Game Thread GAME# 57: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 27, 2015 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), ESPN & CSNNW

I would take either. This team needs one more star.

 

Freeland, Kaman, and Leonard can rotate based on matchups. Need defense? Got Freeland. Need low post offense? Got Kaman. Need to space the floor? Got Leonard. It'll be a good thing IMO. I expect Freeland to get most the minutes though. His style best fits playoff basketball.

 

Unless they're running a hard double @ Aldridge.

 

If I was an OKC fan, I'd rather have HardFlop, and Jackson; than ChuckBrick.

Sure I'd feel shameful about HardFlop's antics, and would probably perform self flagellation; but I reckon OKC would win more.

OK, you've got me. If I was an OKC fan, I'd kill myself.

 

J-Free can hit the open J.

 

HardFlop seems like an oximoron to me.

 

Not when you put it in context though.

He flops. Hard.

He throw himself to the ground; as hard as he can.

 

I'd rather see Nards or Kaman in, if they're double teaming Aldridge on the catch.

 

Just watched the game on DVR. My thoughts? Fuck Mark Jackson. What a fucking idiot.

 

And, he choked the game away at the end - AGAIN.

Yep, positive I don't want him. The announcers on ESPN were completely slurping his nuts for getting his third straight triple-double, but not once did they mention he took 38 shots last night and 32 tonight. They see three straight triple-doubles. I see two straight losses with 70 FGA including 44 missed shots in two nights.

No thanks. I'll take Lillard, his 29 points on 22 FGA, 1 TOV and +12 for the win over Westbrick and his 40 points on 32 FGA, 6 TOV and -12 in a losing cause. You can have Westbrick and his guady stats. I prefer wins.

Maybe. I'd rather see RoLo.

I suppose it depends on who has the scoring touch at the time.

I think all of our bigs can score if they're left open.

It's a good thing to have options.

 

Too late. WestBrick has already had his way with him.

 

Yep, I started watching the game on ESPN, because I wanted a fresh, hopefully unbiased, perspective. Jackson forced me to switch to the Blazer broadcast. The guys on TNT were so much better last night.

Agree, I like C-Web as the commentary announcer.
Minus when he says Kevin Love is versatile. Every time he said that last night I was like... Please Webber...
You in your prime would dominate Kevin Love on both sides of the ball. Webber would make Love cry.

 

I have to be honest. I'm holding on too tight. I can hardly watch these games.
I have to record it and FF and find out if we won or I freak out and swear at the TV.
I'm inventing new swear words. Is it the 11 cups of coffee?
I really wanted this game. Nice win, very relaxing.

 

Aldridge was the man this eve. Absolutely willed this team to victory.

On another note, I really wished Stotts would have gotten ejected on that play where Damian took it inside and absolutely was hammered and got no call.

I might be whining but he's not getting the respect when taking it inside. He's not a rookie anymore, he should be getting those calls and Stotts needs to make that clear.

 

RW's face is kicked in. Much happy right now.
Fuck that shit talking mother fucker! Go Blazers!

 

That wasn't a foul, Ibaka went straight up. I can't stand it when offensive players get bailed out for just running out of control into the lane. Lillard is pretty darn good most the time but in this instances he made a mistake. Happens to the best of them when going at Ibaka.

 

Westbrook had a huge dent in his head. Might be a skull fracture. He didn't talk to the media and Ben Golliver said the Thunder will update his status tomorrow (Saturday).
