Game Thread GAME# 81: BLAZERS @ THUNDER - APRIL 13, 2015 - MONDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), KGW & NBATV

[KingSpeed]

Meyers Leonard leads in scoring, he has out score all the guards and small forwards on the team. However the guards and small forwards have taken 2.5 times as many shots!
WTF?

Leonard is one of the best shooters in the NBA.

 

[MarAzul]

Leonard is one of the best shooters in the NBA.

Send a memo to the guards.

 

[AussieBlazer]

Who do we get in the first round if Spurs, Clippers, Rockets and Grizzlies all finish on equal wins?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Leonard is one of the best shooters in the NBA.

If he was a Rocket I doubt you'd be saying that

 

[PDXFonz]

Tweaked left ankle. Which foot was the bad one again?

left lol

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Portland G CJ McCollum (left ankle amputation) will not return.

 

[S550]

Wow Kanter is nice

Legit LOL then Sob

 

[blue32]

man.......... So is Lillard taking the night off?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Cj is injured

 

[S550]

God defensively we are garbage

 

[blue32]

We need to be more patient when setting screens. come on boys!

 

[S550]

Wow Kanter is something else. None of our bigs can't touch him or stop him

 

[MAS RipCity]

Why in the flying FUCK are they still playing Lillard and giving Steve Blake the night off?

 

[DUB]

Could we put Gee on Westbrick?

Looking at it, Lillard needs the practice against the elite guards. He's getting phased out by OKC defense. (trapped on baseline) again.... But without LMA, we need him to score...

Give 'em both the night off. But Stotts has Lillard leading the team in minutes played because that makes sense for a meaningless game.

Thats what teams do when LMA isnt playing. Just trap Lillard all night long and it works because we dont have anyone to step up right now.

 

[blue9]

Could we put Gee on Westbrick?

We did. He did the best job we've done on him. But he's played too many minutes already.

 

[S550]

God we have no paint defense at all

 

[DUB]

We did. He did the best job we've done on him. But he's played too many minutes already.

He's only played 11 minutes. Crabbe has played 23.

Maybe we're saving it for the 4th, so Westbrick keeps chucking, and doesn't have time to adjust.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic.

 

[blue9]

Damn, if Meyers can learn to play solid man defense he's our PFoTF.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I'm liking Frazier!

 

[KingSpeed]

Leonard is amazing.

 

[DUB]

Frazier is the best passer on the team.

LamBeibs is the best shooter on the team.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Leonard is amazing.

Settle down, boy.

 

[blue32]

Am I seeing a little home cooking from the refs?

 

[KingSpeed]

We're fighting out there, but OKC needs this more than we do so I'm not worried.
