[Rastapopoulos]

This is the strat. Go 1/2 at the line but keep getting the rebound

If they called it when they hack at Clingan's arm, it might work. But alas

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Threes just aren't falling for Deni

 

[BlayZa]

Deni needs to relax on the 3s, just drive n draw or dish

 

[Rastapopoulos]

OKC has fully internalized the "if you foul all the time they'll stop calling 'em" strategy

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Everything's short for Deni. Clearly gassed

All the good teams are allowed to, coincidentally.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Deni wishes he could get the calls SGA gets. Fuck EVERYONE wishes it

 

[julius]

It's weird how the league anoints players as untouchable.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Hey, we DIDN'T LOSE that quarter!

 

[Cugel]

Deni : rough night

 

[Chris Craig]

Deni needs to stop thinking he will get those calls. Stop complaining. Keep his head in the game. He needs to understand as long as he is in a Blazers jersey, he will not get respect from the refs.

Yeah, I hate it. It's bullshit.

Not surprised the game could go this way. OKC's really good, we beat them last time, now they get us on their court and we're missing a cast of thousands.

Just a couple of opinions.

That offensive foul call on Donovan when Holmgren tried to defend him on the block after an offensive rebound and got ragdolled was horsebleep. Clingan did a normal move to create space that almost never gets called and Holmgren got off-balance and acted like he had a seizure. If he wasn't so physically overmatched, that would have been a foul on him, but he looks like he's giving up 100 pounds and got treated like he was Clingan's younger brother.

The way Donovan's playing now, I'd prefer him to Chet. It's at least not a really big gap.

Michael Cage is one of the most irritating announcers. Both members of their team are annoying, but he's talking about Rupert on the flagrant foul like Rupert shot someone and should be deported. Rupert actually made a nice play on the shot. He just grabbed the neck of the jersey or got his offhand in there while trying to. But then, at the other end, Clingan got mugged by three Thunder player and almost pulled down and Cage was saying it was a good foul, that you don't give up easy shots. He literally said Rupert should have just given up the layup a couple of minutes earlier and the play he made was dangerous, he's lucky he didn't hurt the shooter and that Hartenstein going after him was exactly what any good teammate should do. Clown.

 

[B-Roy]

Deni is either tired or annoyed but he's giving no effort

 

[riverman]

Little 30 pt run and we'll be right back in this!

Not sure why Clingan would've tried to get a veteran foul there.

 

[Chris Craig]

Yeah, that's getting overturned.

 

[julius]

And then he did the "ball don't lie" after the guy missed free throws.

Dude, you played yourself.

I knew this was going to happen and was going to come in and try the reverse jinx thing where I say Blazers do not have a chance but I was 100% sure after they lost to the Blazers earlier in the year they would come out and send a message and they did.

and it was --- We own your ass now take a blow out loss and do not get anyone else injured -- PERIOD

We are just missing too many guys and too tired from beating the Warriors.

Thinking of the Yang over the top love fest this summer is LOL.

The way this team is beat up right now any win is a bonus at this point and that does stink but that is the NBA now days. Now there might be a few teams they should compete with but that number is not very high atm.

Semi off topic --

This offseason the NBA needs to figure out a way to cut down all the injuries cause it's not just the Blazers I bet the OUT list could make 2 to 3 maybe more teams and that is unacceptable. I am not sure what the answer is but something needs to change cause this is not healthy for the NBA at all.

You have to have a good roster all the way to end of it like the Thunder. All of their guys are good. All of them.

Or they could add an option for the injury report as “soft”.

 

[riverman]

That was sure butt ugly!
