Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 3: BLAZERS @ THUNDER - APRIL 19, 2019, FRIDAY, 6:30 PM , ESPN & NBCSNW

From the OKC side:

 

Is Adams calling out Russ? It sure sounds like it.

 

Baffling. Surprised there isn't more action on POR to balance this out.

538 says the same thing. OKC is a 7 point favorite in both games this weekend while the games in POR were both a pickem.

 

i did. im proud of myself.

 

yeah, i made it at work, e mailed it to my phone and posted it on the FB "trail blazers forum". thanks!

 

i also posted it on this thread on page 3, lol.

 

Ohh so you work as hard as me huh? LOL

Yeah, but you have mister ass hat as your moniker, so nobody probably paid attention.

 

it was a slow day, HAHAHAHA

i thought it was a hilarious post game interview. i had to put it on there. lol

 

Portland needs game 3 cause i am afraid if you give OKC hope by a win tonight they are back in the series so tonight the Blazers have to come out and step on OKC throat and break there spirit and pretty much assure the team a spot in the 2nd round. Tonight will tell us if this team has what it takes to make a real run cause a vet team with good leadership from the coaches to the last player on the bench will realize what i said above but a inexperienced team will just be happy with what they got let up on the throttle and let OKC back in the series and maybe even lose the series.

I think we will know by the end of the 1st Quarter what team showed up not by the score but by the little things - hustle and how they are running plays cause if OKC gets hot with Hands in there faces then nothing you can do about that really

 

I agree but disagree. The end of the first quarter didnt mean squat in game two as to the outcome.

 

Orion did you just stop reading at the - part of the last sentence cause i even said the score would not really tell the story but how they came out in terms of the hustle and running plays and such. -- LOL

 

you should use the quote option bro. It alerts me, you are conversing.


NO. I agree with you that we need to take game three or they will feel right back in the series.
I disagree that game three will be answered by the end of the first quarter and I referenced game two as evidence.

 

As long as we get to 4 wins before they do I'm good.

 

I was told not to move the bracelets because each one was programmed to a specific seat. The only bummer is they only worked in the arena.

The crowd seemed weak though, huh?

 

Blazers need to come out like it's game 7 and punch OKC in the mouth.

OKC is going to do the same.

Game threes can turn a series.

This will probably get chippy, folks.

 

Crowd was weak.

 

Well, prior to Game 1 most people thought we would lose the series to OKC and they came as the team that beat us 4 times (twice at Portland). The fact that we were 3.5 points favorite was quite respectful based on those and after a very close finish despite horrible finish by OKC scorers justified a -1 for the second game.

I would personally put OKC at -4 or so but I am biased. I don't bet on sports but I have serious respect on those line setters. They know what they are doing more often than not.

 

LMAO, did you just have a stroke?

 

What a weak post. Must have taken you a week to write this weakness.
