GAME THREAD: Round 1, Game 2 - Blazers @ Mavericks, 4.19.11, 6:30 PM

[Sheldon Shape]

GREAT timeout by Nate. He's really earning his extension here.

 

[HailBlazers]

Looks like its gonna have to be Blazers in 7

 

[KingSpeed]

Mavericks won 57 games this year. They're better. We're a good team. Just not good enough. This series will probably go 7, but we'll lose.

 

[Natebishop3]

This sums it up.

Okay, that's great and everything, but everyone knows that Peja is streaky. If he's obviously dialed in, why the hell don't they adjust their scheme and stop leaving him open? The guy was on fire tonight. Wouldn't it be prudent to stop leaving Peja after he's hit his second or third three pointer?

 

[PapaG]

Roy only played five minutes.

Matthews played like crap again. 1 reb, 0 assists in 35 minutes.

SG is a concern.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

HAVE SOME FUCKING PRIDE PORTLAND. FOR FUCKS SAKE.

Apparently, it's all reserved for the Timbers now. Blazers have mailed it in. I wouldn't be surprised at a sweep now.

 

[KingSpeed]

Well I'm gonna keep it off then. Maybe I'm just terrible luck!

TIE GAME

It's official. You ARE Mixum. Well played, sir!

You know why. Because Nate is a terrible coach! Don't back down now, Mr. Negative!

Not with the way we're playing. We look beaten. We're not even trying. This is not a playoff team.

They actually did. After he hit that last 3, they stayed on him and Dirk then killed us.

 

[illmatic99]

So what adjustment did Nate make after game 1 exactly? Mavs made the same FGs they did on Saturday.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Dallas came out swinging in these two games.

Ugh, the onslaught of excuses spewing from MB and Rice is so typical. Just shut up MB!

We have the same problem as we had the last few playoff appearances: We need a legit third option to get out of the first round!

 

[TripTango]

I'm going to go throw down some Glenlivet, get some lovin from my lady, and call it a night. See y'all Thursday -- I don't think I can take tomorrow's pity party, so best of luck to everyone who sticks it out in here...

 

[KingSpeed]

Roy only played five minutes.

Matthews played like crap again. 1 pt, 0 assists in 35 minutes.

SG is a concern.

Matthews scored 13. Why are you using a game thread to bash our players, hypocrite?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

this isn't fucking fair. FUCK. WE NEED OUT OF THIS FIRST ROUND. FUCKING PISSED.

 

[Natebishop3]

You know why. Because Nate is a terrible coach! Don't back down now, Mr. Negative!

Haha, you're right, I'm the one dark spot in this otherwise sunny and upbeat thread. Okay

 

[Blazinaway]

damn we were pathetic in the 4th, every offensive try a huge struggle and Dallas has no problems - unreal and depressing

 

[chris_in_pdx]

this isn't fucking fair. FUCK. WE NEED OUT OF THIS FIRST ROUND. FUCKING PISSED.

Welcome to the last 35 years of my life, give or take an abberration or two.

 

[HailBlazers]

At this point we need a first option!!

And a Center. Camby has been highly disappointing, what's up with letting JJ take it to the rack?!?

 

[Natebishop3]

They actually did. After he hit that last 3, they stayed on him and Dirk then killed us.

Peja hit 5 threes tonight, two of them at pivotal moments, so apparently they didn't change up the scheme quick enough.

We need a legit first and second option too, lol

There is no destination for Blazer fans, only a horrendous car wreck on the way to the bus station.

There is no destination for anyone in sport, because it never ends.

Even if you win the championship, so what? Other teams have more championships that you.

Even if you have more championships than any other team, so what? In the future other teams may overtake you.

Sport never ends. There are no ultimate winners. Enjoy the moment.

 

[julius]

well, at least Dallas got their 3rd win with Danny Crawford reffing.

Btw, was it really 2 and 16 in the PLAYOFFS?

Because that's a LOT of playoff games for 1 ref to ref, of the same team.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

whisky, weed or tequila?

i might bust out this bottle of cheap spanish champagne (cava).

 

[HailBlazers]

this isn't fucking fair. FUCK. WE NEED OUT OF THIS FIRST ROUND. FUCKING PISSED.

CHILL. We own the Mavs at home, And if we don't, then you can flip.

 

[Mediocre Man]

C'mon everyone, repeat after me


2 MORE YEARS!! 2 MORE YEARS!! 2 MORE YEARS!!

Enjoy what moment? 34 years ago?

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

That sucked ass!

Who are your first two?
