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

[James lamphear]

Good close in the QT. The good thing we have won all 3QT in the first 3 games.

 

[Rhal]

I just rewound that, Ferguason catchs the ball takes a step and Dribbles before the clock starts. Thats some come cooking there.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Oh no, Lillard sucks, Blazers suck, everything sucks!

11-0 to end the 2nd quarter?!??

Everything still sucks.

Everything still sucks.

Thunder in 4!

 

[riverman]

Poised...great resilience to finish the half ahead...! Dame showed a lot of control there to finish the half and CJ got us back in it earlier! Go Blazers!

 

[illmatic99]

Dame needs to get this going. I can't believe we never attacked Felton. This team is just braindead sometimes about going at particular matchups.

 

[EGame]

Shh. Let us post emotionally in peace.

 

[Wade Garrett]

Feels like we're down 15...
Geez if Dame gets it going.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Harkless, Turner and Hood seem to have "big game" jitters. Consider not playing ET and Hood. Play Aminu entire second half. He should be playing 40+ minutes every game.

 

[LuckyShot]

Bruh, we played like absolute dog shit on offense and are leading by 4 LOL. Our defense was very good at times, but we also fell completely asleep for some stretches. Crazy.

 

[wizenheimer]

Grr

yeah...sorry about that Layne....I was excited

 

[Lukee]

Dame's playmaking underrated

 

[DDolla]

Looks like Dame heard us all in here. I expect and big 2nd half from him.

 

[Cugel]

Seth continually makes very smart defensive contributions. Let him shoot

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Lillard, 7 assists, +11.

Still doing nothing.

Still sucks.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Feels like the Blazers missed so many wide open shots.

 

[DUB]

Chief having a good game.

11 pts @ 80%, 100% 3P%, 3 reb, 1 stl, 0 to

 

[Titan]

Nice that we have a lead, but our play from the perimeter is so bad, when they double we just keeping passing to another guy on the perimeter and wait to long to feed the open man under the hoop.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Time to create some open looks for Curry.

I don't think that is in our playbook.

 

[BonesJones]

The biggest issue I have with Stotts offense right now is it relies too much on ball handlers creating something out of nothing as well as our forwards hitting 3s. Sure, it looks good when either of those things happen, but when they dont, Portland has no other answer.

 

[crandc]

Every imaginable thing has gone wrong and Blazers still up four at halftime.

Just wish I wasn't so fucking sick.

A Blazers win could help. At least I would be happy and sick.

 

[KingSpeed]

Aminu really does up his game in playoffs. It's uncanny. So clutch. I have no idea what happened to Turner since those back to back triple doubles.

 

[riverman]

Feels like the Blazers missed so many wide open shots.

We missed a bunch of bunnies at the rim...fortunately they shot bricks in transition

 

[Chris Craig]

Lillard, 7 assists, +11.

Still doing nothing.

Still sucks.

Good stuff. Dame knows he is not going to get the call...passing to open guys

 

[DUB]

Given how badly we’ve played, I have no idea how we have the lead.

 

[B-Roy]

Dame needs to get this going. I can't believe we never attacked Felton. This team is just braindead sometimes about going at particular matchups.

Stotts doesn't attack matchups.

 

[LuckyShot]

Westbrick going to see that his stats at halftime show he's chucking shots at a bad rate again and that Dame had more assists. Watch him start passing up good shots so he can hunt for his triple double stats lol.

 

[illmatic99]

If Evan Turner even sniffs the court this half, I'm gonna fly out to Portland for game 5 and tie his arms and legs to the bench before Terry can put him in next game.

 

[illmatic99]

I wish these guys would stop jinxing us

 

[Ripcity4life77]

I am tired of people getting on Dame -- to those people you do realize without Dame this team would prolly not even make the F'ing playoffs -- smart people who i thought were smart ( looking at you pup ) are falling into this too. However i know why fans are so touchy cause we realize next year more then likely will be rough with Kanter , Curry , Hood and maybe even Aminu leaving via FA and then add the fact Nurk prolly will not be back til new year of next season.

Just relax and take a deep breathe --
