Game Thread GAME# 68: BLAZERS @ THUNDER - MARCH 14, 2016 - MONDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

"World renowned hand balancer" LOL. Thats who they have at halftime.

 

[KingSpeed]

Russ: 18-11-9
Dame: 7-3-1

Just on another level

Dame outplayed him last time we played them. And this ain't over. OKC is awful in second halves this year. Especially fourth quarters. Let Westbrook get his triple double. We'll take the win.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I think the exhaustion is finally getting to Dame and this team. And it couldn't come at a worse time.

 

[KingSpeed]

God I hate Aminu's shot.

He's the one guy making them.

We get lots of rest after this road trip is off. Lots of home games. Lots of easy to beat opponents. We're good.

Rooting for that. But 0 indication of it.

Especially with Terry's inability to make meaningful adjustments in games

I can do a thing with my hand....but it's not appropriate to discuss here.

I can take one game and look at numbers too.

Westbrooks 28-15-9

Lillard - 31-9-7

We won.

It's freaking one game. LOL.

People forget simple things around here, it seems. lol.

It's one game. (Cue the obligatory "it's been a pattern" post.)

(This is not directed at you KS, I am in agreeance with you.)

Russ is really taking Dame to the woodshed. He looks like the best player in the NBA right now I mean good god. We need to seem some fight in the 2nd half, some of these open shots will go down but the big guys just look pathetic against Adams, Ibaka and Kanter. Even Kyle Singler looks to be on a higher level than a few Blazers. Kyle Singler!!
Need to see some leadership from Dame right now, he doesn't look like he came to guard Russ and that sets a tone for the rest of your team. When your best player doesn't show up, that sets an example. This trip isn't going to get any easier and you need to put that half behind you and start competing with this team. Right now you're just getting your asses handed to you.

 

[illmatic99]

Halftime show was shown on league pass

 

[KingSpeed]

Please. He adjusted to Durant playing PF and replaced Meyers with Harkless to name one adjustment.

I agree. But as far as our Bigs are concerned...it's not all of them. It's just Meyers. Plums and Davis are doing the best they can, but they're only two guys. Plums is trying his best to pick up the slack from Meyers. But again: he's one guy.

I hate Meyers so much. I just snort whenever he makes that rare 3; I can't even get excited anymore.

If Olshey doesn't cut bait with him at the end of the year, I'll be calling for him to be tarred and feathered. I'll bring the torches, if someone brings the pitchforks.

3/7 FG and 2/6 3PT. Whoop whoop.

I just hate that rainbow release.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Oh good for him. One move. Too bad he's about as consistent with making adjustments as Meyers is at being a basketball player.

 

[illmatic99]

Still can't get over the halftime show. holy shit

 

[Elton]

It was pretty impressive.

 

[Tunchi]

It's all good guys it'll be worth it in June

 

[Strenuus]

Championship confirmed.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Oh yeah. Gonna draft the next Michael Jordan, huh?

Snort.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Why don't we have a cute lady reporter on our team?

Sly, fix this. Get us some wimmenz.

 

[illmatic99]

Man we suck ass

 

[SIeepwalker]

It's just sad now

 

[Strenuus]

Refs have stopped reffing apparently.

How about Candace from 'Women and Women First'?

 

[Strenuus]

Well, if worse comes to worse... more Connaughton time. lol.

 

[KingSpeed]

Man we suck ass

No we don't. We're just struggling a bit. We won by 37 two nights ago. This happens sometimes. It's a fluke.

No SNL tranny castoffs. We can do better. This is Portland; find some bitch with a nose ring and tats.

 

[Strenuus]

Get it down to 15 and we have a shot against the weak-minded OKC team.
