GT: Portland Trail Blazers @ OKC Thunder

[Graviton]

The most important game of the year, it's all on the line for OKC. Will we witness GOATBROOK rising or watch Westbrick failing? Only Lil B knows.

I predict an OKC collapse and an anticlimactic end to the season. :bowdown:

[bdreason]

No Aldridge. No Matthews. No Wright. No Afflalo. Game in OKC.


Thunder would have to completely fall apart to lose this game.

[imdaman99]

Inb4 Pelicans lose, OKC wins tonight but Westbrook gets another tech and then OKC loses to TWolves :lol

[Graviton]

No Aldridge. No Matthews. No Wright. No Afflalo. Game in OKC.


Thunder would have to completely fall apart to lose this game.
I have a feeling even if they win Spurs gonna rest all their starters and lose to Pelicans so OKC still misses the playoffs.

[bdreason]

I have a feeling even if they win Spurs gonna rest all their starters and lose to Pelicans so OKC still misses the playoffs.


Only way I see the Spurs resting against the Pelicans is if the Clipps, Grizzs, and Rockets all lose their next game. Otherwise the 2/3 seed will still be on the line.

[TemporaMutantur]

I have a feeling even if they win Spurs gonna rest all their starters and lose to Pelicans so OKC still misses the playoffs.

The Spurs have too much pride to lose in that fashion. They're on a 11 game win streak right now as well. They know that they could beat either should that be the case.

[Graviton]

Only way I see the Spurs resting against the Pelicans is if the Clipps, Grizzs, and Rockets all lose their next game. Otherwise the 2/3 seed will still be on the line.
Spurs have a shot at the 2nd seed? WTF? Shit got real the past few weeks. :oldlol:

[imnew09]

Spurs have a shot at the 2nd seed? WTF? Shit got real the past few weeks. :oldlol:

Not a shot... They are sitting at the 2nd seed right now bruh

[L.A.Showtime]

No Aldridge. No Matthews. No Wright. No Afflalo. Game in OKC.


Thunder would have to completely fall apart to lose this game.

Or Westbrook could shoot them into an L.

[Eric Cartman]

I expect OKC to lose this game somehow, unless the fix is in.

[Graviton]

Not a shot... They are sitting at the 2nd seed right now bruh
Yea just saw, last time I checked they were like 6th. :oldlol:

[zizozain]

i see you checking the box score to see how many points for Harden :D

[LiLharvard]

I expect OKC to lose this game somehow, unless the fix is in.


looking good so far man as are the wolves.. hopefully those young pups can spoil the pels

[KG215]

We're actually playing another playoff caliber team who, in terms of player impact and importance, is essentially just as depleted as we are. If we can't win this game, at home, with our playoff life hanging on by its last breath, then we really don't deserve to make the playoffs.


The Blazers will still score 105+. I mean OKC gave up 103 to the Kings without Cousins or Gay a few nights ago. So if we win it's going ot have to be another game where we score 110-120.

[Graviton]

2nd best player on OKC playing without his 1st/3rd option.
2nd best player on the Blazers playing without his 1st/3rd option.

Finally an even matchup. :bowdown:

[ILLsmak]

Barring ref bs I think okc loses by how they started.

-Smak

[Graviton]

Goatbrook Allen. :banana:

[BlazerRed]

GOATbrook gonna tear us a new butthole

[Thunderfan86]

I swear this nikka Westbrook does whatever the fvck he wants to out there on the court. :lol

Most people would probably do the same thing if their coach didn't give a fvck like Scott Brooks.

[ILLsmak]

Haha well nvm for now exteme scrubbing.

-Smak

[KG215]

As unbelievably, piss poor awful OKC's luck has been this year with injuries, the Blazers seem to get hard at some point every season the last 5 or so years.

[Im so nba'd out]

what happened to batum?

[Thunderfan86]

what happened to batum?
Out for the season with a lower body injury. :(

[SAKOTXA]

Portland getting raped by injuries again. What else is new?

[BlazerRed]

**** this season. **** it all.

[SAKOTXA]

**** this season. **** it all.
I feel for Portland fans. Another season of high expectations and two of your important starters get injured for the season. I honestly had them in the WCF or winning the West.

[BlazerRed]

:(

I had high expectations. I don't know about getting past a healthy Thunder or Spurs though.

[The_Yearning]

Westbrook stay eating Lillard's lunch.

[bdreason]

Blazers offense is so reliant on dumping to ball into Aldridge. They might even be more ISOcentric than the Thunder. At least the Thunder (typically) ISO two players, not just one.

[SAKOTXA]

Wtf has happened to Lillard

[BlazerRed]

Waiters :lebronamazed: :yaohappy:

This dude never passes the ****ing ball, so, so stupid :lol

[RoseCity07]

No Batum tonight. Lol at OKC only being up 12.

[BlazerRed]

Wtf has happened to Lillard
He's had a pretty average season TBH.

[bdreason]

Blazers offense is in shambles.

[RoseCity07]

Finally called a foul on Westbrook.

[BlazerRed]

Waiters :roll: :roll: :roll:

If OKC re-sign this guy..

[bdreason]

Waiters is such garbage. Borderline NBA player.

[SAKOTXA]

No Batum tonight. Lol at OKC only being up 12.
No KD no Ibaka. Lol at Portland losing.

[BlazerRed]

Myers "GOAT" Leonard

[RoseCity07]

No KD no Ibaka. Lol at Portland losing.

No Matthews, Aldridge, Batum, or Afflalo. That's an NBA starting four.

[Graviton]

Westbrook 6-9
Waiters 2-12

Now you see why he takes 40+ shots, just so Waiters doesn't even get a chance to shoot. :lol

[SAKOTXA]

He's had a pretty average season TBH.
I don't know the numbers, but from what i've seen he's been below average post asg

[Graviton]

No Matthews, Aldridge, Batum, or Afflalo. That's an NBA starting five.
Okc missing their 1st/3rd best player+some bench players.
Portland missing their 1st/3rd best player+some bench players.

This is an even matchup. Dion Waiters makes it a harder game for OKC. :confusedshrug:

[24-Inch_Chrome]

These hero ball commercials. :lol

[BlazerRed]

I don't know the numbers, but from what i've seen he's been below average post asg
Yeah, his shooting has been pretty bad.

[k0kakw0rld]

Westbrook 6-9
Waiters 2-12

Now you see why he takes 40+ shots, just so Waiters doesn't even get a chance to shoot. :lol
No I don't. Waiters creates his own shots most of the time.
Westbrook does know how to create for his teammates when the game is on the line. The end.

[Graviton]

No I don't. Waiters creates his own shots most of the time.
Westbrook does know how to create for his teammates when the game is on the line. The end.
He indeed does know. I agree. :applause:

[24-Inch_Chrome]

He indeed does know. I agree. :applause:

:applause:

[Thunderfan86]

Right knee injury for Batum.....X-rays negative

[RoseCity07]

Our bench is owning them:oldlol:

[bdreason]

It's funny because I spent the last month or so hoping the Pelicans could grab that 8 seed... but now I think I would rather play the Thunder. :oldlol:

[Graviton]

If we keep missing free throws again. :facepalm

[SAKOTXA]

Smh Portland is cursed

[RoseCity07]

If I'm Stotts I say pull CJ and Lillard. Screw this game. Don't get hurt.

[Graviton]

Damian Lizard gonna drop 30 in the 2nd half, just watch. Either that or some scrub off Portland's bench hits 6+ 3s.

[Thunderfan86]

Damian Lizard gonna drop 30 in the 2nd half, just watch. Either that or some scrub off Portland's bench hits 6+ 3s.
:lol

[SAKOTXA]

Looks like Thunder's playoff hopes are gonna be in San Antonio's hands. I hope Pop doesn't just say **** HCA and rest 5 starters :oldlol:

[KG215]

Dion Waiters single-handily keeping the Blazers in the game. Impressive one man performance.

[Graviton]

Wtf was that 3 by Westbrook this guy is a total ****ing retard. :lol

[SAKOTXA]

SMH McCollum out for the game

[bdreason]

Didn't know Leonard had that range.



Lillard's defense against Roberson on that last play was embarrassing.

[Graviton]

Westbrook with that Dirk shot. :roll:

[BlazerRed]

I give up

[Graviton]

Does Kanter even try to move on defense? This guy makes Boozer look motivated and mobile.

[SAKOTXA]

Portland bench is consisted of like 2 players :lol

[Graviton]

Westbrook doesn't even look interested, he keeps giving the ball to Waiters and chilling at the 3pt line letting him go 1 on 5. :oldlol:

[Young X]

If the Pelicans win tonight OKC is disqualified right? They're up by 16 against Minnesota right now.

[SAKOTXA]

If the Pelicans win tonight OKC is disqualified right? They're up by 16 against Minnesota right now.
No they have the same record. If the Pelicans lose against Spurs and Thunder win they're in

[Graviton]

If the Pelicans win tonight OKC is disqualified right? They're up by 16 against Minnesota right now.
If Spurs beat pelicans and OKC wins their last game they are in I think.

[24-Inch_Chrome]

If the Pelicans win tonight OKC is disqualified right? They're up by 16 against Minnesota right now.

I think that only happens if OKC loses and New Orleans wins. If both win, and then OKC beats Minnesota/New Orleans loses to San Antonio on the last day then OKC should get the 8 seed.

[k0kakw0rld]

If Spurs beat pelicans and OKC wins their last game they are in I think.
Popovich needs to rest the starters. Pelicans need to win.

[Graviton]

Jesus christ Westbrook is unreal, so is Lilard's defense though. :oldlol:

[SAKOTXA]

Popovich needs to rest the starters. Pelicans need to win.
Spurs have to win to get the 2nd seed, they might drop to 6th if they lose.

[SAKOTXA]

MVPbrook for 50?

[Young X]

No they have the same record. If the Pelicans lose against Spurs and Thunder win they're inSo all they gotta do is win tonight and they're basically in because their next game is @ Minnesota and the Pelicans next game is against SAS.

[Graviton]

Lilard looks shook as ****. Poor guy gets creampied by every Top 3 PG nowadays.

[KDthunderup]

Does Kanter even try to move on defense? This guy makes Boozer look motivated and mobile.

He should be able to move a lot quicker then what he does, he doesn't look that immobile for a center. If you could put Collison's Defensive IQ in Kanter he would be a top 5 center easily.

[SAKOTXA]

So all they gotta do is win tonight and they're basically in because their next game is @ Minnesota and the Pelicans next game is against SAS.
Well Pelicans are playing at home vs SA in a must win game. Not going to be that easy

[RoseCity07]

Lilard looks shook as ****. Poor guy gets creampied by every Top 3 PG nowadays.

Which player is coasting and which player is fighting desperately for a chance at 8th seed:oldlol:

[SAKOTXA]

Lilard looks shook as ****. Poor guy gets creampied by every Top 3 PG nowadays.
:lol :lol :lol :lol

[Fudge]

:oldlol:

[Graviton]

So all they gotta do is win tonight and they're basically in because their next game is @ Minnesota and the Pelicans next game is against SAS.
Wolves are like on a 11 game losing streak, they might just play the best game of the season just to end the year on a win. You never know.

[Graviton]

Which player is coasting and which player is fighting desperately for a chance at 8th seed:oldlol:
Lettuce be real tea, Lilard could be playing his heart out and still get destroyed. There is a gap between the top dogs like Curry/Paul/Westbrook and little puppies like Lilard.

[SAKOTXA]

Which player is coasting and which player is fighting desperately for a chance at 8th seed:oldlol:
So you're suggesting that if Lillard wasn't coasting he would be close to Westbrook as a player? :oldlol:

Put Westbrook in his position with a healthy Portland team and they're the clear cut favorites to win the title.

[BlazerRed]

Myers "GOAT" Leonard

[RoseCity07]

Lettuce be real tea, Lilard could be playing his heart out and still get destroyed. There is a gap between the top dogs like Curry/Paul/Westbrook and little puppies like Lilard.

Didn't he drop 40 and embarrass Westbrook by coming back from 10 with a minute left in the game:oldlol:

He spanked Westbrook

[RoseCity07]

So you're suggesting that if Lillard wasn't coasting he would be close to Westbrook as a player? :oldlol:

Put Westbrook in his position with a healthy Portland team and they're the clear cut favorites to win the title.

Ummm no we're not. Aldridge takes a lot of shots. That doesn't work next to Westbrook and his terrible shot selection. I'd rather have Chris Paul or Curry.

[Graviton]

Didn't he drop 40 and embarrass Westbrook by coming back from 10 with a minute left in the game:oldlol:

He spanked Westbrook
You gonna talk about "dropping 40" when everyone and their grandma drops 40 on Lilard? :lol

[SAKOTXA]

Ummm no we're not. Aldridge takes a lot of shots. That doesn't work next to Westbrook and his terrible shot selection. I'd rather have Chris Paul or Curry.
:oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

[RoseCity07]

You gonna talk about "dropping 40" when everyone and their grandma drops 40 on Lilard? :lol
Seeing as Batum and Matthews usually guard the other teams point guard it's not 40 on Lillard.

You do realize Batum guards the other teams best offensive players right?

Not saying Lillard can stop Westbrook but we know Lillard dropped 40 on Westbrook. Westbrook dropped 40 on everyone with terrible efficiency.

[KDthunderup]

You gonna talk about "dropping 40" when everyone and their grandma drops 40 on Lilard? :lol
:lebronamazed: :lebronamazed:

[RoseCity07]

Dion Waiter is horrible.

and lmao at Tim Frazier destroying Westbrook.

[Graviton]

Not saying Lillard can stop Westbrook but we know Lillard dropped 40 on Westbrook. Westbrook dropped 40 on everyone with terrible efficiency.

Lilard being a terrible defender is well known, hence why he doesn't take the challenge of guarding the opposing team's star PG.

Westbrook's "terrible efficiency" is still better than Lilard's, that's the sad part about it.

[SAKOTXA]

Frazier doesn't look like he belongs

[RoseCity07]

Not really. 2-7 in games where Westbrook scores 40. That sort of ends that conversation doesn't it.

[RoseCity07]

Frazier doesn't look like he belongs

That's because he's a d-league scrub that we picked up last minute. Did you actually think Portland was throwing out a rotation guard right now?:oldlol:

[SAKOTXA]

Dion Waiter is horrible.

and lmao at Tim Frazier destroying Westbrook.
Are you watching another game?

You're easily one of the worst posters on this board.

[Graviton]

Not really. 2-7 in games where Westbrook scores 40. That sort of ends that conversation doesn't it.
Yes because it's a 1 on 1 game and not a team game, I bet no Durant/Ibaka for most of those games. :oldlol:

I would love to see Lilard play without Aldridge/Mathews for most of the season and see his record and efficiency.

[SAKOTXA]

That's because he's a d-league scrub that we picked up last minute. Did you actually think Portland was throwing out a rotation guard right now?:oldlol:
I thought he was just destroying Westbrook? Hypocrisy in full display here

k.

[RoseCity07]

I thought he was just destroying Westbrook? Hypocrisy in full display here

Where is the hypocrisy? Do you know what the word means?

[inclinerator]

that drowning shot

[Graviton]

Dion Waiters barely hits the rim on an open jumper.

[RoseCity07]

Lol Blazer commentators are such idiots. Not even close to hitting rim. All backboard.

[KG215]

Yeah, that hit the rim. OKC got a break there.

[Graviton]

Thank God for Morrow, without him this team would have no shooters.

[KDthunderup]

Kanter defensive stance is horrible, how has no one taught him the basics of defense yet?

If OKC re-signs him they better solely work on his defense all off season

[SAKOTXA]

Where is the hypocrisy? Do you know what the word means?
Do you know how salty you sound right now? Westbrook owns Lillard on 4 straight possessions "he's coasting", Frazier gets by Westbrook "he's destroying him" gtfo

[KDthunderup]

Thank God for Morrow, without him this team would have no shooters.
KD, Augustin and Singler (hasn't been great this season) are good shooters

[Graviton]

Westbrook like a man among boys out there. Fighting for every rebound.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Rememba backw hen nikkas thought Lillard was better than Alridge:lol :lol :lol

[RoseCity07]

Do you know how salty you sound right now? Westbrook owns Lillard on 4 straight possessions "he's coasting", Frazier gets by Westbrook "he's destroying him" gtfo

I said Frazier was destroying Westbrook. Then said Frazier is a d-league scrub. There is no hypocrisy. I'm stating even a scrub is going off.

[Graviton]

KD, Augustin and Singler (hasn't been great this season) are good shooters
1 is out, the other 2 are actually not. Singler is garbage.

[SAKOTXA]

I said Frazier was destroying Westbrook. Then said Frazier is a d-league scrub. There is no hypocrisy. I'm stating even a scrub is going off.
Are you trolling me or are you just that stupid? He's 1-6 with 3 points

[SAKOTXA]

Thanks for the neg RoseCity. Stay salty

[Graviton]

Are you trolling me or are you just that stupid? He's 1-6 with 3 points
That scrub is getting playing time over Lilard too, that's how bad Dame is getting raped even his coach has no faith in him.

[RoseCity07]

Frazier is a better playmaker than scorer.

[RoseCity07]

everyine please ignore the **** RoseChity07

that's him for years

Do you write for Leno?

[upside24]

How many points does Westbrook have?

[SAKOTXA]

negged him

repped you
:oldlol: not like i give a shit but thanks :cheers:

Did you see Frazier destroy that backboard over Westbrook, Rosecity?

[RoseCity07]

negged him

repped you

negged.

[KDthunderup]

How many points does Westbrook have?
36

[Smook A.]

Westbrook pretty much has the scoring title on lock now

[zizozain]

:oldlol: not like i give a shit but thanks :cheers:

Did you see Frazier destroy that backboard over Westbrook, Rosecity?
lol


:rockon:

[RoseCity07]

OKC is going to make it if SA doesn't rest their starters. Can't see Pelicans winning that one.

Glad though it's going to be fun watching Westbrook shoot 50 FG against Golden State.:oldlol:

[upside24]

36
Thank you. Guess he's going to get the scoring title.

Some of the statlines he has put up this year have been incredible.

[Graviton]

RoseCity why are you always so salty? Enjoy life, it's only a game why u haf to be mad?

[KG215]

Well, all we needed was for the Blazers to not have Aldridge, Afflalo, Matthews, Dorrell Wright and Blake for the entire game; Batum or McCollum for the second half; and Lillard for the 4th quarter, but we finally held a team under 100 points!

[RoseCity07]

RoseCity why are you always so salty? Enjoy life, it's only a game why u haf to be mad?

You do know I really don't care about this game right?:oldlol:

I wanted Lillard to sit before the game even started. If it was my choice I'd play the third string 48 minutes tonight.

I really stopped caring once 4th seed was locked down. Don't even care about homecourt advantage.

[Graviton]

But why are you always so salty in game threads? You may not care but you still come off as a huge **** at times.

[RoseCity07]

But why are you always so salty in game threads? You may not care but you still come off as a huge **** at times.

If that's the way it comes of so be it. I'm just throwing out whatever comes into my head. Deal with it. Westbrook does something similar with a basketball and you love it.

[Graviton]

If that's the way it comes of so be it. I'm just throwing out whatever comes into my head. Deal with it. Westbrook does something similar with a basketball and you love it.
No I don't. I cringe and look away in disgust. :lol

And you aren't similar to Westbrook, more like Damian Lilard. Everybody knows you cry and whine in game threads and they see you as a little bitch. Just like Dame after his comments about being an all-star.

[dabigbaws]

Inb4 pop rests the whole team and everyone has the game of their lives for the wolves

[LONGTIME]

Westbrook's post game interview :oldlol:

[LONGTIME]

Waiters "Russ may not be a Spurs fan but I will be, I've never been to the playoffs." :oldlol:

[RoseCity07]

No I don't. I cringe and look away in disgust. :lol

And you aren't similar to Westbrook, more like Damian Lilard. Everybody knows you cry and whine in game threads and they see you as a little bitch. Just like Dame after his comments about being an all-star.cry and whine. 16 techs. Yeah totally not related.

[BlazerRed]

:dancin

[BlakFrankWhite]

go spurss gooooo!!!!!

[Fudge]

Russ tore poor Dames a new asshole tonight. Lawd.

[ImKobe]

Lillard always seems to get abused by opposing star PGs :kobe:

Russ proved his MVP worth tonight and locked up the scoring title.
