GAME THREAD: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - FEB. 11, 2014, TUESDAY, 7:00 PM, NBATV & CSNNW

[B-Roy]

God damn Damian was 1/7 from three tonight. His three has deserted him.

 

[Wheels]

If his vagina is so sore, he should have just taken the night off, we'd have been better off without him. MVP, best power forward my ass. He's back to being the same old LaMarsha....

 

[MadeFromDust]

Doesn't look good. 6 or 7 seed and a first round exit. Sad.

Is that better or worse than we predicted before the season started?

 

[craigehlo]

I think the starters are just tired. We need a bench ASAP.

A bench? We need a more consistent starting 5.

 

[riverman]

Thunder have a superstar. We do not. That was the difference. We do not have one of the two best players in the league.

Guess that's why we beat them twice this season

 

[KingSpeed]

Thunder have a superstar. We do not. That was the difference. We do not have one of the two best players in the league.

Slow down. Aldridge scored 38 points in a win over Thunder earlier this season and you called him a superstar. He just had a bad game but he's a top 5 player in the NBA who is tired and was questionable to play tonight.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Tomorrow must win game at this point?

Watch him win the 3 point contest lol

 

[MadeFromDust]

Our starting 5 looks gassed, otherwise they would be more efficient like they were earlier in the year.

 

[KingSpeed]

Most people here said it would be a race for 8 seed. Nate said 5 seed. I said 3 seed. Aldridge said 7 seed.

 

[craigehlo]

LA is a top 5 player? WTF?

I doubt anyone called LaMarcus a Superstar. He is a star but there are only a few Superstars per generation (not even per year).

 

[illmatic99]

Just sux that I gotta get up in 5 hours. I hate these west coast home start times!

 

[KingSpeed]

Tomorrow must win game at this point?

We're not going to win tomorrow. Clippers can't wait to beat us.

[ripcityboy]

Well. I have to say we are at least doing better than I thought we would! Let's hope for better luck after the break.

 

[KingSpeed]

Natebishop did. After the Thunder game. And after the 30/20 game against Houston on TV. Durant has bad games too. Look at last year's playoffs.

 

[Wheels]

L......O......L!

 

[craigehlo]

Our starting 5 looks gassed, otherwise they would be more efficient like they were earlier in the year.

You can limit all the starters to 5 mintes per game and they aren't shooting like they were early in the season. That ship has sailed. We need less reliance on the jumper and more plays in the paint.

 

[BBert]

Our big 3 (LAM/Dame/Wes) combined to shoot 12-47 (25%) and took 55% of our shots. How did we only lose by 3?

Looks like Batum and CJ had nice games (except the turnovers: yikes).

Sounded like Batum played stellar defense too, and Fropez was a man again.

I thought Nico, CJ, or Lillard should have taken that last shot. Definitely not LaMarcus, especially if he has a sore hammy or groin or whatever.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Natebishop did. After the Thundeer game. And after the 30/20 game against Houston on TV.

Then he was mistaken.

 

[riverman]

Total nonsense, fair weather fan meltdowns are what we're better off without. LaMarcus is an amazing player..he had a bad game so you throw him off the bus. Real insightful stuff.

 

[tlongII]

We need a backup center.

 

[Strenuus]

Doesn't look good. 6 or 7 seed and a first round exit. Sad.

One game on the bandwagon, one game off. Next win we get, youll say contender. Just choose one already.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Blazers are the only team to beat the Thunder twice this year.

 

[Hey]

How many games are we going to chalk up as "they were tired"? That's total bologna

 

[KingSpeed]

LA is a top 5 player? WTF?

Most people have Aldridge at 3 in the MVP race. It's true. He just had a bad game tonight but he's had a great season.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Missed the game just saw final update on ESPN app, just stopped in to say fuck.

 

[MadeFromDust]

That's a legitimate reason for poor shooting. Players get tired and banged up having to carry such a heavy load all season. We as fans look at these guys as superhuman.

Durant is scoring 30+ practically every night, you don't think he's tired?
