Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 1: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - APRIL 14, 2019, SUNDAY, 12:30 PM, ABC

[RSC60]

Dame has not been great so far. Goddammit, I'm beyond sick of him playing like shit.

He’s not really good in the playoffs it hurts to say but he did start off well in the 1st

 

[illmatic99]

Need to come out smokin hot from halftime and get some separation

Or just play smarter

 

[Pinwheel1]

Yeah this not look good. Westbrook is totally working the refs as he walked off the floor. He will get his calls late in the game..... or he will get thrown out.

 

[Labinot41]

Great 1st quarter, bad 2nd quarter. We need to go back to our energy from the 1st. 6 point lead is not enough against this team

 

[riverman]

No we didn't he missed a shit ton of open shots. Moe's was amazing on him til he picked up fouls

couldn't disagree more...we've made life tough on everybody but Adams so far...Mo frustrated the hell out of Paul George...we just couldn't shoot 2nd qtr...gotta own the 3rd

 

[Natebishop3]

Dame wonders why people discount him and this is why. Right here.

He looks asleep.

The regular season is great, but the playoffs are where legends are made.

 

[MightyMouseOps1]

We would be up 15 if we didn’t keep turning it over endlessly.

 

[LuckyShot]

Yeah this not look good. Westbrook is totally working the refs as he walked off the floor. He will get his calls late in the game..... or he will get thrown out.

If we aren't losing by double digits, he and George will shoot more FTs than our entire team.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

4-11 shooting. Not good enough.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

I see someone blaming Dame did this poster not watch 1st Q ? -- It seemed like everyone thought the Thunder would roll over and play dead and got sloppy this is a WHOLE team issue not Dame.

I can’t defend this shit anymore man he’s my favorite player but I don’t know how to continually defend his playoff performances

 

[riverman]

We would be up 15 if we didn’t keep turning it over endlessly.

This and long rebounds...quick deep shots..need to get to the line. (fixed)

Um he completely gave all that back and more in the 2nd quarter

 

[TBpup]

I don't see anyone blaming Dame, but I do see people wanting more than 4-11 shooting with more TO's than assists.

That seems fair.

 

[Labinot41]

Dame had a great start, wtf happened since then ??

 

[DDolla]

Well...the Blazers played a fucking terrible quarter and are still ahead. Bodies well for the 2nd half

The bad news is: Russ and PG13 1-7 behind the arc and just down by 6

 

[illmatic99]

4-11 shooting. Not good enough.

Playoff Dame

 

[kjironman1]

gave all that back and more

No he didn't.

 

[Shaboid]

Turnovers and free throws. That is what let them back in.

 

[KingSpeed]

Relax

 

[TBpup]

This and long rebounds...quick deep shots..need to get to the line..we also missed 8 free throws so far

Don't trust the #FakeNews. Blazers 9-12 from the FT line.

 

[KingSpeed]

The bad news is: Russ and PG13 1-7 behind the arc and just down by 6

Actually 1-10

 

[kjironman1]

Seems like this is more about people dropping passes than Dame. Literally hitting guys in the hands and they are losing the ball.

Glad they have the lead but they need to keep playing tough defense and clean up the turnovers. Curry needs more looks.

 

[BonesJones]

Relax

 

[Labinot41]

We can not ask for more, OKC is missing everything, if we loose this game, it's going to be a sweep.

Its "Lose". Honestly just trying to help.

We didn't play great. Many areas we can shore up.

 

[andalusian]

He got hit in the face twice, that's what happened. Hopefully the half will allow him to refocus.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Well...the Blazers played a fucking terrible quarter and are still ahead. Bodies well for the 2nd half

Unless George starts getting hot.

Right now I don't like that Aminu, and Kanter and Hark have 4 turnovers. They can't put the ball on the floor without someone slapping it away.

 

[KingSpeed]

Good news. CJ’s better.

 

[kjironman1]
