Game Thread GAME# 10: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 5, 2017 - SUNDAY, 6:00 (PST), NBCSNW

were playing OKC, not GSW
the record they have is like that for a reason, same as ours and were both better than that

so who knows if any team will play as they could and should

so far OKC is nothing to be afraid of, guys youre surprising me

 

Our defense has been, and could be good. Way to have a "take" that has been repeated ad nauseam, acting like Barkley has some enlightening take...

 

Just said what's up to Collins at the movie theater.

 

THE MOVIE THEATER?!!?

Why isn't he in the gym working on his post game?

Or in the weight room?

Where's the drive? The motivation? The determination?

Career over

 

Come to think of it, why were you at the movie theater instead of posting on S2?

Slacker.

And you call yourself a fan....

 

Dude the Blazers defense is CRAPTACULAR!!

 

Don't feel like starting a new post so here is an article pointing out just how bad Blazers are at scoring at the rim (worst in the league!) ; almost every player on the team worse than last year, some of them substantially worse. https://www.blazersedge.com/2017/11...-score-around-the-rim-lillard-mccollum-nurkic

 

So I ended up sitting just a few seats from Zach at the movies. I didn't bother him though, I'm a staunch believer of letting our guys enjoy their leisure time without being mobbed by people. Dude is tall as hell, when I saw him I was like "that dude could be a basketball player" then sure enough he gets closer and I see his NBA draft combine sweatshirt and then I got a look at his face, sure enough it was the rook.

 

Guys look, we have Problems with size and Defense. The okc Players are big and they are 2nd in Defense Rating. Even our big 3 makes 80 points combined, we gonna lose that game. Be realistic, there is absolutely no chance we gonna win that game, the matchup is almost the Same like the bucks, and the last win against them was in 15/16 when we had a run and confidence. I just hope it's not gonna be a blowout, here in Germany we are 9 hours ahead of the pacific northwest. I don't wanna wake up in the middle of the night just to see how the Thunder beats our ass. I would be satisfied if we are not loosing by more than 10. Just my oppinion

 

they have 4-4, so its not like their defense is spectacular
they have more talent than we do, but so far results arent showing that

like I said, both teams kinda underperformed so far, so literally anything is possible tonight

Im more scared that were playing home, something is wrong with that

 

They start: 6'3 / 6'6 / 6'8 / 6'8 / 7'0
We start: 6'3 / 6'4 / 6'8 / 6'10 / 7'0

We have no chance to win, because they're like the Bucks, who needed a last second steal to beat us? Do you realize what the fuck you're saying?

Funny how you don't point out their weaknesses. Can't stand posts like this.

 

theyre not POR fans

 

"Not my stats"

 

Roberson is 6.7 and PG 6.9, and they are both good defenders. I just think we are not gonna win that game because they are to good for us, i think the matchup is the baddest for us. Just like the Bucks with their long Arms. In my oppinion, i think against the rockets (Who are better than the Thunder) we have better chances to win because they are smaller.

 

And yes of course i am a real Portland Fan, i wake up in the middle of the night every time Portland plays, just to see my Favourite Team, like all the mavericks Fans here in Germany. But im realistic about our chances to beat okc with their big 3

 

you're not realistic

He wasn't "Enlightening". He was right. The Blazers should be better. They don't seem to take care of the little things that make a team good.

 

Just think if he was rapping while he was there?
