GAME THREAD: MAVERICKS @ BLAZERS - 12/7/13, SATURDAY, 7 PM (PST), KGW & NBATV

Has Lillard had a break yet?

Yup sat out about 3 mins in the first quarter

 

[Strenuus]

Nice. Lillard makes all 3.

 

[Natebishop3]

Marion STILL has one of the ugliest shots in the league.

 

[Natebishop3]

Fuck Asik. RoLo forever!

 

[Strenuus]

Lopez baby!!

 

[TBpup]

Fropez padding his rebounding stats....lol.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Are they really still calling Marion the Matrix?

 

[magnifier661]

Where's the foul?!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The drop off between Dame to Mo is so huge

Didn't they say that Mo was the leader for the NBA in assists and steals off the bench?

We could do worse.

 

[julius]

I'm amazed that after all these years, Shawn Marion's form on his shot still perplexes me.

 

[Darkwebs]

Lopez is awesome!

 

[magnifier661]

Lopez is awesome!

Asik who?

 

[LuckyShot]

LOL RoLo looks like a man amongst boys against those guys. One handed rebound then just plays keep away until he manages to get it in the basket.

 

[Strenuus]

I do like this Rip City commercial.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Fuck Asik. RoLo forever!

Gotta pad those O boards somehow. 4 for the game (6 total), 8 pts

 

[B-Roy]

Any big guys working on fundamentals need to pay attention to Robin Lopez. He keeps the ball UP when he gets an offensive rebound. I cringe when guys like TRob grab an offensive rebound but then bring it down where the guards can slap at it. If you keep your hands up, no one is going to strip that ball without fouling you.

 

[julius]

That Jerome Kersey commercial might be the best one they've done.

 

[Natebishop3]

Monta is crazy.... he's a tool, but he's extremely talented.

 

[Strenuus]

Trob smash.

 

[LuckyShot]

What a beautiful set play

 

[Darkwebs]

That play was filthy!!

 

[TBpup]

Fropez?...Larry Bird with that pass?

 

[B-Roy]

That was a nice play, never seen that before from the Blazers.

 

[Strenuus]

That Jerome Kersey commercial might be the best one they've done.

Agreed.

Doesn't hurt that he's a good 4 inches taller than Robinson, and probably has a higher standing reach than Robinson does too.
BUT what you say is true. It's similar to how Sabonis rebounded.

 

[LuckyShot]

Nice shift from TRob. 4 pts, 2 rebs, just 1 turnover.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

LOL RoLo looks like a man amongst boys against those guys. One handed rebound then just plays keep away until he manages to get it in the basket.

There was a picture of him in an article on Oregon Live with him and his brother (not Brooke) talking comics at the writer's house, and there's a picture in the article of Lopez walking through a standard door. It really puts in perspective how massive he is.

 

[Strenuus]

Ellis is money tonight. This is gonna be a tough game.

 

[Natebishop3]

It gets so old watching our team make guys like Monta look like superstars.

 

[Strenuus]

Wow Marion pushed LMA so clearly.
