Game Thread Game #53 - BLAZERS VS OKC THUNDER - FEBRUARY 4, 2022 - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

I think Simon should have missed the free-throw intentionally. If OKC makes the two free throws at the other in the game is over.
And we have no timeouts.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Simons is not Dame.

 

[illmatic99]

gorgeous play. good look. thought ant had that

 

[Tince]

Man, OKC did SO many things wrong in the last 10 seconds!

 

[TBpup]

Battled....but lost a close one. #DingDongPingPong

 

[wizenheimer]

OKC did just about all it could to hand the game to Portland

CJ and Nurk combined for 33 points on 43 shots

 

[DUB]

Good play. Bad luck Ant.

Yet after OKC missed the first, they should've missed the second on purpose. Instead they give us a great look to send it to OT.

That's what two teams trying to lose looks like!

A competitive loss. What a lot of Blazers fans are hoping for.

 

[PCmor7]

Another game where Ant hasn't looked like anything special.

You’re right

 

[illmatic99]

They actually played best when CJ and Norm were out ....Norm for personal reasons and CJ for collapsed lung...so I don't think that was when we had great ball movement...it's when Ant beasted

you mean when we had a normal sized sf instead of our midget lineup?

 

[blazerfan11]

Bad shooting night for CJ and Nurk. And what happened to Ben McLemore? 0-7.

 

[Chris Craig]

Nurk getting outworked

Yeah he sucks

 

[Freshtown]

Nice. I hope we lose every game the rest of the season.

 

[TBpup]

Another game where Ant hasn't looked like anything special.

Playing next to MeJ will do that.

 

[Labinot41]

Keep losing

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Honestly hope that was Nurk and CJ’s last game for us. Nurk 6-19???

 

[Chris Craig]

Trade them both

 

[illmatic99]

I'm starting to understand Norm's "out for personal reasons" stretch was him quietly asking to get him outta here

no he had some family issues. he didn't want to elaborate when asked.

i don't think norm is the kinda character to pull something like that.

 

[illmatic99]

Playing next to MeJ will do that.

cj had nothing to do with some of ant's misses and turnovers, come on now.

 

[illmatic99]

Yeah he sucks

he's disengaged again. can't really blame him given the circumstances. we're clearly tanking.

 

[DDolla]

Guys, if I’m a rich owner and I have Dame. I will pay any luxury taxes and help build a team with Dame.

Thunder 96, Blazers 93
After making a terrible trade the Blazers lose for the 2nd time this week to the Thunder and have gone fully into tank mode. Come talk about the game and the trade with us.

Me either.

He’s not going to sign a $90 mil deal and then pull that shit.

I think he did and I think it's why Ant isn't going to do as well next to Dame as he would if he were playing PG. CJ had high usage tonight and it didn't allow Ant to really get into a groove. Ant also acquiesces to CJ and I'm sure he'd do the same with Dame but Dame would get him more involved than CJ does.

 

[MickZagger]

Nice. I hope we lose every game the rest of the season.

Samesies.

 

[Strenuus]

Nurk way too inconsistent game to game to ever even be close to a max contract.

 

[MickZagger]

Honestly hope that was Nurk and CJ’s last game for us. Nurk 6-19???

Hey now. The thunder have some bigs.
