PrintThe Portland Trail Blazers haven't played well tonight, but the Dallas Mavericks have been trying to give the game away. LaMarcus Aldridge hit a circus shot to tie the game with 12 seconds remaining, and Dirk missed a fadeaway at the buzzer. Hang out here and continue the conversation into overtime.. -- Tim

Down by 6, we can do it if we start shooting a little better and stop doing dumb things (like Felton taking 3s)

we just need Jamal to take every shot and LMA never touch the ball
Nate is a man with a plan

I think Batum needs to be starting now. He has earned it. Plus, Wallace is not really useful in the starting line up.
Wallace cannot shoot the ball. Get some guys around LMA to spread court.
Nice start.

they are trying their best to help us
Mavericks keep trying to give us this game on a silver platter
And we keep taking a dump on that silver platter and sending it back to the kitchen

If only we fired Nate . . .
Played Batum more, got Crawford to be more of a true PG, fixed Wallace’s finger, traded Felton for God, got Dwight Howard, used “Six Million Dollar Man” technology to heal Oden, assassinated the top players from 10 other teams . . .
We’d have a chance!

Or just drafted Durant

Oh yeah, already covered in the GDT...

He is not kissing Nates ass enough to earn his minutes

by southern oregon on Feb 11, 2012 7:29 PM PST up reply actions
The problem with our team is that they have no heart.
No one on the blazers this year cares about winning. Not even Aldridge cares, this season he seems to have just quit after that block call in OKC. I’m watching this game and wondering where the desire to win has gone and I really don’t know. Dallas is begging portland to win this game and we simply don’t care. I don’t know what it is, but this team as it stands has a serious problem that needs to be adressed in a trade.
I don't get it
They look fine, it all comes down to our guard play. Camby playing awesomely, Aldridge doing all that he can. Batum playing awesome defense and sprinkling points. It’s the streaky Wallace, Matthews, Felton killing us.

A few more wins, and fans complaining that we have no future at the PG position most likely.
It was a no-win. We weren’t contenders either way most likely. Andre did come with his own set of problems, he wasn’t perfection.
he could pass the ball or dribble reasonably well

Of course. But we have enough holes that he'd only plug a few.
And he’d add a few small ones, like hero shots.
It feels wrong to say this, but LaMarcus Aldridge's mom looks pretty good.

Can we get a shooting guard who can shoot?
It doesn’t seem like a huge thing to ask for a man who can shoot the ball at the position called “shooting” guard, but right now we have a team full of people who can’t shoot. Felton, and Matthews can’t both suck at the same time.
Why does Crawford takes such dumb shots sometimes?
He does that Westbrook thing where he ignores the team’s superstar. Thing is, he’s nowhere near Westbrook’s level.

That's not a near triple-double.
And 8-24 shooting is pretty bad. His production was good, but he wasn’t very efficient. Not a bad game by any means, but nothing to write home about.
He had an ugly 2nd half, shot like 1 for 10
but essentially hit a game-winning free throw, then Rubio turned it over and the fat lady sang

(just a guess, but I’m feelin’ lucky!)

Probably would just foul him if he touched it

-- M. Rivera
he didn't get back out on terry
nic picked him up. felton and gerald switched down low.
Gerald made up for it with a great block
PHILLY!
So much for the "Blazers have no heart" idea
Heart’s there. Could use some better shooters, tho’.
Steve Goodman lives.
aldridge doesnt have a good enough heart for the whole team to use
they will to put their own in it for a little bit.

his point is that LMA had no reason to check for teammates after the catch cause hw was wide open himelf
for his move. for a few seconds
WITH ODEN ON OUR SIDE
I like this situation more honestly
Now we have 24 seconds of pressure we can apply.. if they go early we have a shot at it too.

why is that line up in?
nic passes up a shot so you go with crawford and felton because they would never do that?
nah, just bad this year

We need to pass to Nic for the alley oop
from out of bounds
WOW.
If Wallace handt mistimed jump on rebound maybe extra valuable time on clock

This game is over in 2 seconds folks

…not really. 4 points, 4 assists, 4 steals, 2 rebounds… but 3 TOs.
Eh.

no body can say our team
Lacks drama. After a disastrous first half, it is a miracle our team survived to end regulation with the score tied. Now what?

Good thing we don't have to play until Tuesday...LMA has 47 minutes already.
Thankfully too, Tues vs. Washington

why does the offense involve crawford and felton passing to each other and taking a bad shot?
someone has to answer for possessions like that.
Felton is our starting PG and his job is to get our star the ball.
Instead he’s taken and missed two awful shots. This guard situation just sucks.
About time
REALIZE THAT LMA IS ON THE FLOOR
Maybe you should give it to him?
"We Believe" - Rudy Fernandez
That small lineup getting pushe around at the end of games again
Two big offensive rebounds and scores in the last minute.
by heybabydrinkyourmilk on Feb 11, 2012 8:26 PM PST via mobile reply actions
Dirk may not be particularly clutch
But he’ll hit it eventually.
Why are we so bad in OT
For the last three years I have given up on every OT game the second we enter OT
"We Believe" - Rudy Fernandez
Hahaha
Nice shot. Almost.

There are worse ways to lose
Gave it a good go anyway.
