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

They've been good at playing up on us. Even LMA's made J's have been contested. Really, it's Kaman/Lopez/LMA-down-Low who've been dominating.

Well, yeah... Steven Adams is a Stiff's Stiff.

Because we can't ignore you, can you please refrain from going full Chicken Little Concern Troll on the board? Or relinquish your mod role? Either one is fine with me.

I don't think chicken little would say "get your shit together". They'd be like "ZOMG, THIS TEAM WON'T MAKE THE PLAYOFFS1!!11!"

Saying that the team is playing like shit, hasn't show they gained knowledge from what happened against the Spurs and that they shouldn't be half assing it on defense (I don't mind their offense, it's their defense that is bothering me) isn't really something a "chicken little" person would say.

 

[riverman]

Again, we're a second half team. Lillard, Batum are both 2nd half scorers. Down 5, we're going to make a run here

 

[riverman]

Wheels just mentioned 8 lead changes and 8 ties in the first half. It's not like we're getting blown out and we shot 24% in the second qtr

My bad; maybe taking a look at 24 minutes and saying WE'VE LEARNED NOTHING THEY ARE SHIT is a bit premature... more like the boy who cried wolf than Chicken Little.

 

[KingSpeed]

I still submit that we can give RW 60 and hold them to under 100.

Me too

Aldridge looked angry on that walk to the locker room. Dame aint happy. I ain't worried at all

 

[BrianFromWA]

Actually, Dame's a 39% shooter after halftime, and a 45% shooter before. He shoots more (about .25 shots per game) in the 2nd half, though.

Guh, Hubie. Dame's been "Leonard" and "Dillard" tonight.

I wonder if Stotts went "OMAHA!" on them at halftime.

 

[KingSpeed]

It's weird, everybody has been short for the most part. It almost looks like they're a team on game six of a seven game road trip instead of a team playing its home opener. LA came to play and Kamn looks pretty good, but that's been it so far.

What about us?

Signed,
Wes Matthews and Robin Lopez

 

[BrianFromWA]

Kaman's knocking as well.

 

[Sinobas]

Come on Wesley....

 

[KingSpeed]

Lopez is quietly having a very good night.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I think attacking the hoop would be good. Dame needs to shoot a couple FTs. They've got 9 players...get some of the bigs in foul trouble--they can't hang with LMA or Lopez or Kaman.

 

[EGame]

lol

 

[Sinobas]

What a letdown for our opener.....Batum and Lillard.....

 

[EGame]

again lol.

 

[riverman]

Damian is playing like shit

 

[Natebishop3]

He just drops, no contact, and they call the foul. It's hilarious.

 

[BrianFromWA]

"The fans can't believe the OKC patchwork had 54 points at halftime"
"We've seen RW put on one of the best shows we'll see all year long".

Hubie pimpin' the script. Well done. Take professionalism to spout like that.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Lillard scored.

 

[BrianFromWA]

There. We. Go.

 

[KingSpeed]

Finally.

 

[Nikolokolus]

What about us?

Wes Matthews and Robin Lopez

They've been OK, but nothing special.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Tweet it and he shall score.

 

[EGame]

there we go. he needs to stop chucking 3s for the night, though.

 

[VenomXL]

My favorite player is Nic Batoon.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Lillard to LMA to Batum... 3pts!
