That's genuinely impressive! Both runs about to get extended.

Wow... that was at the start of the season that eventually had the covid bubble. It's one of the first games Melo played for us after he signed the week prior. It wasn't even Stotts final year.

The Thunder were in the second month of Chris Paul playing for them. He later played on Phoenix, made the finals, went to Golden State, and now is with the Spurs.

We haven't beat the Thunder since.
 
Ryan Rupert was 15 when we last beat the Thunder, so he couldn't drive himself to watch that game.

Maybe Sharpe drove him - he was 16.

Simons was playing in the game that night, but he was only 20 so he couldn't have a drink. Old man Ayton was able to buy him something though, he had turned 21 four months prior.

I don’t think Chet will be in much against Clingan but when and if he is DC will dominate him. Just all around tougher than Chet.

Kai Jones beat Clingan off the dribble just last game, and Clingan struggled with stretch bigs in college. I like Clingan but Chet is about the worst possible matchup for him defensively...

If we only have one of Scoot/Ant on the floor and all the wing length with three of Camara/Rupert/Grant/Avdija/Murray/etc playing at all times one of the things I'm least worried about with this squad is the blow by defense. We're currently ranked 12th in the NBA in defensive efficiency. Been a long time since we could say that. Our wings can flash to help with Chet and recover no problem.

We have a bottom 5 offense, so were certainly not close to a good overall team. But after so many years of great offense, horrific defense, and multiple tiny guards sharing the floor its nice to at least see some length and D on this team.
 
Real test for Scoot tonight

Can’t drive from France to USA
 
Simons is the only blazer out there who hasn’t made a single pg play yet lol. Tick tock tick tock
 
Camara is 2-2 on 3-pointers. You have to leave him in the game. Not like we have a good chance to win.
 
Anyone watching in Seattle on Comcast ch 362 or 1162? Both are KUNS2 and both are horribly pixelated. The only channels that aren’t crisp in my entire lineup.
 
Chauncey took to long to call that timeout.

Billups is coaching a HOT MESS.

Took Camara out who was 2-2. Avdija is 1-5 overall, 0-2 on threes.

Why the F has Avdija taken 5 shots?

Yeah, definitely should have taken Avdija out.

Can’t do anything without spacing. They’re sitting in a zone and daring guys to shoot.

We gotta move. We gotta force them out of zone.
 
What are the odds we win this thing down 26-14?

If it was a random NBA team I'd probably say we have a 5% chance.

Against OKC I'm thinking less than 1%
