Game Thread Game #34 - BLAZERS VS MAVERICKS - DECEMBER 27, 2021 - MONDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

This feels as bad as the Khryapa/Monia era.

Even at full health this team blows

Fuck you Neil Olshey!

 

ive reached a level of apathy i guess. tonight didn't bug me as much as some of our other games

 

I’ll keep saying it, Powell should be out the door with CJ. He doesn’t fit next to Dame either. Not good enough defensively.

 

What type of players do you think we could get in return for them?

 

is there a site where we can track where guys have gotten season highs against each team?

i feel this is a nightly occurrence for our defense.

 

Somebody please tell that kid to clean up. He's on television for Chrissake.

 

Poor Puppy. Won't anyone walk the dog in the snow?

 

Confidence builder for the young man though.

 

My answer to the Poll, Hell No! I got Covid.

 

I knew we were cooked when Dame's 1st seven passes to wideeee open 3pt shot teammates were bricks. The only chance they had with no real size, was to shoot lights out. One the bright side, Nas had a very nice game.

 

I will say this about Elleby. Kid gives it his all. He plays decent defense, and is really good on the boards. It's that damn shot of his. If he can some how develop a decent outside shot, he will become a nice player. Who cares about his hair. I'm 57, it doesn't bother me. After my service time i was a long hair for almost 2 decades. It's a form of expression. If he develops a shot he can look like a damn Sasquatch for all i care.

 

Love Dame and want him to finish a Blazer but I think we are going to regret not trading him this year or next. The haul we can still get for him young player and 2-3 1st would set this franchise up for next 10 years

 

Dame should NOT play anytime soon if you ask me. Down 25, he’s out there last night lands on his back and winces REALLY bad. Put a stamp on this one. I will admit I was wrong about my 41 win prediction. I’m always way too optimistic with my predictions.

 

Yeah if he's in pain that would probably be wise but I don't think he's going to let the team shut him down if he's able to be as effective as he's been since getting the cortisone shot. He'll just let it get worse until March when he'll get another shot. It may be the wise thing to shut Dame down and just have him rehab or if there is a surgery to fix this shit once and for all get that done but if it's the same surgery as the one for that tendon being torn the recovery time is only 4-8 weeks which would have him back by some time in early March or even in February. We could all say not to rush it and get Dame to take the rest of the season to get his body and game on point but Dame isn't Kawhi, they aren't wired the same and I just don't see him taking any time off that he doesn't absolutely have to.

 

Don't feel bad. The main thing is that you'll be wrong again, keeping the streak intact.

 

lol...c'mon

let's see Dame for Simmons, a 28th pick, a 26th pick, and a swap that doesn't happens would set the franchise up for 10 years?

people are delusional believing Portland is going to get some historic haul for trading a 31 year old 6'2 guard with a potentially chronic injury having his worst season as a pro while being on a super-max contract. It ain't gonna happen

 

wtf was brooks thinking putting dame back in to start the fourth having played him 30+ mins thru three quarters when we were down 20?
