

[KingSpeed]

I thought everyone played well except for the two starting rookies.

 

[KingSpeed]

Damn, I wish Rudy hit that.

 

[The Professional Fan]

You know, it's much more stressful being in a playoff race. Not used to it anymore, to be honest. It's heart wrenching. But has ANY conference ever been this tight, 1-9? Man....every.....game... counts.

3 FT's for RUDY!!!

 

[MARIS61]

Nate turns to the Spanish Armada to save his hide.

 

[maxiep]

So you'd like us to go 65-17?

I would, but let's not pretend that tonight wasn't a winnable game with some effort.

 

[Rodolfo]

Damn, I wish Rudy hit that.

I wish they would have made a lot a shots they missed

 

[illmatic99]

Miss the third one.

 

[Nate4Prez]

FG% .487 3% .667


How do you lose a game when you shoot that well?



Defense (or lack of it)

 

[BrianFromWA]

Intentionally miss the third?

 

[MAS RipCity]

Rudy chokes

 

[BrianFromWA]

guh

 

[KingSpeed]

Damn.

We're fine guys.

4th Place.

 

[illmatic99]

Rudy, you just choked.

 

[The Professional Fan]

I'm truly sick of being pulled back in to this game. lol

 

[MAS RipCity]

I think the off the ball foul is a stupid rule as long as it is not blatent.

 

[maxiep]

Damn.

We're fine guys.

4th Place.

Thanks. We get that, Eric. We're talking about our lack of effort tonight, not where we stand overall.

 

[KingSpeed]

Dirk can choke this

 

[KingSpeed]

Thanks. We get that, Eric. We're talking about our lack of effort tonight, not where we stand overall.

I saw the effort tonight. These guys want to win. It just didn't happen. You simply can't win all of them.

 

[MAS RipCity]

Where was this effort the whole game?

 

[The Professional Fan]

Hey, the Blazers showed no quit, and I love that.

OKC better get up for the game on Friday.

 

[DUB]

We almost pulled that one out.

 

[maxiep]

I saw the effort tonight. These guys want to win. It just didn't happen.

Well, then you saw something that most of us didn't. Eric Snow hit the nail on the head.

 

[BrianFromWA]

One thing is for sure: I love how Alonzo brings it wardrobe-wise...

 

[Nikolokolus]

Well, then you saw something that most of us didn't. Eric Snow hit the nail on the head.

What did Eric Snow have to say?

 

[BrianFromWA]

we needed some "G"--heart, hustle and soul in the game tonight.

 

[KingSpeed]

Let's bounce back and beat the Thunder. 2-1 road trip and then we get the Knicks at our place and a bunch of other easier games over the coming weeks.

 

[MAS RipCity]

We won every quarter but the 2nd where we got ran out of the gym, dunno why but that has always been a Blazer trait since I have been watching (90)

 

[julius]

Well there goes the playoffs.

 

[MAS RipCity]

It is so painfully obvious that we need a Lee/Wallace type player..Bayless can only do so much as a rook
