Tonight. Big time. Another big game (front page of ESPN.com) against a city that shouldn't have this franchise....and they get embarassed. Oden no-shows once again, someone please light a fire under the blazers ass. Sure, we're in the playoff hunt but this kind of shit shows why we're just not on that next level yet. way to represent the PNW hosers.
Frustrating loss, for sure. But I have been coming to this site less and less, because of threads just like this. I thought I'd give it another try tonight, maybe to discuss what went wrong, and sure enough...the first thread I see is entitled "Blazers Suck". This is the best year we've had in a long, long time. And yet I can't find a site to talk about it that doesn't sicken me with negativity!

We'll be fine. We're young and we're going to have these kind of games. I'm confident we'll get rolling soon.
Cute. They disgraced the Northwest. Clay Bennett = lighting a fat cigar tonight. No excuse to lose to this team, especially given the history between blazers and the sonics.
look, this is the first game in what should be a big rival right now for the blazers. this is like losing to a Lakers team..but one that SUCKS. We have a history with this team and it sucks to lose to rivals that are terrible, have a terrible record and have lame people in the stadium cheering. makes me sick. no excuse to lose to the god damn Oklahoma City Thunder.
Please. The Thunder are riding high on a little run here, but they are a lottery team for the foreseeable future. Tell me this: would you trade teams with OKC right now if you could? You're nuts if you say yes. Tonight's win didn't make Clay Bennett any happier than other recent wins -- he already got what he wanted. Let's see how many cigars he'll be lighting in a few years when Durant has jumped ship and his shanghaied team is crossing its fingers for another lucky lottery break, trying desperately to break even once the honeymoon is over.
Its what he's best at. I'm having flashbacks to his days BBF when he would post about 20 baiting OT threads in a day.
I don't give a shit about in a few years. I'm fully confident the Thunder will suck for a long time and their fanbase will wander and flutter away. You said it yourself. They are a lottery team. I can't tolerate losing to a lottery team, no matter the excuse. Add to that we have somewhat of a rivarly and need to get some revenge for our Northern Neighbors in Seattle, we fell flat on our face to a bad team.
This loss definitely stings a bit (and my blood pressure was not good during the game), but I don't think it's time to panic. Looking at the big picture, we are 30 and 19, which is nice. We are in the hunt for homecourt adantage in the playoffs. So far, the Blazers are surpassing my (and many others') expectations. I hope our guys and Nate can learn from this loss. We need to start the game with that sense of urgency that we've showed in the 4th the past 3 games. I'm looking forward to the Knicks game to see how we respond to this loss.
We'll win, but not because we're more prepared or anything. Only because we'd be at home, and we play extremely better at home.
It was a bad loss from start to finish. I can understand the emotion from fans. It's not a big deal to me. It's the NBA. These things happen. Call me in a week if it's a 5 game skid.
I'm not panicking. we are at a good record, but to lose THIS game of all games, really stings and sucks. And now we have to hear about the stupid "should we have drafted KD bullshit" now that Oden played like shit. just sucks. another high profile game, we don't even show up. Just like opening night.
and Cleveland lost to Washington. Boston got their shit handed to them on a platter at home against Indiana. The Pacers also beat the Lakers. Milwaukee bitch slapped Dallas without their best player. Its competition. Its professional competition. You seem to think the NBA is about reading rosters and thats that. Thats why they roll the ball out there and let them play. But continue spewing if thats your Friday night entertainment. Kewl.
