Game Thread GAME# 40: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 10, 2016 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

I never mind beating the Thunder, I hate Westbrook so much.

Westbrook often seems to help us out a bit but doing goofy stuff down the stretch.

 

[Sinobas]

What's up with Westbrook's facial hair? He's got a few whiskers above the corners of his lips, and about 15 whiskers sticking out of his chin.

 

[Haakzilla]

Where did he go?

...nowhere, hence the "back" (I suppose I needed to also make it green font the first time)

 

[Sinobas]

Interesting stat for the game: Lillard, CJ, Aminu, Leonard, Plumlee, Davis, Henderson, Crabbe, and Harkless combined for 115 points tonight.

I'm so glad ya'll got to see a great game at Moda.

Thank you. We wanted you there, for sure.

I'm sitting next to some OKC fans. They are the kindest people.

What a game to be at, right man? Hope you and your son had a blast!

 

[PDXFonz]

Give that boy a chant!!! Who's scared now, Russell???

Shit I didn't even think of it. It all happened so fast, and we were all so hyped. By the time we were done giving high fives for one three he'd already hit 2 more!

My thoughts after the game: Dame went off, but that wasn't enough to make me forget how impressed I am with Noah Vonleh. Dude had some serious defensive contributions in the early goings of the game.

Also, I remember reading an article where Dame said that Westbrook is the guy he most looks forward to playing/guarding. He's been magical on more than one occasion vs the Thunder. The lesson? Don't wake a sleeping bear.

Missed the game today to see Star Wars. Looks like I missed a good game! I"m going to DVR the 2:00am showing though and watch it tomorrow, fast forwarding the commercials.

How did you like the movie though?

 

[Rhal]

Just finished watching it on DVR. That last 3 minutes... my god, dame had that look on his face like he wasnt going to miss and it wasnt just Dame. The stepping up defensively at the end, Plumlees block was something that makes you realize just how athletic he is.
If Lillard had made that last 3 I think Mike B would have ended up cursing on live TV.

 

[Strenuus]

Here's 9 minutes of pure bliss.

 

[BBert]

I love okc. Hope they win. (reverse psychology)

Ah, the old reverse jinx.

FTW!!!

 

[BBert]

RipCityTwo is a good luck charm!

We need more suite time!

 

[THE HCP]

What a great W! Dame was unconscious out there in the 4th!

 

[BBert]

And it was shear bedlam in the suite. One of the best times I've ever had at a game.

 

[BBert]

And I don't just mean the finish. Great group of guys to watch a game with!

How did you like the movie though?

I liked it, I thought it was better than George Lucas' "prequels". The plot is so similar to the 1st 3 though, it's almost like a re-make.

got around to watching the game this morning, amazing.

Dame was out of this world in the 4th, and Plumlee had a couple of huge plays with taking the charge and then the block at the death - well done, Mason!

Vonleh started n locked in 14mins.... yet again. He had some decent defensive plays with 2 steals, 3 boards and a block, but 5 fouls, 0pts and a turnover - jesus, it must be confusing being this guy.

Meyers, terrible. Davis, putting in work - ffs, start this guy already @ PF......

excellent game, great one for RC2 to represent @.

 

[BBert]

Vonleh started the game really well. Then he had two mistakes in short order that I saw, and found the bench. Definitely some potential there.

Same thing happened to Meyers. He had a couple of dufus plays in a row in the second half, and got the hook.

 

[Trackjack]

Over all they play as a team the guards got everyone involve in the offense and that actually gave them life on the defense end. Of course it was great when Dame got in a zone last 2 minutes of the game. This is how this team has to play to be effective. It just can't be 2 man show that don't work because sooner or later the other player shut down. It was good balance throughout the game for these guys. Great win and continue play like this and we will start to get more wins. Go Blazers!!!!

 

[PDXFonz]

After rewatching the game I have a new thought - I can't wait to see Plumlee in the playoffs. He's that dude who get's really hyped, I love that shit...
