Collins is playing great tonight. Coach is riding this group longer than normal right? Seems like CJ and Nurkic have been out forever.

 

[rotary111]

They should feed Collins for a few plays. He looks focused.

 

[illmatic99]

Paul George makes two straight threes and wants to make a statement after he gets mad at the refs. Begging for the ball.

Felton jacks a fadeaway 20 foot shot over a defender draped all over him.

LMAO. Good riddens

 

[SIeepwalker]

Nurk sucks today

 

[illmatic99]

Nurk sucks today

He needs to regain some focus. He and ET killin us today

 

[ripcityboy]

Nurk sucks today

Can't figure it out. One day he plays tough. The next day, flop-o-rama. Aww shucks. I will join the Optimist' s Club. "He's always good!"

 

[Cippy91]

Nurk just isn’t good to me. I don’t see any redeeming qualities in his play other than footwork

 

[SIeepwalker]

No energy from Nurk and Mo...

 

[ripcityboy]

Nurk just isn’t good to me. I don’t see any redeeming qualities in his play other than footwork

We still probably re-sign him. I mean. Who else we gunna get?

 

[Cippy91]

I don’t know but I know the contract he will end up getting from us is gonna piss me off because he won’t be worth it honestly

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Sorry, I haven't been paying attention, which Blazer do we hate tonight?

 

[Cippy91]

Paul George would be the perfect fit on this Portland team and it’s depressing he went to okc

 

[ripcityboy]

Sorry, I haven't been paying attention, which Blazer do we hate tonight?

The one with the cold nose.

 

[Cippy91]

You would think the basketball is a fucking bomb based on how fast nurk gets rid of it once he touches it

 

[ripcityboy]

Our guys are busting their ass. OKC seem to be more going through the motions.

 

[BonesJones]

Lmao PG

 

[ripcityboy]

Great effort to end the first half.

 

[VenomXL]

Good first half. The guys are playing hard. Nurk has settled in and had a nice half.

 

[BonesJones]

CJ had Connaughton wide fucking open.

 

[KingSpeed]

OKC is garbage. We be punking em on the road without our best player, lol.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Okay good end to the half

 

[illmatic99]

Either OKC is so poorly coached, or they seriously overlooked us. Completely unfocused half from them. Hope they don't play smart in the second half and we can steal one

 

[BonesJones]

Nurk just isn’t good to me. I don’t see any redeeming qualities in his play other than footwork

Seriously?

 

[illmatic99]

Paul George would be the perfect fit on this Portland team and it’s depressing he went to okc

Looks like shit culture. He'd have so much more fun playing with our squad, and prolly win more.

 

[AFully22]

I thought the Blazers played a good half but damn this OKC team should be better then this. It’s more than the new pieces not jelling yet too.

 

[KingSpeed]

It's Westbrook and the coach.

 

[e_blazer]

Loved the way Westbrook gave up on the play after CJ picked his pocket. With his athleticism, he could have made a play at blocking the shot, but he just quit.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Nurk has 14 & 5 and yet its not good
well, given hes the mix of Hakeem, Kobe and Nash, I tend to agree

 

[illmatic99]

BTW, we have only 4 assists in the whole half

 

[KingSpeed]

BTW, we have only 4 assists in the whole half

Some of that was Nurk not finishing but then tipping it back in.
