Gamethread: OKC v. Blazers

[The Professional Fan]

Don't know if you're talking about that last fast break blunder, but that was Batum, and he hasn't finished twice on the fast break so far. We've missed several right at the rim...

No, not that play. Just in general. I see him dropping or floating or scooping the ball in the hoop when he should/could hammer home a thunderous dunk. I think he does it quite often.

 

[Wheels]

nice energy to start

 

[RoyToy]

Basically the starting 5 rocks.

That and Ibaka/Collison > Krstic

 

[The Professional Fan]

Uh oh. Batum.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Fuckin' DRE!

 

[The Professional Fan]

Nic looks ok. Phew.

 

[The Professional Fan]

God damn Durant is fucking awesome.

 

[Wheels]

Miller, thank you for making that 3.. now never try that again lol.

 

[cdub503]

Is Rudy still too hurt to play? What is with us trying to return players who are hurt still....

 

[Wheels]

Martell: "No Mr Durant.. I insist.. after you"

 

[Wheels]

Right between KD's eyes.

 

[Darkwebs]

Roy at the buzzer! Big shot by him. Martell is killing us on both ends.

 

[ehizzy3]

wow we needed that

 

[TripTango]

Two or three?

 

[RoyToy]

Increased the halftime lead.

This game is an example of why LMA drives me crazy. He is the best low-post threat we have, and through 3 quarters he hasn't gotten to the line once, and his rebounding is lackluster....and this is against a team that often plays small. Dude needs to get it in gear.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Damn, Eric Maynor is fast.

That has more to do with not being able to put the ball on the floor and get to the hoop, not so much about posting up.

Amare, Dirk, Bosh, etc, they put the ball on the floor and get to hoop, a lot of times they are fouled because they're hard to stop, much like SG's and SF's.

 

[The Professional Fan]

How bad is Webster? Man....this guy is done in my book, and I used to be a huge proponent of his. I will freely admit that I was DEAD WRONG.

 

[FeloniusThunk]

Nobody on the Blazers is getting to the line, and not altogether for lack of trying. Despite 10 less FTs though, they're still ahead. Good shooting and patience is working.

 

[RoyToy]

That little sequence was huge.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Why does OKC get to just ram our guys in the shoulder when they're dribbling without a call? Jeez, it happened three times in two possessions.

 

[RoyToy]

Camby and Miller in soon please.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Make that 4 times in 3 possessions. WTF?

 

[The Professional Fan]

Bayless lol

Mike Rice: "they're gonna come at you like fries.....on whatever."

Dude is hammered. I swear.

 

[ehizzy3]

uck

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Roy's shots are killing us.

 

[Rhal]

Durant has more free throws then our entire team now... How many blatant no calls are we going to see this game? We have only had 1 free throw this entire secound half.

 

[Darkwebs]

Big play by Roy to draw FTs and get the 5th foul on Green.
