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

[KingSpeed]

Losing is an excuse. We hung our heads against two teams--Brooklyn and Utah--where we possess superior talent. All because we chose to sit a few guys. And in terms of OKC, they shouldn't have a chance of making the playoffs with all of their injuries. Yet Westbrook has put that team on his back. I'd like to see Dame do the same for us.

As for my "excuse" it was no such thing. We've played like pussies since we lost Matthews.

I was at the Brooklyn game. No one hung their heads. Lillard and Leonard played some of their best basketball of the season. We just lost to a Brooklyn team that is playing great basketball. No one, not the coach or players, made excuses after the game. And we have had some great wins against desperate Pelican and Sun teams without Wes. Are you watching the games? We haven't played like pussies. At one point WITH Wes we lost 11 of 17 games.

 

[KingSpeed]

Yeah, not worried at all about not having LA play these games - he's our leader and nothing if not consistent - having him primed for next weekend is a good plan.

Definitely. Aldridge is gonna dominate when the playoffs start. He knows it and Stotts knows it.

 

[magnifier661]

Can't wait for the playoffs to start

 

[PDXFonz]

OT: Someone should bump the predict the wins thread. I'm not having any luck finding it... I think I predicted 56 wins.

 

[KingSpeed]

Michael Wilbon on PTI said the Thunder are gonna win by 40 tonight. Huh?

A homeless guy downtown San Francisco said he once saw a man eat an entire footlong sandwich in 5 seconds.

I'll take that bet.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Refs are already killing us early - the fix is in.

 

[S550]

Kanter is so nice. Very gifted offensive player

 

[VenomXL]

Westbrook is barking in the first quarter. I find that very annoying.

Six offensive boards for them. That's rough.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Oohhhh Westbrook with the important first quarter 3 pointer nods his head like it was the game winner. What a stud!

 

[S550]

God Blazers are just so soft

 

[VenomXL]

Blowout comin.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We've got the Thunder just where we want them!

 

[S550]

Mark my word Blazers won't do shit in the playoffs. They have absolutely have no defense anymore..

 

[VenomXL]

Oh for fucks sake.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

"I was in this anonymous sports forum and I told them to mark my words. And I think they did because I can still read my post."

 

[PDXFonz]

Well....

 

[Boise Blazer]

How many of us said to rest Batum, Lillard and Lopez? This is why

 

[VenomXL]

Nic to the locker room with a non contact knee injury.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Fuck me. Why is it always us?

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Fuck. This. Season.

 

[VenomXL]

This season can suck a dick.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We should trade OKC our playoff spot for their lottery pick.

 

[Blazinaway]

LOL, no shit, this is a story that keeps getting worse and worse

 

[PDXFonz]

Is there any chance that his injury is no big deal?

 

[Blazinaway]

Is there any chance that his injury is no big deal?

lets hope, I did not like the way he tried to walk/hobble off the floor

 

[VenomXL]

Is there any chance that his injury is no big deal?

He stayed on his feet so maybe that's good?

 

[S550]

We weren't gonna do nothin anyways with batum or without

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Well. That could have gone worse. Conceivably....
