Oh god Simons lmao

 

[Labinot41]

Take this Kid back to Highschool wtf

 

[illmatic99]

Ouch, Ant. That was a nasty block

 

[hoopsjock]

Simons needs to try and posterize people instead of shying away from contact.

 

[BonesJones]

I feel like Simons could've packed that if he 1-2 stepped it. I'm so disappointed he didn't, that could've been the dunk of the year if he did.

 

[wizenheimer]

Simons has picked up a little of the MeJ hooplock

 

[TBpup]

I'm starting to think that Hoard, Little and Hezonja have all taken on the nickname of "pass to a guard".

In Portland, that is called 'Mastering the Offense'.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Shai is so good

 

[Labinot41]

Trent says: Watch this Neil After all the talk about Simons Last summer

 

[AldoTrapani]

Take this Kid back to Highschool wtf

He fucking sucks

 

[BonesJones]

They're eating up our pick n roll defense.

 

[TBpup]

They're eating up our pick n roll defense.

What defense?

 

[The Professional Fan]

When Dame gets warm I’m not sure there is a more fun player to watch this side of Steph

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow Chris Paul is filthy

 

[BonesJones]

I hate our fucking pick n roll scheme.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Ugh

 

[DUB]

Good fight by the team, it’s a lot closer game than I thought it would be.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Not as bad as I expected. So far Blazers have a lot more energy than me.

 

[twobullz]

Not going to be a popular opinion, but I have been more with Trent then Simons. He plays both ends of the court.

 

[DDolla]

Same play all over again for the Thunder, pick, dribble to the foul line for an open shot lol

 

[Serbian]

So CP3 becomes best 3 pt shooter ever. Why is everyone who plays us become god from 3 point range?!

Watch the 3rd when the Thunder go on a 20-0 run

Because they are usually wide open.

What is new.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

If we win this game, we’re 9th in West. Lose and we’re 11th.

Because Stotts' defense is designed to take away the 3-pt shot and give up the mid-range....and his defense sucks! Either that, or maybe it is all the 7'ers they are rolling out there and they just can't keep up on the perimeter.

 

[James lamphear]

Paul always does really well against and the reason he always keeps is dribble alive and knows know defender will be around free throw line plus he good mid range shooter and he will hit the 3 when wide open.

Problem this year they not guarding either one this year.

Trent seems to be seizing the moment. Simons and Little - not so much.

 

[DUB]

Normally Darude - Sandstorm is the late 90’s dance song that arenas play, but OKC broke out DJ Jean - The Launch to start the second half.
