Blazers at Thunder 2/6/09 Game Thread

[chris_in_pdx]

Defense or no defense, OKC is playing like NBA champions right now.

 

[BengalDuck]

WTF is travis just lollygagging back for? Roy having to defend a 1 v 2 fast break because Outlaw jogs back...neat.

 

[alex42083]

This game looks exactly like New Orleans, except OKC's scrubs are the ones that are killing us.

 

[Natebishop3]

this is getting embarassing

We're way past "getting embarassing"

 

[MARIS61]

Bench is garbage tonight.

No direction, no hustle, no ball movement.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

This is what drives me nuts about McMillain.... why are we letting them dictate to us? We have a huge height advantage over them, and yet we're playing small ball. Seriously......

It's okay he's a good coach it's the players nevermind all his previous teams he's coached.

 

[alex42083]

Someone talk me off the ledge, I'm Mixum'ing out right now.

lol

 

[santeesioux]

Cough trade cough

it hasn't just been the bench.

 

[alex42083]

I'm tired of MB's list of unsung heroes from other teams as well that always have good games against us. That happens when you give every opposing player wide open shots every time you play them.

 

[The Professional Fan]

(Rice): "This team you can score on, don't worry"

We have 25 2 minutes into the 2nd quarter.

Yeah, when Rice said that I said out loud "Oh, really - Rice? We have 25 fucking pts"

He only knows how to coach a jump shooting team. First in Seattle now in Portland.

 

[Tortimer]

This is embarrassing. We can make a shot and they just run and make a layup every time down. I'm not sure how much more I can watch and I hate to say it but Mixum is right about tonight's game. I will give it the rest of the first half and if we keep this up I'm done watching and I never stop watching games no matter how bad we play.

 

[PapaG]

Come on Oden, lay some muscle on somebody. Inspire the team!

 

[illmatic99]

Whom do you blame for this?

 

[MARIS61]

Is that a year or final score?

Repped for the understatement.

 

[Natebishop3]

Keep feeding Oden... Keep feeding Oden.... keep feeding Oden.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Oden's fouled 3 seconds after coming into the game....hmmm.


Joe Smith guarding him.

Oden should've had that board.

 

[MARIS61]

Whom do you blame for this?

Everyone who thinks Bayless can run an offense, or defend PG's adequately.

 

[BengalDuck]

I think Roy more than anyone needs to learn how to throw the ball in to the post. Especially with how often he actually handles the ball.

Everyone wants to talk shit but Oden has easily been our best player this game. Not that that's saying anything.

 

[PapaG]

Rudy just refused to pass to a wide open Oden, then gets the ball back and launches yet another three. This is disgusting.

 

[Natebishop3]

I love it... they look at Oden for like 2 seconds, the Thunder go to double, and then we give up and shoot a three.

 

[alex42083]

This is terrible....

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I'm glad Nate didn't sign the extension. Fuck this offense.

 

[alex42083]

I'd even contemplate putting in Ike and Channing. How much worse can they do?

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm glad Nate didn't sign the extension. Fuck this offense.

You can say that again.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Please, just run the offense through Oden the rest of the year. Just do it, Nate. DO IT! I dare you....

 

[MARIS61]

Serge for 3

 

[BrianFromWA]

Daring Sergio to shoot and he hits it. Travis using his "I can't see 7 footers waving their arms at me" googles, obviously.

 

[julius]

This is terrible....

It's not to be unexpected though. The Thunder are playing better, and if you are honest, you have to admit that there's probably a chance Portland got full of themselves after the Hornets game.
