    We're all playing like a bunch of pussies. I have seen this team go toe to toe with the likes of LA, SA, DAL, MIA, and CHI this season, but tonight we look so intimidated. WTF. Wake up.

    Maybe we'll fall to the 8th seed and the Spurs will lose Duncan and Ginobili for the playoffs?

    This just re-affirms my belief that one of the biggest signs of a mediocre team is how they respond to a big win. Instead of building on it, they lay this egg.

    Aldridge hit a nice off-balance jumper over Perkins after trying to get inside

    I like OKC is a bad match-up for the Blazers. I'm happy with the 6th seed.

    If the Spurs lose Duncan AND Manu for the rest of this season, they won't be the #1 seed.

    It's like we have the OKC local announcers. So weird.

    And by the way, you only ever say that when we respond with a loss. But a lot of times (see win over Dallas), we respond with a win at which point, you go silent.

    What would Van Gundy know about winning titles?

    I'd like to see Wallace/Aldridge/Camby to start the half. That should be the starting 5 anyways.

    We look tired. A step slow and allowing the Thunder to penetrate almost at will.

    The problem is on offense - we had 5 points in the final 8 minutes. We're having one of our nights where we're awful from outside and can't keep them honest.

    That was one of the worst halves I've seen from us this season.

    No goaltending? Absolute bullshit.

    All about effort. We made up those 8 points so quickly by just playing harder.

    There is absolutely no reason to play scared against this team. Glad to see the Blazers are realizing this.

    Most encouraging part of the game so far:

    In the second half in a fight for the defensive rebound, one of the Blazers yelled out "NO LAYINS!"

    Sounds like they decided to play with a little more toughness in the second half.

    It would be a 5 point game if they called that obvious goaltend.
