    This. Lot of bitches in this league who rely on the media and the refs night in and night out. Blazers only have each other and the fans. I like our guys.

    A few tweets from the Thunder's beat writer

    Darnell Mayberry @DarnellMayberry
    Two things about Kendrick Perkins' illegal screen in the final minute. 1) He raised his right arm and made contact, and Wes Matthews sold it

    2) The ref basically issued a make-up call for the moving screen Perk set on Batum on the previous play that got KD free for that corner 3.

    During an awful 3rd quarter, I asked if it's time Brooks changes the starting unit. It needs more balance & better starts to the 1st & 3rd.

    But the truth is Brooks has long been handcuffed by Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook's defense

    Their inconsistency on that end has forced Brooks to stick with two one-dimensional players in the first group.

    And it served as an example of how Durant needs to be much better on that end. He's in Year 7, and Westbrook is in Year 6.

    It's time they both step up defensively

    If they don't, their continued inconsistency on defense will hold the Thunder back as much as anyone or anything else.

    If Durant and Westbrook committed to playing defense, Brooks would have more options and might feel comfortable making a change.

    But they haven't, despite being superbly gifted & talented. There's no reason they should be let opponents off the hook b/c of spotty D.

    But the truth is Brooks has long been handcuffed by Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook's defense.

    No one is talking about how Batum took it to Durant in the third quarter last night.

    But that stretch helped get Portland back in the game and had as much to do with the Thunder's loss as anything else.

    Does he have another sick kid? I hope not. I don't want that prick anywhere close to my team.

    Too bad this game wasn't in front of a national audience. On the least coast, it's as if it never happened.

    Westbrook needs to mature a TON. The whole stretch where the Blazers switched Wes onto him and he reacted, pretty much was the end of his significant impact on the game. He had more points, but it was that the hectic manner that he sometimes plays.

    I think the Thunder would be better off trading Westbrook, and inventing a time machine and getting Harden back

    Hypnosis would calm him down and get him back in touch with his inner self. I'm serious. Or TM, if he has time for that.

    In all seriousness...wow. Dame can play and shoot better. I have to believe he will. My hope is that TRob continues to improve throughout the season and is able to contribute positively in the playoffs. And CJ...If healthy, he could still be a terrific 6th man...but time is running out on getting him the burn he'll need to learn the game. He's had a lot of down time in the last year with two foot injuries....

    So... that was pretty fun. Nice to actually watch a game for once :lol:

    Has LMA been attacking the rim like that all year? I noticed him attacking when he would have settled for a jumpshot in years past. Wasnt sure if that was an all year thing or just him feeling hot last night.

    Hope not.

    So, I guess next time a woman offers you a blow job you will of course say no?
