Game Thread GAME# 57: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 27, 2015 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), ESPN & CSNNW

[riverman]

Oh we can comeback but Stotts lately has not done a great job of adjustments. We'll see more of the same and pray that Westbrook becomes shitty in the next 24 minutes.

I've got faith in the coach and the team

 

[DUB]

UGH! I really wish they could just shut the announcers the fuck up. So frustrating!

I wish all broadcasts of all sports had the option to mute the commentators, and just listen to the game.

Also, it's ESPN. You know going into it, everything is going to be dumbed down to the lowest common denominator/populist viewpoint.

According to them, whatever's good for the highlight reel, is an accurate reflection of the game.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

When's the trade deadline? We need to get some new players!

 

[riverman]

I'm out of here. Go Blazers! Hope we win by 20!

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Oh imagine that first topic of half Time is westbrick.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Mitch would've been a lotto pick if it weren't for his back injury and weed issue.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I'm out of here. Go Blazers! Hope we win by 20!

Later RM! Enjoy the game, Go Blazers!

I feel like this team is in basketball purgatory. We're good, just not THAT good. We need another all star level player that can create for himself and those don't grow on trees sadly.

 

[ripcityboy]

Man. If we go up against Dallas, Houston or the Spurs and then face OKC, in the playoffs. Toast!

 

[H.C.]

that ball was clearly headed out of bounds. we would have had it under our own basket with that 1 second.

After a made basket.. When the in bounding team, in bounds the ball and no player touches it. The defending team gets the ball @ the spot of the in bounds.

 

[Rhal]

I just got to halftime on my DVR. Blazers missed so many easy shots, about every 50/50 ball and refs werent calling much even if there was a ton of contact.
Thunder played about as well as they could and we really sucked, i expect a very different game after half time.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Sigh..,

I'll bite my tongue...

 

[Monkeyman]

I wish all broadcasts of all sports had the option to mute the commentators, and just listen to the game.

That would be heaven. Too bad they tried a thing like that where their were no announcers back in the day and too may people complained that they couldn't follow the game. It was a football game, but it still applies.

Arron Afflalo could be that guy, the he needs to be more involved in the offense.

 

[KingSpeed]

And to think I picked Wes and Nic to outscore Westbrook ..that's not happening

It's still could. Wes scored 16 in the 4th qtr on Wednesday.

 

[Boise Blazer]

But the bigger problem is Anthony Morrow. 4-4 13 points in 13minutes and 50 seconds.

I was just getting ready to say, "him let's see we are down by 12 and Morrow has 13. Pretty sure that is the difference even if Westbrook was going off"

 

[HailBlazers]

Yea the D (or lack thereof) on Morrow really killed us.

 

[ripcityboy]

Arron Afflalo could be that guy, the he needs to be more involved in the offense.

A STAR, not a guy who hits the ocasional three and can't play d.

 

[Rhal]

3-13 from 3, thats really bad id expect we hit a few more in the second half.
Im not really worried i still think we win this.

 

[julius]

Man. If we go up against Dallas, Houston or the Spurs and then face OKC, in the playoffs. Toast!

If they keep playing like this, they might not have to worry about playing the Thunder in the 2nd round.

 

[KingSpeed]

Will Barton 22 points tonight

 

[julius]

A STAR, not a guy who hits the ocasional three and can't play d.

so, who is that guy on the Thunder? or Warriors?

 

[KingSpeed]

Thunder still have to worry about making playoffs. Pelicans are the hottest team in the NBA right now.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

sounds like some of you are ready to throw in the towel...

 

[BBert]

That would be heaven. Too bad they tried a thing like that where their were no announcers back in the day and too may people complained that they couldn't follow the game. It was a football game, but it still applies.

I remember that.

What would be great in this case is if the announcers would CALL THE FUCKING GAME AND STOP GOING ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON about SHIT THAT ISNT THE FUCKING GAME.

Is that to much to ask?

 

[julius]

Will Barton 22 points tonight

In a loss. At home. To Utah.

 

[DUB]

In the Australian Football League (Aussie Rules) for one game every week, they do have the option to mute the commentators, and just listen to the sounds of the game. It almost works, but you still have to listen to the umpires (they're mic'ed up, and you hear every word they say).

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Jesus christ the ball hasnt been passed in yet and they already talking about westbrick

 

[DUB]

I remember that.

What would be great in this case is if the announcers would CALL THE FUCKING GAME AND STOP GOING ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON about SHIT THAT ISNT THE FUCKING GAME.

Is that to much to ask?

On ESPN? Yes.

 

[kingslayer]

Sigh I was hoping Matthew's hot streak would continue

Edit: and he hits a 3! wooo lol
