    Blazers gotta calm down. Their shooting motion is rushed, like the length of OKC is in their heads. If they just take a deep breath they’re getting good looks.

    Seems likr they should be way down, they’re still in it.

    Well those are his official stats for the first half according to NBA.com The Blazers only have 3 made three pointers. Dame, CJ and Meyers each have one.

    that wasn't an artistic first half but it a little playoff intensity....that's entertaining

    seems like at least 3 or 4 times a game, CJ gets the ball and you just know he's going to shoot....won't matter who is open or how many players he's driving against...he's jacking up that shot, no matter what. I suppose a lot of volume shooters are like that, but he's extremely predictable when he goes into his shake-n-bake routine

    Question: would you take Steve Blake in his prime over CJ?

    Johnny Nash was roommates with Bob Marley at one point. But Marley got angry his records weren't selling in the UK, so he stole Nash's guitar and hit the bricks.

    Thunder playing with incredible activity and physicality on the perimeter. Thought the guys did a good job playing through that though and not letting it affect how they want to play offensively.

    Just need to be little sharper with the passes.

    Steve Blake is like a boomerang. You throw him away and he always comes back.

    If you can t successfully finish a backdoor cut you designed for Layman, TWICE how the fuck do you expect to win this game?

    It feels like they keep making lots of 3s and big shots and still can't get separation from us.
