Thunder @ Blazers 2/9/10 GAME THREAD (1 Viewer)

[noknobs]

Webster, Blake, Bayless, and Rudy don't have a FG between them. But yeah, lets blame Aldridge.

 

[Nikolokolus]

That's funny, ESPN lists him as our top performer with:

9 Pts, 6 Reb, 4 Ast, 3 Stl

Why do I get the feeling that if Batum posted a similar stat line in the first half 90% of the posters in this thread would be gushing uncontrollably about what a complete player Batum is?

Aldridge does it and he's a waste of space.

BNM

Part of LMA's problem is that he puts up numbers but never really seems to dominate when he does it ... the bigger problem is that he does it early but struggles late.

I dunno, he's no star, but I still like him for what he is.

 

[Blazer_Hippie]

He's always been a little streaky, but he seems a lot more passive this year for some reason. He must miss his 'lil buddy Chacho.

Ahh yes...the glorious "Spanish Connection"....errr..."Spanish Armada"...not that there's anything wrong with that. Sergio has really exploded in Sacremento!

Webster, Blake, Bayless, and Rudy don't have a FG between them. But yeah, lets blame Aldridge.

He looked really passive early on, but OKC was really making an effort to deny him the ball, the second quarter was a lot better when Miller started getting things clicking and Nic started to draw so much attention.

Webster, Blake, Bayless, and Rudy don't have a FG between them. But yeah, lets blame Aldridge.

Blake is actually having a pretty decent game.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

So we start Blake for Batum instead of for Webster and that was.. an unfortunate decision.

 

[noknobs]

Blake is actually having a pretty decent game.

Aldridge has 9/4/6.

Webster, Blake, Rudy, and Bayless are a combined 0/4/2.

But yeah, let's blame Aldridge.

 

[Darkwebs]

Dang. Hope Webster's not injured

 

[Nikolokolus]

Man I hate to see a guy get hurt, but it looks like Krstic did what Nate wouldn't with Martell -- take him out.

 

[mrkorb]

I feel injured just watching that fall. Ouch.

 

[Blazer_Hippie]

Aldridge has 9/4/6.

Webster, Blake, Rudy, and Bayless are a combined 0/4/2.

But yeah, let's blame Aldridge.

I didn't blame Aldridge... I just don't think the finger should be pointed at Blake either. He has been a positive this game.

Looks like Webster is out now...

 

[Sean.ivity]

Brutal

 

[Darkwebs]

Great D by Batum and Howard on that possession

 

[Sean.ivity]

games getting a little wild.

 

[craigehlo]

Can anyone make a pass? Embarrassing.

 

[Darkwebs]

Howard with a nice feed to LMA for the dunk inside

 

[Sean.ivity]

nice.

 

[Darkwebs]

hell yeah! Miller with a stutter move to get to the rim and score. And we have the lead finally. 53-51.

 

[Blazer_Hippie]

A couple good offensive possessions in a row!

 

[BlazerBeav]

It's amazing that we're winning despite our awful outside shooting. If we could only knock down a few jumpers, we'll really be in business.

 

[The Sebastian Express]

Martell just needs to not be playing in this game.

 

[craigehlo]

Stop shooting 3s. Please.

 

[mrkorb]

Cunningham aside, our bench is a combined 0 for 11. Ick.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Rudy and Webster are KILLING us. Sheesh. Andre, LA and Dante are having to do it all right now.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Cunningham aside, our bench is a combined 0 for 11. Ick.

Yeah, I was just looking at that ... and they aren't taking good shots either.

 

[Blazer_Hippie]

Stop shooting 3s. Please.

1-15 from 3 at this point...wow!

 

[craigehlo]

This is a bad lineup out there for the Blazers. All streak shooters with cold hands.

 

[Sean.ivity]

Yea im not liking this line up at all right now.

 

[craigehlo]

Rudy is killing us on both ends of the floor.

 

[Darkwebs]

Sloppy play. We can't hold onto the ball and we can't shoot from range tonight
