    There have been times this season the Blazers have played with too little emotion and sleep-walked their way into losing games they could/should have won. By contrast, OKC is sometimes TOO emotional. Uncontrolled emotion is counter-productive, especially under the play-off spot-light. Donavan is (IMHO) doing a horrible job with their roster.

    I don't know if Thunder have any heart left but if .so Blazers need to rip it out early. Don't let this game hang.

    Yep. Need to bury them in the first half. If so, they'll quit. Then the bench mob can join in the fun.

    SA's bigs also dont have the footspeed to guard the pick n roll well. Just look at Adams in this series.

    Don't read this if you have a weak stomach.

    Lucia has never been a serious hunter, more chase and pounce that would occasionally land prey.

    She just brought in a live snake and consumed the entire thing on my kitchen rug. I take this as an omen that Blazers will consume the OKC snakes until nothing is left but three drops of blood on the Moda Center floor.

    In reference to the coaching thing. I for whatever reason don't know if I think Donavon's at fault for this. I said this going into the series, Stotts takes a lot of heat for not “coaching” Dame and CJ, mostly reining in their shot selection. OKC is basically ran by PG13 and Russ, I don't think Donavon has much say in anything they do. I don't think Pop could coach that team I really don’t. Russ and PG are gonna do what they want. That said to Stotts credit, they've tried some different things and Dame and CJ are attacking traps much better. Defensively the players are mostly locked into the gameplan. Its nice to see him actually having a good series, I think the next series will be much more a gauge of if Stotts has gotten better as a coach though.

    I'm 100% convinced that the main reason our coaching staff is screaming at everyone to back off Russ is NOT to remind them of what they have to do.

    This was my favorite Westbrook answer from his post game interview

    Can an ego get any bigger than that ? I'm glad he's thinking he's doing everything right

    I've seen someone on the Youtube comments saying "Westbrook has Ben Simmons' jumper with Steph Curry's mentality"

    Pretty accurate lol

    Absolutely. They are doing it to get into his head. It's working from every indication.
