Please put Rupert in the game. Let's see the bigger guys play together.

Surely this will lead to some changes. Holy shit

 

[KingSpeed]

We were good that year too. We beat MJ’s Bulls the game before.

the thunder are doing this for a reason

Luguentz Dort was the only player who played in both (unless Poko is still on the Thunder roster?)

 

[42N8Bounce]

Down by 62.
Billups doesn’t look concerned.
He must have a plan.

 

[OneSport3]

At this point, I would probably trade a 1st round pick for Mark Daigneault or Will Hardy.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Honestly, it takes effort to be down 62 points in 45 minutes.

I THOUGHT that was the case. Wasn't that the 72 win Bulls?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

At this point, I would probably trade a 1st round pick for Mark Daigneault or Will Hardy.

Or a coach called "Not Chauncey"

 

[KingSpeed]

62 point margin after three! We're already tied for fifth worst all-time! We're going to do it!

We’re not tied for 5th all time. It’s a 48 minute game.

 

[blazerkor]

Fuck!!! This team is two years away from being two years away. Shop every player on the roster. Trade every “win now” guy that is on the roster because they sure as shit aren’t helping us win now!

No it was Jordan’s last year with Chicago.

You're right. We're going to be #1 easily.

"Rope a dope"

OKC was just as bad as this 2 years ago.

 

[Quatro44]

I am torn, because its my team getting beat, but I also want to see a record broken.

the Thunder are just playing basketball. The Blazers have absolutely quit. They're sick of trying to save Chauncey & Rodney's coaching job, but they're too proffesional to say their coaches suck.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Somewhere the Pistons are saying "hey, I'm glad we're not THEM!"

 

[TYDame]

The good news is that Jody not paying any luxury tax.

 

[OneSport3]

You can tell when a team has a system/culture and is being coached well when their bench unit comes in and plays the same way as the starters. OKC’s bench is passing and moving like their starters.

 

[MickZagger]

Mini run!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

The Thunder WISHES they were as good as we're making them look

 

[blazerfan11]

I kinda like the Blazer unit in now. They may not be able to score but you can count on them to try on defense.

 

[Whyachi]

Remix 9-0 run !!

To be fair, so is our team's.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Just keep it within 50.

This… is… well, @SlyPokerDog ban this guy!!! He spoke it to fruition!!!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Mini run!

CUT IT TO 53!!!!!!!!!

 

[B-Roy]

I’m mostly impressed because its just a perfect storm of chance when

one team misses all their open shots
One team makes all their contested shots
All loose balls go to one team
All shots rim out for one team
All the calls go against one team

yes, even if luck sorted out the Thunder would still be winning by 20, but this is just crazy lol

 

[blazerfan11]

Did Chauncey order the 3rd string to shoot nothing but 3-pointers?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

The sound of clanking is deafening
