Game Thread 2025-26 GAME #8 - BLAZERS VS THUNDER - WEDNESDAY - NOVEMBER 5, 2025 - 7:00 PM - KUNP - BLAZERVISION (7 Viewers)

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

 

[SheedSoNasty]

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.

 

[PDXFonz]

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!

 

[Mediocre Man]

What in the actual fuck was that?

We are all going to need therapy with games like that following games like the one against South Bay

Thanks, I was looking for a more appropriate thread to post it to. I'm taking someone to a game for the first time. It could've been this game but I said, I don't want their first Blazer game to be a loss, lol.

So next chance is one of the back to backs against the Suns and Bulls. Leaning towards the Suns as our likelihood of beating them is higher, but the 8pm start might be an issue. So we better beat the surprisingly good Bulls team if I take a first timer that night

I was at this game (Thunder) and boy the refs seem to want the Thunder to win, The Ref You Suck can't was loud and lengthy and frequent. Electric victory. Somehow reminded me of some BRoy crunch time heroics against Joe Johnson and the Hawks. I was at the Moda for that too. Crazy how time flies.

 

[Mediocre Man]

We’ve beaten GS, Denver, and OKC.

And lost to the .500 Wolves, the below .500 Clippers and the South Bay Lakers

Thanks for the info

Deni looks like Rambo

 

[sheed30]

Great win! We can’t get too high or low on this team, bad losses (Lakers) and great wins will happen. It’s just about growth, the team jelling and see how consistent we can be as the season goes on!

 

[kjironman1]

The road games might be interesting. What I'm seeing is a team that relies on defensive disruptions to get going and a couple of players that are veterans. Obviously the Blazers don't really score well even at home but stay in games with disruptive defense. That usually translates on the road.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Let's be hopeful, but stay humble.

Almost had to eat on that one!

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Where’s the Tiago Splitter fan club now ? Lol

Camara defense isn’t as good as before

Told ya. It’s not just me

Chauncey had these guys playing harder than this

Look at this all their no namers kill lol

So does the Aldo guy just simply disappear when the team plays well? #ClownTown

Yes. Yes he does. I called it before. Go look at the Denver game. Same thing.

He is a complete and total troll. He is only here to toss shade and make fun of the Blazers. He is not a fan at all or he would enjoy the wins.

This guy should not be here.
Send him off like other trolls.

 

[kjironman1]

Anyone watching that game has got to admit that was fun to watch. At least for Blazer fans anyway.

Huge win. Im sure its another confidence booster for the team.
