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

Jeeeeeezzz. This forum is ridiculous. We all know our bench isn't good. Especially our 3rd stringers.

 

He didn't want to bring back the starters because he wanted to give them rest. I think he hoped that the bench could at least hold them off, but when they closed it to 15(?) he finally had enough. At that point though, he couldn't bring in Earl. 12 players had already played. He could have brought in Mo though. I think he waited just a little too long, but it's no big deal man. Our third string sucks. Dallas was full court pressing and we had a bunch of young guys in who couldn't handle it. There wasn't a point guard on the floor. We blew the big lead, but we still got a 16(?) point win. No problem.

 

I just wonder if Wright is one of those guys that needs a lot of minutes to be effective.

 

It doesn't matter if you put your scrubs in and the other team shaves a few points off the lead, that happens all the time, but when you see your squad getting full on gang-raped you have to put a stop it to it and make an adjustment. Those Fuckers blew 20 points in like 4 minutes. A few minutes it the 4th, he should have put Earl Watson into the game or something.

 

The real problem is we need one more big man on the team to be able to do that just in case a guy gets in foul trouble

 

He needs minutes and we can't afford to give them to him. He's immature right now. He makes stupid mistakes. He doesn't take things seriously at all. He's just a big child out there. I don't know how you fix that, other than to play him and that needs to happen in Idaho.

 

I really think that was some of the worst basketball I've seen played professionally

 

They played until 5:30 in the 4th. That was a lot more than 4 minutes.

 

Is that a joke? I called Wright out for being the piece of shit that he is early on in the season. He sucks ass. So does Leonard. Now there is no McCollum/Wright debate, there is no Robinson/Leonard debate.

 

I love this shit. They played awful, but if he goes with normal rotation players, up by 38!!!, he gets shit for riding guys too much. Up 38, it's the correct move to empty your bench. They shouldn't play that awful.

 

He has played well in other places, but he got a lot more minutes than he did here. You can call him a piece of shit, but his career numbers don't back that up.

 

Oh, like 2 minutes more...who the fuck cares, it was pathetic.

 

Robinson was the biggest liability tonight, but it's clear our bench talent hasn't played enough together to be effective. Most games they barely get warm. If Stotts doesn't find at least 8-9 guys (including all the bigs) some steady minutes now the playoffs will be an exercise in futility.

 

No, that's not what I fucking said. Not sure how you missed the obvious point, play the 2nd unit rather than our bitches who shouldn't even be in the NBA.

 

hahahahaahah

Oh Maris, you crack me up.

 

Man I'm watching the game on delay and just finished the 3rd quarter, that was so beautiful I wept.


... Can't wait to watch the 4th! I bet it's going to be even better.

 

Robinson is part of our 2nd unit, and so is CJ. When you're up 38, you empty your bench.

 

Wow, if a 16 point win makes you this angry.....ooooof.
