GAME THREAD: BLAZERS @ THUNDER - DECEMBER 23, 2014 - TUESDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), CSN

[Darkwebs]

Christmas came early, cuz this win was a gift. We had no right winning it. But Lillard happened.

 

[EGame]

buy that man a steak dinner for christmas btw

 

[blue32]

WOW! GREAT ViCTORY!

I must admit, I thought we had given up, but I see it was a master plan of the team to lull the Thunder to sleep while we melt their faces in OT.

 

[BBert]

Can someone give the Aldridge - Ibaka blow by blow?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Damian is beyond clutch.

 

[riverman]

Great road trip

 

[Sinobas]

This was one of the most epic road trips in Blazer history. It should get it's own nick name. A triple OT victory against the Spurs, demolishing NO, and getting back from 10 down with 1:35???? How the fuck did that even happen?

 

[EGame]

man i wish we had a shot of westbricks face at the end. hes gotta be just as salty as ibaka. 3-1 on a tough, tough roadtrip is great! Phenominal really.

 

[BBert]

Final score? Killard stat line?

Thanks.

 

[illmatic99]

Dame throwing up the #lillardtime after is gold

 

[EGame]

if they won 3 of 4 they get christmas day off. Stotts should make more challenges to them.

ESPN shows:

"Lillard, Blazers Win OT Duel

Russell Westbrook's 40-point night was upstaged by Damian Lillard, whose late heroics lifted Portland past OKC"



Um, hey, Lillard hit 40 pts, on better shooting.....jackasses.

Heart.

And a COLD blooded one Damian Lillard.

It just looked like they were hooking arms and then Ibaka pushed a little to hard and then LMA came back with a harder two handed push, but the "blows" we're open handed and bent elbows the whole time on both players. It wouldn't surprise me to see them get a game or two suspension just because they kept it up into the seating area before it broke up. Not no punches or anything like that. I suspect one or two games for both.

There is not any player in the league that can hang with Dame in the clutch.

God forbid anyone break a nail

 

[BlazerCaravan]

LA wanted to throw one; you can see him cock back but not deliver.

 

[Further]

Thanks!

I kinda agree, but I also understand they have to draw some sort of line to protect the fans. Once they cross into the crowd I don't see how the severity of penalty doesn't increase. Hopefully it's just a fine, but under stern I would have bet on a suspension.

MVP!

Ibaka pulled aldridge over and said "cough on me, I can't take playing with these guys anymore, I need a break."

One pg got 40 on 21 shots, 11 ast. Coin over 50 cents, almost 2 points per shot.
