GAME THREAD: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - 10/29/14, WEDNESDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), ESPN & KGW

Sebastian Telfair and Steve Blake are on the floor. It's 2005 again.

So far, and I know it's early, but so far this game is suggesting they didn't learn anything from the San Antonio series.

Let's see how our bench does before saying that. A big part of it is our bench helping rather than hindering.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Rice is drunk early. "Mike Conlin" Jesus.

 

[BrianFromWA]

lowering D from 102 to 94 ppg? Seriously, Hubie?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Oh Nic.

With the way Portland is playing...

Only 3 teams had scoring defense under 97ppg last year...CHI, IND and MEM. None of whom, iirc, won the championship.

I'm sitting next to David Mackay of the Rip City Project, he looked over on my screen and saw your avatar. He told me that he's the one who made it and is really happy that it
caught on like it did.

Small world.

 

[KingSpeed]

Aaron Sorkin wants to talk it over with his team.

Aaron Sorkin is at the game? Huh?

 

[BrianFromWA]

LMA is lighting Perkins up

 

[KingSpeed]

Aldridge on fire

 

[julius]

Imagine how bad this game would be if LaMarcus wasn't scoring.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Dirk-ish Heat Check. 15 now.

 

[EGame]

we would be dead without Aldridge - only one who came to play thus far.

 

[KingSpeed]

Aldridge going for 60?

Wes played well

 

[VenomXL]

34 points is unacceptable.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Not a very good qtr.

 

[illmatic99]

Who the hell is Lance Thomas?

 

[magnifier661]

Where would we be without lma?!

 

[BigGameDamian]

34 points given up.

 

[TBpup]

So much for that Blazers defense. OKC with 2/3 of a team and still put up 34 points.

 

[KingSpeed]

I love that Blake shot that, lol

 

[Darkwebs]

LMA is carrying us. Someone else has gotta step up

 

[EGame]

looking at you Dame.

 

[Sinobas]

I think Stotts needs to hire a defensive coach and get the fuck out of his way.

Tell him thanks and sorry I didn't give him credit. I just found it online somewhere

Defense will come with timing and in game adjustments. We can't discount it until there is a larger sample size

 

[KingSpeed]

Calm down guys. Our D will tighten up as the game goes on. I don't think the Thunder have 100 points in them.

 

[BrianFromWA]

How much rest is he going to get? Played the entire first...give him 4 minutes off? 6?
