GAME THREAD: Blazers @ Thunder 3/27/11

After seeing 7 minutes of a match up?

Haha. Ok.

Um yeah, he was being pushed around

"Haha"

 

[The Professional Fan]

And now we get to hear them discuss the Knicks and Bulls for no apparent reason.

It's amazingly sad noticing the marketing of the league these days. On the ESPN broadcast this is obviously "THE OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER!!!!!!!!!!!!.... (whispers vs... the Blazers). That sweet Roy to Aldridge pass to a dunk... that barely got a comment from the announcers, but anything that the Thunder does is treated to homer over-enthusiasm by the supposed national announcing team. Fucking sad.

It's not surprising. Let OKC get all the hype though, I'd rather go under the radar and shock the league in the playoffs.

If the 4-5 matchup is Oklahoma and Denver, Denver will win.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

OKC is the better team and has a top 3-5 nba player on their team....

of course ESPN would pump them up

If the 4-5 matchup is Oklahoma and Denver, Denver will win.

I will take that bet any day

Um, yeah, LA has 6 and would have had 8 but Miller's pass went in the hoop on its own. Let's stop the panic mode posting.

Um yeah, that was after McMillan made an adjustment and Perkins was no longer guarding Aldridge

K thx

Roy having to bring the ball up the floor every time is taking away from his game.

 

[alex42083]

Good move by B-Roy, even if it was in slow motion.

 

[XXPrimusXX]

Oh shit. The OKC Free Throw parade is rolling into town.

Interesting how Van Gundy said he doesn't think you can win an NBA title with Gerald Wallace as your SF.

 

[The Professional Fan]

OKC fans are the best in the NBA? Hm.

 

[julius]

I think if he's your best player, Van Gundy is correct.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

I think he said at the 4

 

[KingSpeed]

Wow. I don't think I can stand a whole series of the announcers making love to the Thunder. If we face them, we MUST defeat them or it will be the most humiliating series since we got swept by the Lakers in '02.

 

[illmatic99]

Way too many unforced TOs. Rudy looked like he was about to kill Nic right there.

 

[KingSpeed]

Interesting how Van Gundy said he doesn't think you can win an NBA title with Gerald Wallace as your SF.

I missed that. What was his reasoning?

 

[julius]

OKC fans are the best in the NBA? Hm.

David Stern: Let's jack off the Thunder fanbase even more!

 

[The Professional Fan]

I wonder if the team has to import their cheerleaders from Texas?

 

[james3921]

"hi, i love the thunder and would give fellatio to westbrook and durant if they asked" -everyone at espn

 

[XXPrimusXX]

ESPN's promotion of OKC is borderline falatio.

 

[james3921]

"not to mention serge ibaka... is this guy great or what?"

 

[julius]

They don't seem to be in the game much.

 

[james3921]

i liked the little soundbite where they ask kobe what he thinks of the thunder. so insightful.

 

[The Professional Fan]

This game is irritating on so many levels.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Why did Dre fall? Haha. Funny.

 

[julius]

Seems like a lame "clear path" call, imho.

 

[KingSpeed]

Geezus Gerald Wallace is good

 

[KingSpeed]

TWO Thunder highlights going to the break??
