Game Thread GAME# 24: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 8, 2019 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM, NBCSNW

The Blazers depth is gone now. Get ready for plenty of games with 10-20 points from the bench. Hard to win that way.

 

exactly. Fail so we can get a good draft pick. No more of this back end of the lottery action.

 

What color is the font.

 

I've answered that...I should have said " meant" instead of "said"....and I'll question you if I like....I also posted I'll eat the crow tonight...no need to be so full of yourself dude. Don't dictate what people can or can't say....how about that? I was wrong about winning this game too.....you can gloat in that glory if it helps. I have no need to vent about it

 

I agree their body language changed because Olshey turned the majority of the roster over. Of the guys who played tonight, only 2 of them were playing meaningful minutes in the playoffs. I disagree that they're not trying, but agree the body language is different.

 

They didn’t play game seven of the WCF. I think you mean game four?

 

I meant Game 7 to get to the WCF

 

Fwiw, I understood your sarcastic humor.

 

Well tough to say. They went into game one off a very tough seven game series on a 36 hour turnaround from Denver to San Francisco and they were in it to the final play. Didn’t seem like their body language changed to me.

 

i didn’t say that. I said probably along those lines

 

Nah, it wasn't Olshey's fault... Dame and CJ felt validated when they made the WCF's. Like getting back there was a foregone conclusion. That entire series they just seemed happy to get there. The whole organization let that whole thing get to their head that they had arrived, that the process didn't matter. They rode that wave all summer. I totally think Dame worked his butt off this summer cause that's what he does. The hunter mentality left though, getting to the WCF's was their prey.
The year after SAS lost in the Finals to Miami, they were on a mission, they were going to get a ring no matter what, that was a team whose goals were Championship and they didn't get it. The Blazers this last summer were a team whose goals were WCF's and they got it. Last year they were the hunter, they wanted to prove that the sweep from NO was a fluke and they did that.

 

They got blown out in Game 1.

 

The quote that has been brought up was absolutely no where “Along those lines”. You lost credibility. Just stop.

 

Yeah, they play like just showing up in games like tonight is good enough to win.

 

No they didn’t. Last possession Dame being guarded by the old guy we want now. I brain fading his name????

 

Iggy

 

Had every chance to win that game and game two. Matter of fact they were ahead in every game in the second half.

 

4 of 18 for 9 points (Melo) , that is some heinous scoring.
It’s got to be the worst of the season for so many shots or at least I hope so.

 

What? KJ They lost Game 1 by 22.

 

That actually proves the point for me. They were blowing out GS everygame (but game 1) and let themselves get outworked in the 2nd half of 3 straight games... Draymond was literally beating their entire team up and down the court. They failed to stop the ball on one man breaks so many times it was nauseating. GS was at a point they were ready to be had, but the Blazers let them off the hook. Yes GS was still a good team, but man that was a bad look...
