Fuck tanking! Blazers @ Sonics 03/18/2012 - Game Thread!

[Rhal]

Crawford looked at Harden as he caught the ball made no effort to get on him.

 

[Darkwebs]

Dang. Just not enough talent to keep up with the Blunder

 

[magnifier661]

Pretty obv they have a huge bias towards OKC tonight.

Collison clearly pushed Thomas in the chest and they call a t instead.

 

[Rhal]

8-12 from three, god I hate our perimeter D.

 

[KingSpeed]

I thought we were gonna get makeup calls tonight. Guess not.

 

[magnifier661]

There goes our run.

Oh, fuck you Harden.

Like his little gloat after the shot?

 

[VenomXL]

OKC will probably get this up over 20 and we'll see the young guys play most of the fourth.

 

[MARIS61]

KC needs to make those magical 2nd half adjustments pretty soon.

 

[Carlito]

Aldridge is really bad lately

 

[Darkwebs]

Jamal for 3! Need more of those

 

[VenomXL]

So easy for OKC.

 

[Rhal]

This game actually gives me confidence that we could beat them in a 7 game series, they are getting the benefit of the whistle and no calls big time, there clicking. The thunder team isn't going to get any better this is them at there best, we will improve a lot by the end of the season. We look lost on D and not sure what to do on O.

 

[Darkwebs]

Finally Nic hits a jumper

 

[MARIS61]

Collison clearly pushed Thomas in the chest and they call a t instead.

We should forfeit and end the game before we get hurt.

 

[Darkwebs]

Clutchford!

That's the thing. There's no reason to believe that they wouldn't get help from the refs during the playoff series.

 

[alex42083]

Now just need to play some defense.

 

[RoyToy]

OKC is playing light out and it's only a 14pt game

This team is still a pretty decent team

 

[magnifier661]

+1 for the third. Now we need a +14

 

[magnifier661]

I'm loving this team again! Yes!!!

 

[RoyToy]

Man Joel has 11 boards in 20min

I hope he re-signs

 

[alex42083]

Gotta hold OKC to under 100... or else we have to score 30-plus in the quarter. Play some D!

 

[Rhal]

I guess they could let Durant/Westbrook shoot 20+ FT's a game and we just lose. I just see a Blazer team that still has a ton of potential just waiting to really click. We have great improvements that could be made, the thunder don't so I guess I just see them as a pinnacle we could reach and play neck and neck with.

They only score 12 this quarter. What we score is the question.

 

[VenomXL]

This is the Jamal Portland wanted.

 

[Darkwebs]

Jamal is scintillating

 

[Rhal]

Crawfords crossover is amazing but its also a carry everytime lol.

 

[magnifier661]

Crawford hearing up. Could be a good sign

 

[VenomXL]

Babbit!!

 

[RoyToy]

Babbitt got game!
