Game Thread GAME# 49: BLAZERS @ THUNDER - JANUARY 22, 2019 - TUESDAY, 5:00 PM, NBATV & NBCSNW

[BonesJones]

We still cant do shit against pressure, trapping defense.

 

[Bruno_Sabino]

20 turnovers....that's the dagger

 

[BonesJones]

We beat ourselves.

 

[LayneStaley]

I want Moe traded

 

[ripcityboy]

They beat us thoroughly twice now. We allowed them to dictate the game on both sides of the ball and it's over before it starts. Even if you score over 20 in the third.

 

[BonesJones]

Our starting forwards: 0-10FG, 0-5 3pt, 2-4FT

 

[riverman]

We beat ourselves.

No...they beat us...they got a ton of steals....we bricked a ton of 3s

 

[KingSpeed]

We beat ourselves.

They do this to everybody. Well, except the Hawks.

 

[LuckyShot]

Paul George's plan: make a couple crossovers, if that doesn't work then put shoulder into nearest defender and throw up crappy shot and beg refs for a bailout call. What a bitch.

 

[KingSpeed]

No...they beat us...they got a ton of steals

Yep

 

[joeBlazers]

Stotts ... this one's on you.

 

[BonesJones]

No...they beat us...they got a ton of steals

Off of absolutely terrible passes.

 

[Blazer4ever]

Come on Blazers, We can do it!

 

[Strenuus]

The streak is still alive. lol. I don't put much stock in streaks like this (a lot of variables) but this is crazy.

 

[LayneStaley]

I wonder what a dame/pg/nurk team woulda played like

 

[Jade Falcon]

I turned it off after that Paul George steal. When the other team has 6 players in double digits, and you only have 3, combined with that many turnovers and missed FTs, then you're not going to win.

I feel like I should be mad at Stotts for this loss, but this was a team loss. Nobody else but Dame, CJ, and Nurk stepped up.

 

[illmatic99]

What a stupid foul by Westbrook

 

[riverman]

Off of absolutely terrible passes.

They just beat us...they played a hell of a game...we gave them long bricked 3 rebounds and they got 30 pts or so off of them..they just outplayed us...execution

 

[ripcityboy]

Well. A team that will be a bad matchup for us in the playoffs and one we will do absolutely nothing differently next time we play them.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Our starting forwards have a COMBINED two points. Two. Can't win with that.

 

[KingSpeed]

Get the Suns and it was a good road trip.

 

[riverman]

Well. A team that will be a bad matchup for us in the playoffs and one we will do absolutely nothing differently next time we play them.

We make shots and we could have won this game

 

[Darkwebs]

I hate losing to douchebags

 

[LuckyShot]

Westbrick is still a piece of shit.

 

[DDolla]

Glad we won yesterday.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Westbrook was the LEAST involved person on that play, yet he puffs his chest out as if he did something great.

 

[riverman]

Get the next one....Go Good Guys! Shoutout to OKC....they beasted

 

[LuckyShot]

Typical game for us this year on 2nd of road back to backs. Not focused enough to win. Of course it seems every one of those games has come against a playoff team too... We stayed in this one longer than normal though.

 

[LayneStaley]

If I was Dame I’d hate RW too

 

[ripcityboy]

We make shots and we could have won this game

You think they are going to come any easier next time around.? They are going to make things just as hard on Dame and CJ next time. We aren't Golden State.
