GAME THREAD: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - 12/4/13, WEDNESDAY, 7 PM (PST), KGW

LaStudent is now LaMaster.

38 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 0 turnovers!! LMA is a straight up superstar, for tonight at least.

Too bad this game wasn't in front of a national audience. On the least coast, it's as if it never happened.

 

[julius]

Westbrook needs to mature a TON. The whole stretch where the Blazers switched Wes onto him and he reacted, pretty much was the end of his significant impact on the game. He had more points, but it was that the hectic manner that he sometimes plays.

I think the Thunder would be better off trading Westbrook, and inventing a time machine and getting Harden back

 

[BBert]

YOU CAN'T SPELL C_C_SU_KER WITHOUT OKC

hoop fam

LOL. I wonder if I could get a sign like that into the MC, and on the big screen?

 

[BBert]

That last play was priceless. Westbrook trying to draw the foul and Wes just stays with him. Props to the refs for finally not giving him the star treatment

Yeah, who did he think he was there, D-Wade?

 

[BBert]

I'm no expert, but I think it's gotten in his head a little too and he looks like he might be forcing some of his shots. He looks better when he slows down half a step and just takes what the defense gives him. I remember last year that all the "experts" praised how he played his own pace and didn't let people rush him, but I think he's pushing/being pushed a little at times this year. That's just how I feel about him so far this year, but overall he's still key to helping us win games. We would be screwed without him. The team runs much better when he's in the game.

Hypnosis would calm him down and get him back in touch with his inner self. I'm serious. Or TM, if he has time for that.

 

[BBert]

If I worked at ESPN I'd ask Kobe how the bench tasted.

 

[BBert]

In all seriousness I wonder how much better this team can become with CJ and further development in Dame and TRob.

In all seriousness...wow. Dame can play and shoot better. I have to believe he will. My hope is that TRob continues to improve throughout the season and is able to contribute positively in the playoffs. And CJ...If healthy, he could still be a terrific 6th man...but time is running out on getting him the burn he'll need to learn the game. He's had a lot of down time in the last year with two foot injuries....

So... that was pretty fun. Nice to actually watch a game for once

Has LMA been attacking the rim like that all year? I noticed him attacking when he would have settled for a jumpshot in years past. Wasnt sure if that was an all year thing or just him feeling hot last night.

Hope not.

So, I guess next time a woman offers you a blow job you will of course say no?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Just wish MGB could have seen the game and this season.

MGB's got the best seat in the universe now, no doubt about it.

Depends on the woman, whether she respects me, things like that.

I'm not smart enough to understand the connection/your analogy, but I appreciate the mental image.

Lamonster comes out when you disrespect his boys. After Westbrook told lillard "don't be scared" lillard drew an outstanding offensive foul, then big LAddy turned on the heat.

Connection was using the term "cocksucker" as an insult. So since it's such an awful thing to be, none of you straight boys would accept such a woman. Kind of what I was referring to when I said the board is more fun now ... but there are still exceptions.

Don't worry bro, we get the Dallas game on Saturday too!

If Rondo gets healthy they should seriously consider trading Westbrook for Rondo. But I don't want them to do that.
I think Westbrook had nearly as much to do with our win as we did.

It is odd that such a wonderful thing is a demeaning insult in certain colloquial contexts. I don't make the rules.

It could mean both. I would take it as a compliment, but with OKC it is definitely an insult. lol

And Durant still almost made that 3 to cut it to 1, we make two ft's and then they make another 3.

It was not a dagger, but it sure as hell helped.
