Second half key to the game
1. Score 1 more point than OKC.

Hmm.
Thunder are scrappy on D. Id like to see Lamarcus play like he did during the second half some more. I think Jeff Green read your post Jake.

They look like a real young team
Lots of really stupid mistakes.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Jeff Green has some good games
He makes LA look like an awesome rebounder and is still an inefficient scorer in general, though.

If its close late, watch him and Westbrook since KD is NOT clutch

They don't have anyone to match up to SG or SF scorers.
They use Kenyon Martion or Aaron Affalo.

I was amazed that he hit a three.. sheesh he’s 31% from out there.

Heheh
And to top that, the Blazers are only 1-11 on three pointers! If they only had hit 2 or 3! That is kinda concerning though..

I wrote a post at WTLC basically saying "Jeff Green is not good. Thunder fans, your thoughts?"

Yeah, he's a tweener and really not that good.
I just realized how incoherant my post above was….
Being a Blazer fan is not exactly healthy.

It’ll be a good time to pick up a win against the Thunder. This game is very important for playoff hopes.

He stepped up in the 2nd quarter.
His play in the 1st quarter was inexcusable. Miller sucked as well.

you’d think he were the #1 draft pick that we took in front of durant and pinned all our hopes on. it’s amazing, really.

Good finish to the first half for the Blazers
Lets keep it up, finish strong. Keep Durant shooting instead of dunking…
hey can anybody point me to a play by play ticker besides the one one on trailblazers .com ? she seems to be runnin more behind than usual.

Still on the Rex bandwagon.
So can we trade bayless yet?
It is obvious this isn’t the style he wants and the shots that he is taking are the same 15 foot of the screen or driving it…trade him now while his stock is still somewhat up for the most part
A poor Blazer in the State of New York
With all the injuries
Bayless is my favorite thing to watch. He’s injured right now. The upcoming break should help.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
But i am just not seeing anything in his game worth having on the blazers
and no i won’t buddy i have felt this way for a while i just see his game being one domentional and non valuable
A poor Blazer in the State of New York
geez buddy, he said he won't already
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." -- Bertrand Russell
I love the way
Blakey takes it to the hole. He can be leading a break and have a clear path to the basket and he’ll kick it out. Blazers won’t go anywhere in the finals (if they make it) with that type of guard.
bayless is still a good asset
He is injured and hasn’t overcome being scouted.. he will
On game day, I leave the turkey alone because it is some chemicals in that thing. Nate Mcmillian 11/26/09
I love how fickle Blazers fans are
Watch him score 30 next game and you’ll be all over him like the second coming of christ.
Rudy Love Affair
People on here always trash Lamarcas and Blake, but Rudy has been as disappointing this season as anybody on the team. Inconsistent shooting, careless passes, inability to beat his man off the dribble, and mediocre defense. When will the love affair end? Rudy and Outlaw for Caron Butler.
I've been advocating Rudy
As out best option as trade bait, as far as a guy who is actually worth something. Not that I don’t think he’s a good player, he’s just redundant here.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
webster and bayless have been playing worse tonight
and that’s even more worrying.
Batum starts on the bench. Blake starts.
Looking forward to the Bayless and Rudy.

webster went up to block kristic

That could be a bit expected (covers and TIME mentions and all)
Though they marketed Oden too at least initially
Yep. I suspect if not for the initial surgery, Oden would have stayed in the marketing plans
And would have got more slack. Especially if he’d been scoring a good number of points.
Fair call, Batum not in position, Durant a bit out of control...50/50

I take the Thunder approach of surrounding Durant with defenders over the Cavs approach of surrounding James with shooters…and picking guys who are 2 years away from being 2 years away in the draft.
That works well if you're content with maxing out at 50 wins.
When Thabo Sefolosha and Jeff Green are in your starting lineup, things aren’t going to turn out so well come playoff time. Unless Durant is going to reach LeBron/MJ levels of brilliance they need another scorer.

hard to hate OKC
they did it the right way – built from the ground up with smart drafting and good trades. their guys all seem high character good players. what’s not to like?

it's called jealousy
we were the same last year. We were supposed to be doing great things this year. Now we have to watch as they get all the attention for being the “up-and-coming team with the best looking future.”
Not too fond of the move Bennet/Stern pulled on Seattle, for starters...
You cannot give a sports fan a hard time for hating that.
And the city itself sucks.
I'm conflicted
I like a lot of the players, but I think the owners are… um… things I can’t say on BE.
That leaves me pretty neutral on whether the team wins or loses, but I hope the owners lose their shirts and have to sell.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
Well i guess you can see why these guys are role players
they can only do so much for so long but what are you going to do…but it makes you think how deep this bench is and then you think hmmmm the future is bright but i am tired of thinking about the future i want it now!!!!
A poor Blazer in the State of New York
Ouch.
That was too bad. I really wanted to win this game.
That being said, this team is decimated. We’ve won some good games, and that’s great, but it just can’t happen every night. I’m still very happy with how the team is playing, in general.
As badly as we were shooting, we were still in this game up until the end. Bad shooting nights happen. I much prefer that to nights where our defense isn’t there.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
no kidding
Should of exploited Kevin Durant’s non existent defense. Ah, well.
I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
stay classy MB

He's a smug jerk of the highest order
Rice is at least entertaining, Barrett makes me wretch

I really like Rice
I’m pretty neutral on Barrett, but that’s because I’m a Blazer fan. If I weren’t, I think I’d have pretty unpleasant things to say about MB.
Still on the Rex bandwagon.
I just hope that after Brandon comes back this slump wont continue
i doubt that it will since our leader will be back but i pray
i don't see the need to hype KD tonight.
i already knew he was a good player.
but he didn’t do ish during their most significant run tonight.
Brandan Haywood is not worth trading any young piece...
he would be a 25 game rental.. and the Wiz want either Rudy or Batum… I’m not adverse to trading Bayless to be honest..

Yea
I wouldnt even be too upset to see Rudy go either… Rudy is so cheap though.. I was surprised to hear there were talks of trading Haywood for Przy staright up

Portland 5-0 with Oden and 0-1 without against OKC. Coincidence? I think not.
Founder of the "Crash Batumcoot" Movement.
Not so much Oden.
But Blazers need Roy and one Center. Can’t compete in the NBA without a legitimate center. Blazers have done well enough to stay afloat, but it’s catching up to them.
Oden shouldn’t be given this much credit.
"I'm at the thingamajig talking the yakety-yak" - Kenny Smith
I think it's cause OKC was sucky back then
They’re still kinda pretenders this year but they’re better. GO would of had a field day in this game, though.
I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
GG guys.
I don’t really consider this a true match, considering the obvious injuries. I’m excited to see if we can still handle you after everyone’s healthy. I think just about everybody here could get pumped about an Oden vs Durant playoff series. To making it happen in 2011, cheers.
not really
Oden vs Durant.. meh.. they would never guard each other
I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
Well tough loss...too bad.
I would of thought the Blazers would have brought there A game, (in both of the last two games), but instead they show everyone why we won’t make the playoffs with out a healthy Roy.
I’ve been getting really disappointed in this lately, but I think that because they’ve played so well earlier in the season. I hope we can still make the playoffs, but I do not want that eight seed, I don’t wanna see LA first round.
I just hope Roy really does come back after the allstar break, and I hope the team can get it together and go on a 10 – 15 game tear…wishful thinking..
It's been a tough season
but from what I’ve seen on here, you guys are being way too easy on the Blazers. Injuries or no, they laid down at the beginning of the fourth quarter. It feels like they are finally mentally exhausted and no don’t have the fight in them they had a month ago. Up by a point, playing a team with whom they are going to have to battle to make the playoffs, no Durant in the game, and what happens? They let a guy who has scored the last several baskets for the Thunder get open 3’s and make an uncontested dunk. On offense, as usual when things are going badly, nobody wants to shoot or drive, and we end up with last second flings at the basket and some of the worst turnovers I’ve seen this year. Instead of stepping up with Roy out, they seem to have regressed back to waiting for him to “save” them, which is hard to do from the bench.
What a bizarre year. I’ve been as proud of this team after some games as I’ve been in 25 years as a Blazer fan (and they weren’t all wins), and after other games, I’ve been as disgusted as I’ve ever been in 25 years. Unfortunately, this game goes in the second category.
