Was the 16 game losing streak all During Chauncey Phillips 10 year? Tenure

Must be. He coached 4 years and we play them 4 times a year being in our division.

What did Portland end up shooting in the 4th Q. TV guy said they were 13-16 toward the end. Blazers needed every make

* I get that SGA gets officiating that seems...off. Guess what though, Deni gets a lot of the same calls. Drive aggressively, lean into contact, fish for whistles. The Corey Maggette school of offense

* OKC looked pretty gassed in the 2nd half; ragged. They sure didn't look like the high BBIQ team they usually are. several dumb plays by the Thunder. Blazer defense helped that along

* Blazers shot 44% on three's and 38% on two's. Backasswards works sometimes. I wonder what the winning percentage is of teams that shoot over 44% on three's. Jrue was 0-6 on three's against the Lakers and 6-10 tonight

before the season, I didn't predict the first 8 games, but if I had, I would have said "probably 2-6; but 3-5 at best". Blazers are 3-1 in those toss-up close games. I did predict 40-41 wins, Not ready to come off that yet. That Laker loss is too recent

I kinda despise the Thunder and they’ve had our number for years. Glad to get that monkey off our backs and get right after an embarrassing loss to the Los Anus Lickers. Would have been sweet to be 6-2, but 5-3 will have to do.

Portland was only +145 before this one fyi

 

[PDXFonz]

Duop has been low key clutch AF early on

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I just realized we played 13 minutes of that game without a point guard. Seems to indicate they realize that having Love in the game is a detriment.

Yes

Apologies for posting on this thread.

Am I reading the schedule correct that our game vs Suns on the 18th is at 8PM Pacific?

Why? I have not seen a game scheduled past 7:30PM

Or is that an error

Bro you can ask that wherever you want. Yeah it’s an 8pm tip off. Dumb late.

 

[BlazerBeav]

8PM tipoffs are a thing on the NBC/Peacock doubleheader nights - awful.

Amazing win - went from hating life in the first quarter to walking back to car with a lot of excitement (not counting the twenty police cars around the Red Robin / Denny's block - assuming someone wasn't alive in that area any longer).

All of the Peacock/NBC games are on at 5pm and 8pm Pacific. That's when they've been airing them and will continue to this season.

Edit: Even that Highlights Creating Panic guy @THE HCP said he's never seen that before. I agree, how the fuck does NBC expect those late games to get any viewers anywhere but the west coast and we aren't even used to games being that late. Crazy stuff. Someone on the east coast would have to stay up to 1:30am to watch an average game that starts at 11pm for them.

Need to win next game, possibly No Bam Adebayo

 

[Everything Beagle]

I propose we call that no point guard, no center lineup we were running early in the fourth "Tiago's Hot Wings".

 

[Strenuus]

Ya know what? It backfired when people said 5-2 when we faced the Lakers.

What if we just say 4-4 and just do the opposite?

Don't say I didn't do anything nice here!

 

[THE HCP]

Well, this kinda takes the sting off of the Lakers debacle.

What are you talking about FAMS….WE won!

 

[THE HCP]

Great W from the guys. Wins like that before long road trips are HUGE!

 

[THE HCP]

@THE HCP will be doing a Q&A from South Beach in his BORAT swimsuit Friday at noon pacific if you want to join FAMS!
