[riverman]

We got this! Send these guys fishin' next qtr!!!!

 

[RSC60]

Fuck Paul George he’s such a fucking liar he’s shoulder is perfectly fine

 

[BlayZa]

could be shoulder n thigh.

fuck paul george as well with that last shot.

 

[rotary111]

CJ's turn in the second half!

All rested up and ready to run them into the ground.

 

[Rhal]

Worst case to end the half, lane vioaltion to take away a FT and they hit a 3. Oh well we take a lead into the half after the Thunder shoot probably the best they have ever shot since KD left in a half.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Fuck paul george

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Well, so far my keys to the game have been accurate. 24 minutes to win and advance, 24 minutes of the hardest basketball you can play, men! Go Blazers!

 

[VenomXL]

What a crazy first half. Let’s see what the second holds.

 

[julius]

Hood + Turner ... 1 point combined. $25-30 millions in salary? We can do better than these 2.

Hood doesn't even make/cost the team 2 million, Turner makes 18. Where did you get the extra 5-10 million?

 

[kingslayer]

In addition to Dame's superhuman first half, major props to Seth and Kanter for showing some fight.

 

[Strenuus]

Man this is going down to the last shot.


Fucking let's goooo!!!! We got the lead!!!!

 

[riverman]

I feel like we've played 3 qtrs. by halftime

 

[hoopsjock]

Aminu has a lane violation that not only costs us a point but changes where OKC lines up for the out of bounds and they get a 3 out of it.

FUCK

 

[Darkwebs]

We can't win this if it's just Lillard. Another Blazer must show up in the 2nd half.

 

[LuckyShot]

Thing is, they literally couldn't have gotten off to a better start, and other than Dame we couldn't have been much worse that first quarter. Seems to be a theme this series.

 

[PCmor7]

We couldn't play much worse in the first half. OKC couldn't shoot much better. The officials killed us on a bunch of calls.

We're still ahead.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Why does the yahoo box score say 60-60?

 

[crandc]

Once again, every imaginable thing goes wrong including leaving Paul George wide open. But all they have to do is tie second half and Enes can rest his shoulder a few days.

But fuck, can't it ever be easy?

 

[GhostOfPGA]

It’s CJ’s turn to make a positive impact in the second half, you know he is just a powder keg ready to explode.

 

[EGame]

If we just tighten up our defense we are good.

 

[DUB]

With CJ sitting with 3 first quarter fouls, Dame played all 24 first half minutes.

 

[kjironman1]

Kanter went straight to the locker room.
What are they saying on tv?

 

[joeBlazers]

OK. 20 millions. 1 point combined in a pivotal game? You can't be defending these guys ...
Please, play Jake ...

Hood makes 2 million, Turner makes 18. Where did you get the extra 5-10 million?

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Why does the yahoo box score say 60-60?

Nevermind

 

[riverman]

We can't win this if it's just Lillard. Another Blazer must show up in the 2nd half.

CJ will be well rested and able to finish the game with 3 fouls coming out of the break...Curry is ballin'...

 

[bobf]

Watch the replay on that call on Chief. He never even went into the lane. No Blazer did.

 

[Strenuus]

We're winning this!!!! I know it.

 

[Chris Craig]

What does Damian have to do to get a call? Refs have been swallowing whistles...three fouls on McCollum in the 1st quarter? Refs been fucking us all night...yet it doesn't matter...Blazers lead

 

[BlayZa]

does this handstand guy do every half time? y-a-w-n

 

[Wade Garrett]

We can't win this if it's just Lillard. Another Blazer must show up in the 2nd half.

Usually I'd agree with that.
