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

[riverman]

well not the start of the 4th I was hoping for

 

[BlazerBeav]

ET trying a behind the back dribble in traffic = less than ideal.

 

[ripcityboy]

That defense has been eating us alive all game. They are completely in control.

 

[LayneStaley]

This isn’t looking good

 

[BonesJones]

You gotta love how this team shrinks and folds against pressure defense. Its pathetic.

 

[KingSpeed]

OKC is good

 

[BonesJones]

0 ball movement, 0 productive player movement, super sloppy with the ball.

Do we have 20 turnovers yet?

 

[Strenuus]

Meyers just tried to screen CJ. *sigh*

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Starters: holding on by their teeth
Bench: big negative +/-

For those who are on here way too much, this is what I was talking about.

 

[twobullz]

They should give CJ a goal of getting a assist in this game.

 

[TBpup]

Fuck you Felton, standing and cheering the entire time lol

He just keeps ordering pizza and knows it's coming.

 

[H.C.]

ET trying a behind the back dribble in traffic = less than ideal.

That was on ET and Nards tho.
ET should've accepted the screen, but Nards brought a second defender to the ball only to stand and watch because ET was attempting to go one on one.

 

[LayneStaley]

I wish we had an enforcer

 

[Jade Falcon]

OKC is playing better Defense than Utah did.

Seriously considering turning this game off.....

Teams I don't want to see in the playoffs: Utah, Golden State, and OKC.

Pressure Defense: Synonym of Playoff Defense.

 

[JDC]

Guys starting to try and do it on their own. Not going to win that way.

Credit to the Thunder though. They've been excellent defensively all game and hitting big shot after big shot.

 

[ripcityboy]

Three fucking tips and you ca 't get it in?

 

[BlazerBeav]

Good Lord, Nurk needs to dunk that.

 

[riverman]

Nurk with a nice 20ft jumper

 

[LayneStaley]

I’m not a fan of the ivory towers

 

[TBpup]

Jake is getting held on almost every cut now. He is going to have to accentuate the contact or teams are going to keep doing that trying to slow him down.

 

[riverman]

LILLARD TIME!

 

[Strenuus]

How Nurk... How?

 

[ripcityboy]

Donovan totally ate Terry's lunch today. And he probably did it with Pitino's own play book.

 

[TBpup]

5 point game.....come on!

 

[JDC]

Way to respond

 

[LayneStaley]

Here we go fuckers, Dame time

Streak is gonna end, I feel it

 

[riverman]

Gut check time...this win is an important one

 

[KingSpeed]

7-0 run. Good coaching getting Dame and Nurk in there earlier than usual. We need this one.
