    Blame KP. He knew Durant would be a prolific scorer and opted for the big man that would "win championships."

    I don't follow your logic. My logic states that OKC has been incredibly healthy this season. I'd like to see them handle some adversity before I annoint them the champs of the future.

    Not after tonight.

    They have younger players then the Blazers at their key positions. Screw your emoticon.

    Fuck all of you that blame KP for drafting Oden over Durant. Every fucking GM in the league would have done the same thing. 20/20 hindsight is just bitch-talk IMO.

    Re: Trail Blazers vs Thunder GAME THREAD 4/12

    Promising future means nothing to me. We've seen how Portland's promising future has potentially changed within a year. The same thing could happen to OKC, or maybe Portland catches a break and acquires some star or something in some way. Point is, it changes every year.

    The future isn't guaranteed, so all it is is talk.

    Wow, way to step out on a limb there.

    If we win, we're not tied with them. If we lose, we're not tied with them.

    Re: Trail Blazers vs Thunder GAME THREAD 4/12

    No shit. Portland wins 54 games last season with a very young team, finishes tied for the 2nd best record in the West, then follows it up with ~50 wins while losing 300+ games to player injury. What does this mean to the hysterical ninnies here? It means that the sky is falling!! :NOTMARIS:

    What are you talking about? Rudy is busting his ass out there and he is more than making up for Roy's absence.

    I'm a realist.

    If I made the Durant pick, I'd expect to be fired by now.

    I have doubts that you can wipe your own ass, let alone be GM of an NBA team.

    We'll lose. I'll step on that limb.

    Unless Durant blows out his knee.

    I don't know whether to be happy or disappointed that 75% of the board doesn't live near bridges during games.

    Thunder will falter. They always do.

    Have faith, Blazer fans.
