So THE STREAK ends.....and to a tanking Dallas team, no less. So brutal.

Time to turn the page and focus on the next opponent. Unfortunately, our next opponent is the red-hot Thunder, who has won 3 straight games and 9 of their last 10. And they've owned us this season thus far. And they get the homecourt advantage. And the Blazers have to play back-to-back. Oooh, I can't wait!

  • Will the Blazers rebound from a frustrating and heartbreaking loss?
  • Will Dame win his matchup against Russell Westbrook?
  • Will Paul George go nuts on the Blazers yet again? (He scored 37 and 36 previously)
  • Will CJ put up enough bricks to build an elementary school?
  • Will Westbrook get a triple-double?
  • Will Skal Labissierre make his Blazers' debut?
  • Will Zach Collins foul out by the end of the 1st half?
  • Will Turner make more turnovers than the local bakery shop?
Find out on the next episode of Draggin' BallZ !!!
 
Rough stretch. And after that we Play the fucking Warriors. And after the all Star Break we've got a 7 Game road Trip and play @philly @Boston @Toronto, while also playing against the Nets, Cavs, Hornets and Grizzlies.
 
Our 1st unit hasn't really play well together since we had that 5 day break and don't know reason but both ends haven't been really good. I know that Dame and CJ trying more trying to get in there shooting instead trying to get the 3 get going like they was doing before the break.

Jazz had our number and then we destroyed them. Also we didn’t have Hood in those other games.

But Hood won't play much if CJ has hit more than one shot.....no matter how many attempts he has taken. 4-17? Keep jacking it up CJ and playing that stellar D. SMH....
 
Might just skip this game. Sick of watching this team fall apart when they are capable of so much more. And watching Westhog shouting to himself like a crazy man for an invented slight, might be too much for me.
 
everything points to another Blazer loss.....which means this could be one of those random two or three 'not-a-chance-games' a year that Portland comes out, plays extremely well, and wins going away. For damn sure the Blazers should be motivated. I'd really like to see Westbrook screaming at himself when OKC was down a dozen with a minute remaining
 
I don’t know, but it seems we haven’t bounced back from tough losses. Going to be a real test tonight, let’s see who the Blazers really are.

Yeah he will go for a Career high. And Stotts will not make a double Team to stop him

That would require an in-game adjustment, would it not? You're right....that's out.
 
Former Blazer fan/OKC fan here, I grew up a big Scottie Pippen fan, so I followed him to Portland. That 2000 WCF was the toughest loss ever watching sports. I was such a big fan of all those guys on that team, current Blazers remind me a little of that team without a legit small forward, which is all they're missing from being really elite. I wanted to swing by and wish you guys luck, hoping for a great game tonight.

Blazers should bounce back tonight and give OKC all they can handle. Dame clearly got fouled on that last shot yd, he really doesn't get the calls that other superstar players get. He rarely ever complains either, CJ seems to be struggling with his outside shot this year, he lit us up for 21 and like 6 3s in the 3rd quarter last time. Chief, Harkless and Turner all seem to be having really down years. Nurkic has easily outplayed Adams lately, Adams struggles against skilled, elite big men like Nurkic, Jokic, Aldridge and Embiid. I'm really impressed by Layman this year in the games I've seen, other than Terrance Ross, I wanted somehow for OKC to get him, but I knew there wasnt a shot.

I'll go ahead and throw out the premise we might not have a legit PF as well.
 
PG13 with another 35+points on a blowout win against the Blazers

Idk why they don't start Layman, is he not physical enough or rebound well? He would stretch the opposing 4 out, very athletic and a really good shooter. I think Leonard and Collins are decent. I know the 6-7 games I've watched of the Blazers this year, the small forwards have been terrible every game.
 
On 1080 The Fan, Dirt and Sprague are taking Stotts to task for his rotations and his abject sticking to playing some players who aren't playing well....and messing with minutes of players who are playing well depending on who you are. "And why is Harkless starting and playing 25 minutes?"

'Like' 1000x!!
