Blazers vs OKC Thread 11/04/10.........

Tracy McG...I mean Kevin Durant had a bad night.

At least Tracy McGrady was a good passer in his time. Durant is all shootshootshoot.

It is no wonder he scores so much. He has the green light from literally 27-28 ft. And he doesn't hesitate to shoot from there. Can he make them? Yes but why?

The key will be to slow the game down and keep them from running. And when Durant does turn the corner and goes in for the dunk, take a hard foul. This where Joel, Greg and their 12 fouls would come in handy. Wear him out for the 4th.

I watched the whole game. The Clippers are a different team with Bledsoe running it. he looked really good.

The Thunder were really bad. Durant played worse than the stats showed and his stats were bad. (0-10 from 3 pt line) another 6 TO game.

That is two games in a row they have been blown out. This worries me. There is no way they can shoot that bad again.

My thoughts exactly. Then again, if they do throw up another stinkbomb one would hope it could rattle their confidence and send them into a reaaaaaaaaally early death spiral ... yeah right.

Baron Davis didnt even play and they still blasted them. Any given night right?

Davis hasn't played much all year, he came into training camp with bitch tits. When he has played he's been horrible. He's not the All-Star caliber talent that he once was.

 

[THE HCP]

He's stackin' chips like one though!

Baron Davis has his own sneaker. Its made by Li-Ning, a Chinese shoe brand. They are hideous.

That's money! Right down to the knock-off looking Swoosh on the side. They look like the kind of shoe you'd get at Target or K-Mart.

But, B-Diddy wants a Benjamin for his version. My favorite part is his face on the tongue of the shoe.

Are you a season ticket holder? If not, be sure to use the 20% discount from someone. I will be there.

Choice of jersey depends on what you already have. If none, I would go with Roy.

I don't have any current Blazer player jerseys right now. I love Roy, but for some reason guys like Roy I expect things from when they play. So I usually find myself rooting for guys like Batum and Bayless.

BTW, does the season ticket holder have to be present with his club card? Or can he let me borrow it? He's a colleague of mine.

I just would hate for you to buy a jersey for a player that ends up somewhere else. Roy would be the safest choice, but Batum would also be a good one.

It is usually a younger kid in the gift shop and doubt they would really check that strictly. Try it. If it does not work, just wait till half time and I will be down there getting one of the new jackets/pullovers. They are pretty nice this year.

Ok. I will be in section 110. If it does work I'll look for you. What section will you be near?

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

I will be in section 211 row B seat 5.

I am currently watching the League Pass Broadband of the Thunder vs Clipper game and there is something really comical about the Clipper announcers ripping on the Thunder for taking horrible shots. But lets hope that trend continues.

Oberto is out for tonight:

There goes 6 fouls. He's not very good, but Aldridge is already logging 38 mpg, and Camby really shouldn't be getting over 30 mpg. I guess we'll see more of Cunningham at PF tonight.

I wish Przybilla could play.

Cunningham vs Green will be interesting to watch for sure. But i was thinking we might need his 6 fouls for Durant as well.

The more I think about it the bigger loss that is for the Blazers. IMO LMA plays less aggressive when he knows he can't get into foul trouble.

 

[THE HCP]

Maybe the Vanilla Ghost Faced Killa Przybilla makes his return tonight! Willis Reed style!

 

[MickZagger]

This Thunder team has been a disappointment so far this year. Absolutely no inside scoring and their defense has been atrocious, giving up 106 points a game. I expect a win in front of a sell out crowd.

Not going to the game and this is going to be a hard game to DVR. I usually tape the game and start watching about 30-1hour after the game starts so I can skip commercials and halftime. A 7:30 start time against a dvision rival and the new darlings of the league . . . might have to watch from the start and pace back and forth during commercials for this game.

Go Blazers

Not having Oberto is a huge blow. Fuck. No backup for Camby who may have to be less aggressive to stay in the game. Why can't our big men stay healthy???

Portland's training staff is the worst in the entire NBA.

What happened to the GREEN font?

Never thought I'd see this posted this year!

I can't even say "it's_FO_time" tonight much less "it's_GO_time"

How do you induce light-headedness in training? Do they use the NASA high-G devices?

They must have kept him from drinking enough water.

The thing I like about Oberto is, when he fouls somebody, he really fouls somebody. The other night a ref called a ticky tack foul on him and I was like, no way. Ref, you would know when he fouled somebody. He takes flesh for payment.

We still have to wait like an hour and a half until tipoff.

These 10:40 + starts are killer for me.
