It was really funny that after admitting that the refs gave the Blazers all kinds of breaks in the first half,. they still complained about the calls the Thunder got. I suppose the Thunder have to go the whole game without a free throw for some fans to be happy. I’ve highlighted my favorites in bold. What are yours?
- Normally I would expect a loss, but the Blazers seem to have some kind of magic in the Rose Garden right now. I guess they have to lose a home game eventually though.
- Durant seems to not try too hard against Portland it seeems but expect westbrook to go off tonight against lillard
- Sefolosha and Ibaka both out tonight. Interesting.
- without ibaka, durant and westbrook will almost literally have to score 50 a piece to reach 100 today. no worries…we got this
- There’s actually a distinct possibility that they both do.
- Ibaka out? Hmmm…I’d rather have Westbrook out. That guy always kills the Blazers.
- Having no Ibaka certainly helps our case to win
- Durant hasn’t been a Blazer killer… Westbrook has
- Its strange. Blazes have been getting lucky this year Zbo was out with Memphis. Klove was out with minn.
- Its almost like the gods want us to win this year :D
- Or maybe they just got bored stepping on our hearts And are finally just leaving us alone.
- If the gods really want us to win this game… they’d take out Westbrook and Durant. I hear the flu is going around…
- Their two key bench players will now be in the starting lineup Nick Collison and Kevin Martin
- Deandre liggins is starting….. I’ll ask it for you.. “Who?”
- OKC not having Ibaka actually takes away from their offense And if Aldridge gets either Perkins or Collison in foul trouble. They arent deep with bigs
- I see the Zombie Sonic fans are still in full force. Next year I-5 rivalry reignited!
- Collison looks like a late night TV host
- LIGGINS FTW That was DeAndre Liggins’ first three-point make of the season.
- like we need another Blazer Killer.
- Martin flopped twice in a f***ing row. Officials didn’t give his flopping a** a call.
- They need to call a technical on Martin for these two consecutive flop attempts.
- I hate Kevin Martin’s game.
- Floppy flop McFlop. I also really can’t stand Kevin Martin.
- I love when Thabeet plays
- Westbrook is cold, but I don’t like him along side Durant. He doesn’t understand the PG position playing along side a Super Star. Never should he attempt more shots in elimination games like he has the past two playoff seasons.
- Oh look, Durant shooting free throws.
- I know. let’s foul Kevin durant…that should work
- His arms will get tired from all the shooting. That’s when we make our move.
- Westbrook not passing to wide open Durant….Yeah bro…
- Westbrook is probably my least favorite player in the NBA The way he can take a game away from his own team is middle school basketball-esque.
- Every time I see Thabeet I swear it looks like the bird of paradise crapped in his hair!
- Whoa, whoa. No way they can challenge Thabeet or Perkins. Those guys are, like, the most dominant interior defenders in the league.
- I hope this team doesn’t end up in the Finals. Which is really sad since it means I’d rather see the Clippers.
- It really disgusts me how Durant gets breathed on and it’s a foul, while Aldridge can’t get a call to save his life.
- I hope westbrook takes that jumper all night
- That Martin guy will flail himself a few fouls
- Still can’t believe OKC landed PJ3 at #27.
- Talk about a steal
- Because it’s OKC… i’m pretty sure they sacrificed someone to the Basketball Gods.
- The entire city of Seattle?
- Offensive foul on Durant! For the first time in history!
- …And Batum is not Kevin Durant…
- I thought Batum is an All-star this year. What happened?
- Durant is better than all-star
- These OKC broadcasters are annoying
- Are they as bad as their PA guy at home games? I hate the overly obnoxious yelling PA guy fad. OKC seems to have initiated that trend.
- I just hate the noises that come out of OKC
- That was a BS call on Durant. He didn’t foul Batum.
- You better believe there will be make up calls Durant and Kevin Martin especially will get a lot of BS calls
- After they got a closeup of that non-foul on replay I suspect he’ll get the benefit of the doubt all second half now. Wouldn’t be surprised if he finishes with three fouls.
- Once again Westbrook puts his team in a hole
- I like to call it Westbrook’s “Yolo mode”
- Let’s hope Westbrick keeps jacking up crappy shots and ignoring Durant, who appears to be on target tonight.
- I still laugh how Westbrook usually takes more shots than Durant.
- Westbrook is like the dumbest star in the league today.
- Question of the day: Without Kevin Durant on his team, how good is Russell Westbrook?
- Considering he ignores durant so often anyway Still pretty dang good
- Would be the unquestioned center of the offense, without having to answer questions about why he doesn’t pass to KD.
- Ill take it even further. WIthout officials, how good is westbrook Considering he has NO outside shot and 75 % of his shots come at the foul line. I’d say he’s an elite athlete, but average basketball player
- Thabeet just used his height to do something for once… I wish he did that in Portland.
- He sucks overall so I don’t even care about that
- Both PGs have been terribad.
- At least dame isn’t shooting the team into a loss a la westbrook.
- Turns out that durant is a better shooter than westbrook
- Looks like the refs are helping the thunder now
- Refs gave us a lot of help in the first half. We are just completely out of sorts against this vaunted Thunder defense.
- Leggins or whatever his name is open every time
- He should be. Kevin Durant and Westbrick demand a lot of attention.
- I wonder how many MVP awards westbrook is going to cost KD
- Refs have decided to call it OKC’s way the second half.
- Of course. They’re the new golden team.
- Gotta say the Thunder play good defense.
- OKC makes everything look good. Even Thabeet would be nice for our bench this year.
- Durant reminds me of George Gervin- The Iceman.
- Eject Westbrick!!!
- WAIT! We need his terrible shooting, it’s our best offense!
- OKC scoring seems so much easier than ours
- Because they’re way better than we are.
- Durant is amazing.
- Why are those fans high 5ing him??? Seriously that has got to be one of the worst things i’ve seen at the RG.
- Maybe it’s an OKC fan.
- There are a lot of OKC fans at the Rose Garden from the look and sound of it
- They would be a pretty easy team to root for if I weren’t already attached to the Blazers.
- I find them hard to root for
- Yeah, if I didn’t hate their guts so much they’d be one of my favorite teams
- Durant is so good that it’s annoying
- This just in: KD is one of the two best players in the world.
- Is there something wrong with Durant’s feet tonight? I’ve seen him trip about 4 or 5 times tonight.
- he’s still growing into his body?
- They’re sore From running all over the Blazers as if they were a treadmill.
- Growing pains… He could get taller. he’s only 24
- That is what happens when your legs are 75% of your height.
- They have to take Westbrook out just so Durant can touch the ball. What a hog!
- Why do I get the impression that the reffing is always a little different than normal when Blazers play OKC?
- I hate watching the Blazers play OKC Mainly because I hate OKC and they usually beat us
- Yep, refs have made it clear that you won’t play physical with durant in the 4th tonight
- Westbrook is the most anooying thing to look at in the NBA
- The Thunder are lucky they have not experienced what the Blazers have, with all the injuries.
- The Thunder are lucky in general I can’t think of one bad thing that’s ever happened to them
- They live in okc
- Westbrook 5-20… Ball hog?
- I like how he turns and taunts the crowd on a 5-20 night.
- Every foul Perkins gets, he acts like someone just killed his cat
- He seems like he is always mad
- He must be fun to be around
- No one ever hugs him.
- Why are you hugging Durant Batum?
- He wants to steal some of his basketball skills?
- I’m more pissed that the fans court side are high fiving him after a made shot. Wtf is that?!
- Durant makes every defender look dumb.
- Shut the F*** up Westbrick. Durant and the refs bailed your dumb a** out.
- Refs coddling this f***in team. Gimme a break
- A turnaround fadeaway jumper?!?!?!?!?!?!? ON PERKINS of all people in the nba. Sometimes I wanna slap LA. Take it to the basket LA. No more of this soft stuff…….
- …that’s, probably, the best team in the NBA and we had our chances even shooting terribly.
- Despite K Mart being a bit of a chucker, OKC is a great, great team.
- We got beat by OKC because even without 2 starters, they’re a better team. Surprise!
