Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 4: BLAZERS @ THUNDER - APRIL 21, 2019, SUNDAY, 6:30 PM , TNT & NBCSNW

So, the short story of the Shootout at the OK City Arena last night is that Marshals Dame and CJ shoot a lot straighter than the Westbrick Gang.

I think this is very much the case. Never saw Paul like this before joining Westbitch.

What if OKC decided to go in "a different direction" after three first round losses; would we be interested in George, could he mature better here, what would it take, is it even possible?

He's too expensive and Mo is good fit for Dame.

If the Thunder were insane enough to deal George for expirings plus prospects and/or picks, you do it in a heartbeat.

Meh. Keep the picks. Olshey is good at drafting.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Watching Dame/CJ postgame then Russ/PG.... it's night and day.

We're lucky to have those great guys and not the 2 immature fucks

He gonna draft a player in the 20's that's as good as Paul George? Not likely. Hell, when he had the chance to draft Paul George, he didn't draft a player as good as Paul George.

He drafted Aminu. Scoreboard!

Scoreboard!

Can’t wait to read this thread. What a W!

Looks like Dame has more fans in OKC than Westbrook does

Ebola has more fans in OKC than Westbrick does right now.

He's a great player, but is he 'winner'. Does he have the mental approach that would allow him to assimilate into the Blazers culture? Would he defer to Dame as the true leader of the team? I'm not sure any of those are a yes.

Yes, he'd be great in Portland. He has openly deferred to Russ, referring to him as "our leader." He only gave the stupid "Next Question" comment because Russ used it like 3 times right before that.
Russ = poison.
Lillard = antidote.

 

[Blazers Roy]

Those last few minutes were scary!
OKC were in the bonus, then the refs called two bullshit fouls on Lillard to put us at the bonus and Lillard at a position of 1 foul away from fouling out. Then the officials basically decided that every foul on OKC will be called but nothing will be called against them. Lillard drives to the basket and gets hammered=nothing, PG or Russ do the same = direct foul call.

I strongly believe the fix was in play for this game as well, but this time it was only apparent in those last minutes.

Props for CJ, i'm proud to be one of the only fools here who believed in him thus far.

I think he is a follower, so yes he would defer to Lillard. Appears as if he works very hard on his body and his game. He appears to play without fear. I think he would fit in OK.

Uh......new betting odds can't come out fast enough.
