GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ MAVERICKS - 1/18/2014, SATURDAY, 5:30 PM (PST), KGW

Here's hoping your DVR fails you, lol

 

Sinobas: Damn man, you are pissed! LOL. They did play like shit, I was appalled at our play in the fourth. But holy smokes, drink a beer

 

DON'T DO IT! Believe me, don't do it.

 

The first 3 quarters are real blazers. the 4th quarter, we let the 6th grade local Dallas YMCA team play out of the kindness of our hearts.

 

So is Freeland, Mo Williams and Earl Watson. CJ was a SG in college and just got into the NBA, and it was obvious he couldn't handle the press. I actually blame Stotts as much as I blame any of the players. The Mavs cut the game to like 12. from 38 fucking points.

12 points is NOTHING in the NBA. Carlile should have put his starters in, they hit a few threes and the Blazers come home with a loss, all because of Terry Stotts' inaction.

 

I think you're overreacting a bit here. When you have a 38 pt lead you can play the bottom of the bench. Sure Leonard screwed up and Wright shot blanks...both came in cold and rarely play these days. It's not the end of the world and that rest for our starters will help them in Houston. All of these guys are NBA players. Leonard is a project, sure, we all know that. This is when Claver and Crabbe may have a shot at being tried back in the rotation.

 

That game felt like a loss to you? Seriously? How did you survive when our starters used to get punked like that?

 

Stotts left them into long and almost blew the game. He dug way too deeply into his bench and didn't even have a legit PG in the game. It was just a really dumb move on his part, the proof is in the pudding. And he waited way too long to do anything about it.

 

Watson isn't part of our 2nd string. He's 3rd string. So now make up your mind. You want 2nd stringers, no, some 2nd some 3rd, no, it's that YOU know the right rotation better than our coach. Gotcha. Up 38. You dump your bench. And young guys, not vet coach types.

 

The only time the "waiting too long" thing works, is if we lost.

We didn't. Calm down.

 

Earl Watson is not 2nd string.

Leonard, Wright, and Barton are 3rd string.

 

At least Watson is a legit nba PG. And what he did obviousl was not a good move because last time I checked, blowing a 20 point margin in 6 minutes is not good basketball. If he put a better lineup in there, maybe the starters could have sat the whole quarter.

 

Or he could just play the starters! Then we win by 50. They were up by fucking 38! You expect your scrubs against other scrubs to hold that big of a lead. They didn't. It wasn't the wrong move just because it didn't work out tonight.

 

I bet this thread dynamic was like a roller coaster! Haha

 

lol. We won. That's all I care about. Not about some 3rd line scrubs that made us only win by 16 instead of 30.

 

It was a little frustrating at the end to watch us blow that huge lead, but I don't think anyone as worried we were going to actually lose.

 

The refs in the first half were atrocious.
