Getting off S2 for the second half. Venting on the forums isn't helping my wife not be mad at me for getting mad at a game i'm not playing in lol.

 

[LuckyShot]

This game was over before we boarded the plane.

Staying with OKC was the best thing PG ever did. I don't think he'd be putting up this kind of performance if he went anywhere else.

 

[TBpup]

Dame/CJ....5-25
Rest of team....11-21.

Wonder if Stotts pointed that out.

Probably not....

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Here's an idea.
Shorten your rotation.
Starters: Nurkic, Collins, Jake, Hood and Dame. Gives you a lot of size and a couple guys who can stretch the defense.
Then your main bench guys are Aminu and CJ then depending on matchups, or foul trouble you sprinkle in Curry and ET I guess, even Meyers may get a shot here and there. Dame and CJ together get abused on defense too many small guys the offense can always find a matchup to exploit. Aminu and Moe are too inconsistent on Offense they can't really get played together because the spacing is just bad. CJ's minutes should be down to about 25-28 minutes a game. He may even finish a lot of games, but you want to limit how much he and Dame are out there at the same time.

You don't need to go 10-11 deep every game.

 

[TBpup]

Mo with the 'Jarrett Jack' play.

 

[James lamphear]

Some of you guys making excuses for Dame and CJ shooting to much but I tell you it doesn't matter who you put out there still going shoot that much and CJ is worst then Dame.

 

[TBpup]

Why is Dame guarding PG without even a switch?

 

[SynTax]

Hood's defense continues to look decent. I'm not sure if it's a honeymoon period, because our scheme suites him well, or if I'm just used to watching CJ, but his defense on PG has probably been the best of any of our players.

 

[Jade Falcon]

7 points and 4 fouls. I don't wanna hear one bit of trash talk from Nurk on Twitter tonight.

Not. One.

Maybe instead of CJ chucking every time down the floor we should get nurk in the post one of these days

 

[TBpup]

It's like CJ is just flaunting how many bricks he can jack up knowing Stotts won't do A DAMNED THING!

 

[B-Roy]

They are calling this super tight like playoff defense. And we are crumbling.

I have no hope for this team in the playoffs, especially if they keep playing the useless bros at forward and the chuck bros won't stop chucking.

 

[BonesJones]

Watch our off ball player movement when they trap. There is none. And we keep setting up top pick n rolls ever possession. I swear we set more ball screens when we're getting trapped.

Chuck Bros.....nice.

 

[B-Roy]

3 fouls in one possession. What in the fuck.

 

[BonesJones]

THESE FUCKING REFS

 

[jonnyboy]

Foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

OKC in the penalty in less than 6 minutes.... That's not home cookin'

 

[TBpup]

OKC actually has more fouls called against them.

 

[LuckyShot]

OKC actually has more fouls called against them.

They also foul a lot more.

 

[LuckyShot]

These refs are a joke.

 

[wizenheimer]

Dame is having a bad game and getting no calls, but he's working his ass off

 

[Chris Craig]

OKC actually has more fouls called against them.

On the floor fouls

 

[TBpup]

They also foul a lot more.

I agree. So then the Blazers need to be more aggressive because they won't/can't call everything.

Hood got destroyed by PG in the first. Are we watching the same game?

 

[B-Roy]

CJ ARE YOU KIDDING ME. MISS AN OPEN LAYMAN TO TAKE A JUMPSHOT AGAINST 2 PEOPLE

 

[TBpup]

CJ just missed a WIDE OPEN Jake on a cut for what would have been an easy dunk..

That crap really pisses me off.

 

[The Professional Fan]

OKC still doesn’t have a jersey sponsor

Dick losers

 

[TBpup]

Blazers with a 28-21 FT advantage. Not sure how the refs are screwing us THAT much.
