    Very. Blazers were outplayed in both of the first two games. They are just fortunate OKC was a M*A*S*H* unit.

    Spurs won the title shooting LOTS of jump shots.

    IF you missed the game, just close your eyes and imagine the blazers giving up every damn offensive rebound, missing layups, missing wide open jumpers, turning the ball over, getting crappy calls against them, that is pretty much this game.

    Spurs play defense and have a world class coach and one of the top 10 players of all time.

    Bullshit. We won by 17. Thunder nearly beat the Clippers with less.

    Simple things like not boxing out are unacceptable if you want to be a contender.

    Guys who overrate themselves (Batum) overdribble and turn it over. The opposite is guys who refuse to play to their ceilings (Lillard, Aldridge).

    not worried. we're fine. cleveland stunk it up against the knicks at home after the knicks looked putrid their first game...

    but, this is s2, where over-reaction happens.

    I'm in disbelief. We were up 77-73 and got like 5 or 6 stops in a row but couldn't fucking score. We had them beat but we didn't score until. Kings finally made a move. Then Damian went into Beastmode when it was too late. Ugh. And what happened to LA? He was having a good game. 19 through three quarters!

    Yep...and down every quarter until the 4th. Westbrook just wore down. No need for foul language just because you disagree. The reality is, OKC was without a league MVP, their top 6th man and their starting SG.

    And maybe I'm reading more into a frustrating loss but it also feels like the player substitutions and rotations are off. They didn't feel natural and within the flow of the game.

    They had enough players to nearly beat the Clippers. The game is a 48 minute game. We won by 17 as we should have.
