    Thunder don't really have a traditional PF in their rotation so I wonder what our rotation will look like tonight. Would be a good game to give Layman a shot but I doubt that actually happens.

    Fair enough. The rest of my sentiment stands though.

    If they can't get pumped up for this game then who can they get excited to play? Division Rival with two stars that essentially said Nah i'll pass on the Blazers.

    Sorry, but "no chance" is extremely unrealistic.

    You know that you have accidentally woken up in the upside- down when OKC is now a large market team, Crawford somehow plays for them, and the Blazers have no chance to beat them in Portland.

    Someone come rescue me.

    The answer is yes, but I meant westbrick. Damn this ballhog version of spellcheck.

    Blazers gonna miss Aminu this game. It feels like we always play OKC tough, though. It'll be interesting to see if they keep westbrook on one of our guards or if they try to hide him on Harkless. Whoever he defends needs to be in attack mode if we want to win.

    What is the obsession with Layman? He's shown nothing but inconsistency. Why should he get minutes over any other player on the roster?
    I mean even Victor Claver showed more consistency than Layman. At least Claver looked like a player, Layman looks lost half the time.

    Because the other options have been so consistent. And Layman literally hasn't even had a chance this year.

    He had a chance in training camp and he has a chance in practice. If he was clearly better than the options in front of him, he'd have a role.

    Anyone got a link at all. League pass is blacked out. Just spent about an hour trying through comcast to stream it or get it through my live TV account with no luck.
    Anything would be great. don't care if it's blurry?

    Can't wait to lose by 40 because that's what the refs(league) will want to happen. Gotta make the Thunder look strong right?

    he had chances in SL, and preseason.
    If he needs more chances to prove he can play in the NBA. It shouldn't be during regular season games.
    He needs to throw a towel and be happy. Layman sucks is not an NBA player. The baseball player at least showed a few things last year during SL/preseason. Earning stints and showing a couple things. Layman hasn't shown he deserves time on the court.

    Even I know that wasn't FLAVA FLAV. That's Lil Wayne, who btw, looks seriously 60.
