Blazers at Thunder 2/6/09 Game Thread

[MARIS61]

are you saying that it's oden's fault that other people aren't passing him the ball in the post?

Yes, he's rarely open enough for a pass.

 

[Darkwebs]

Aldridge with a nice strong move inside.

 

[Karl Malone's Elbows]

Maybe our guys should intensify their warm up routines. They have shown all season that they take awhile to find their gears.

Actually many of the players have started working out before games to help this very thing.

Also, Aldridge, Blake, and Outlaw are part of a group called the After Party, which is a group that gets together after the game to lift weights. Outlaw has contributed much of his late game success to this.

Yes, he's rarely open enough for a pass.

Do.. you even watch the games?

 

[Darkwebs]

Aldridge looked like a guard right there, picking off the pass.

 

[alex42083]

Wow... games ops crew in OKC.... ANNOYING

 

[BrianFromWA]

good to see Sergio helping off Westbrook to double Durant.

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

and another link bites the dust

 

[MARIS61]

He can't just stand there and expect the ball. He's got to block his man out from the pass.

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

ok there it goes

 

[number 10]

FUCK YOU DAVID STERN.

god damn this is annoying, try offering a decent product and I'd buy it

 

[MARIS61]

another link bites the dust.

 

[PapaG]

Oden can't get a break. He gets fouled, refs ignore it. He touches anybody else, it's an instant foul.

Nate needs to complain through the media about this. Phil Jackson used to do it for Shaq.

 

[MARIS61]

I may have to go back to watching baseball rather than Blazers if I can't get a link.

Comcast will never be in my area.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Good D by Bayless against Green. Then there was a dunk. Then a blocked layup. Then a fastbreak dunk. 22

 

[Darkwebs]

This is kind of embarassing...

 

[BlayZa]

link is back

 

[alex42083]

Hahahahaha... that's the symbol of the game. They're making too many shots and breaking their net.

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

Mixum needs a new pair of shorts after that block/dunk sequence

 

[Darkwebs]

The Thunder's net just ripped from overuse.

 

[illmatic99]

This game is over.

 

[cdub503]

what happened to the net? At work kinda heard something about replacing the net

 

[CaptNapalm]

When does Blake get back. Good god we are getting killed.

 

[Darkwebs]

Hopefully, this stop in play will get our guys' focus back. Where's our hustle, where's our head?

 

[alex42083]

I wouldn't mind Nate sitting the starters down the rest of the game to send a message, and play Frye, Ike, Shavlik, Jerryd and Rudy the rest of the game.

 

[Darkwebs]

what happened to the net? At work kinda heard something about replacing the net

The Thunder swished too many shots.

Seriously, Green dunked and his finger caught the net and it ripped.

 

[bigbailes]

is there any reason bayless doesnt foul on the dunk??/

 

[Darkwebs]

22 point deficit with less than 3 minutes in the 3rd. It's looking more and more hopeless.

 

[DUB]

Rebecca looks pissed off.

Maybe that's because she knows she'd could do a better job out there than our players.

 

[Karl Malone's Elbows]

Oden can't get a break. He gets fouled, refs ignore it. He touches anybody else, it's an instant foul.

It's pretty typical for rookies to be treated like this by the refs, it's just the way the NBA works. Oden will get smarter and the refs will gain more respect over time. I was actually pretty surprised early in the season because Oden was getting the benefit of the doubt more often than not.
