    Well, that was certainly a fun way to spend an evening.

    Westbrook is in a back corner of the visitors’ locker room whispering, “mommy!”

    Seriously.
    When you watch Dame drive and the defense collapse around him and block off CJ and Dame tosses that pass out to Seth you just know he is gonna drain that shot. The entire Thunder team would just wilt. Shoulders would sag. Drag their feet.

    IT WAS GLORIOUS!

    Then he did it again to Mo and they almost cried.

    Then he did it again to Seth again and there was no more Thunder in anything they were doing. Westbrook pretty much quit.

    Westbrook is rubbing off on Paul George. They were both childish at the press conference.

    PG has always been lowkey whiny, but he just looks disinterested.

    Dame got three. two really good ones from Russ.

    I noticed Paul George has a slow dribble and Harkless has his number. He will continue to give PG fits.

    That was a satisfying win. It's the kind of second half that just might get into the Thunder's heads, even going back to OKC.

    Like it or not, I thought that was a good call. Foster also made some great calls for us.

    Very dangerous though. You could end up scaring her for life on a few too many missed shots or Scott Foster foul calls.

    Very questionable. Leonard got the ball pretty much at the peak. We all watched it about 4 times in the arena and it was tough.
    The problem was not really that call but the absolute wide open cross body block Adams gave Meyers to his back and the latching onto his shoulder on consecutive plays. Then calling the foul when Adams sat down on the court.
    What i watched was the Blazers decide not to let the Refs get to them and they just took the game out of their control. As soon as they did that the calls were just fine. Stotts did a great job of talking Meyers out of his own head as well as Harkless. Dame had a hand in that also. When Mo had to come out due to his 4th foul Dame went to the sidelines and spoke directly to him. Great leadership.
