Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 2: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - APRIL 16, 2019, TUESDAY, 7:30 PM, TNT & NBCSNW

[joeBlazers]

Westbrook only needed 4 turnovers to get his first triple double of the post season. What a looser.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Certainly not the way he played.

Collins just isn't strong enough to play against Adams. If Kanter is unavailable, Meyers is absolutely the correct choice in this series.

I'm half expecting a "Meyervelous" account to pop up shortly...

 

[beast blazer]

I think cjs 3 at the end of the half was a huge emotional shift. It deflated thunder, who had been leading the whole. Half

watch out for those Austrailian land birds...Cassowary...they've got some samurai sword toenails

I have my own wildlife to watch out for here in Florida....haha

Colin Cowherd's "OKC in 5" isn't looking too good right now

More Cowherd: "Vegas was drunk (line was Blazers by 1)." "No way they shoot 15% from 3 again" "I'm going all in and putting all of money on OKC tonight."

Fucking loved this sequence:

 

[wizenheimer]

well, the wife had a night out so I was home alone and I spent quite a bit of time jumping up from edge of my chair in the 3rd and 4th Q yelling out loopy rah rah shit but it felt great. Like an idiot I even think I fist-pumped a couple of times.

might be the best combined game of Dame-CJ in their time together considering the stakes. When CJ has a game like that it makes it harder for OKC to scheme the next game if they are thinking about trying to blanket Dame. And I'm all for life being difficult for the Thunder

Meyers had a good positive impact to go with his usual collection of great and confused facial experessions. I'm worried about Kanter's wrist though

the darkhorse player of the game was Mo. 14 points and 9 rebounds and it was the aggressive Mo on both ends. When the Blazers get that version, they are tough to beat

finally, these two home games have to have been great entertainment for Jody Allen. The atmosphere of The Moda has to have impressed her. I have no clue what she's planning for Portland but tonight, I'd bet she's a big Blazer fan

 

[noknobs]

It's games like this that make me baffled when people want to trade CJ.

More Cowherd: "Vegas was drunk (line was Blazers by 1)." "No way they shoot 15% from 3 again" "I'm going all in and putting all of money on OKC tonight."

He even tried to flex on his pick early in the game.



If you're gonna embarrass yourself, may as well go all in, amirite? His twitter mentions tonight are worthy of the "Other side" thread.

 

[Chris Craig]

Fuck yes. I stayed up late for this on east coast time and have to get up for shorebird research in 5 hours. So, glad the Blazers took care of business.

Rest well friend

 

[Pinwheel1]

Great job by CJ on the boards too. He was credited with 8 but I think he actually had 9.
Hark with another great game.

Adams is good, but he is not the rim protector he should be for his size.

 

[LayneStaley]

I also change my mind, I wanna keep Curry(More than Hood).

Having 3 guards drilling 3s is pretty awesome.

 

[illmatic99]

Dude, you have to be prepared. You'll learn. This is what I did:

I was home with my 2 year old today. She's at that awkward time where she's usually not tired for a nap but if she doesn't get a nap gets super cranky. My wife has a rule that she needs to be awake by 3 if she does take a nap so that she'll go to bed at her normal time. Well today I could see her rubbing her eyes acting real tired but she wouldn't go down for a nap. Around 4:00 I snuggled with her on the couch knowing she'd fall asleep. At about 5:30 I started making dinner and was "surprised" when my wife got home that she was asleep on the couch. So she slept until after 6 ha ha ha ha ha. When it was time for bed she wasn't tired and there was no way she would go to sleep so she got to stay up with me! My 6 year old is a heavy sleeper so I didn't bother him at all. I scared her a few times yelling but most of the time she was laughing and high fiving me. She has no clue what was going on but you could tell she was happy that I was happy. Anyway, no worries about waking her up tonight!

Take note rookies, that’s how you Dad.

Rip City
OKC is going to lose game 3!

 

[Strenuus]

watch out for those Austrailian land birds...Cassowary...they've got some samurai sword toenails

One of those birds just killed someone in Florida.

Legit scary.

In australia if there's a fire, they are told to shoot those birds because they can wreck havoc.

They also can go up to 31 MPH in dense forest. Pretty much a velociraptor.

 

[H.C.]

Now I was told.
Melo was the problem for OKC last year.
It's what I was told on this forum so it must be true.

 

[Labinot41]

FUCK YEAH BOYS !!!!!

 

[EGame]

Now I was told.

Well he was a problem for sure. Now there problem is Paul George is the only one that cares and he isnt 100%, rest of the team is not good, and westbrick just cares about himself.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

its 130 and im sitting here watching postgame. can't sleep. have to be up by 7

I also have to be up by 7 eastern time. Eh, who cares. I'm enjoying reveling in the joy of tonight's beatdown.

 

[LuckyShot]

@RSC60 is Tunchi if you want caught up.

I can tell. Only takes about 2 posts to see that kid coming.

 

[James lamphear]

One thing about the playoffs it shows you who to keep next year. It shows me who going step up in big games. I am not big fan to Leonard but I have to give him kudos tonight though. I thought Zach step tonight from bad showing in the 1st game. He did great job rim protecting tonight and blocking 3 shots.

 

[Hoopguru]

Now I was told.

Besides PG they don’t really have 3 point shooters and the game today requires it!

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Hmm.. weird... I saw the lightning, but no thunder. Hmmmm...

It’s so funny, one of my three year old twins keeps inadvertently calling them the lightning.

 

[James lamphear]

All Turner has to do is face up.
Whats Felton going to do lol.

Your right but it's not his game face up.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I love Ernie, but he needs to not try to argue with Chuck about barbecue. He's far out of his depth.

 

[42N8Bounce]

My ears are ringing.
My voice is gone.
My hands are sore from clapping.
The Blazers win.

Consider the day seized!

 

[Labinot41]

OKC fans on the german nba page are on a huge meltdown. They'd like to get swept, to fire Bill D, to Fire Sam Presti, to trade the entire roster and start rebuild. We know how that feels
