Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Portland Trailblazers 11/12/2010

[Assassin [VII]]

What a rare miss by Durant. Luckily, they still managed to win the game.

The defense was a little better in the second half but those were some scary breakdowns to end the game. The last few defensive possessions, and that wide open three for Rudy...

17 minutes for Harden

that said wow what a game glad to get the win

[slick_watts]

Harden was playing pretty well he should have played more.

Brooks needs to 100% STAY AWAY from the ultra small ball. Two games in a row we gave up big points with that lineup on the court.

Westbrook is playing out of his mind. We really need to get the defense back together because the way Russ is playing we will be a dangerous team.

[Joel Embust]

17 minutes for Harden

No idea why he got subbed out THAT early in the fourth. He was on his way to a serious breakout game. Still, he should be happy about his performance and build on it.

Ibaka's presence in the paint can't be overstated- he altered a ton of shots down the stretch. Westbrook stepped up his game in the playoffs, carried it through FIBA and is just killing it at the moment. Durant coming alive with those 4 straight buckets was awesome. Hopefully we see more of this closer/killer side of him in the 4th quarter this season. 61% shooting from him, thats more like it.

If the Thunder had their old defense, no one is beating them with Westbrook and Durant combining for 70 points.

Why did Ron Adams leave anyway? Was it money related, the fact that Tom Thibodeau is a defensive minded coach and he wanted another challenge? I thought the coaching staff from last season was perfect and that the team was building towards a championship, together. Doesn't make sense to build when you lose key components.

He's from Chicago and is friends with Thibodeau.

I guess that makes sense.

Blazers fans are very bitter, I shouldn't have visited that board. Went there to tell 'em that it was a good game and that both teams played terrible defensively and they went all crybaby on me. Elementary school stuff really.

Every other player in the NBA should just lose 30% of their weight and get shoved around on the floor only to get sent to the free throw line 10 times a game. OR they could just freight train into the lane 70% of the time not even knowing what they're doing only to get bailed out by a foul call...

Other than that, Serge Ibaka looks like a franchise big man, god, you guys are set.

[wiff]

My feeling are kind of hurt right now. I misspelled Oxygen wrong earlier. I don't spell check my posts typically because I'm lazy. Blazer fans made fun of me for it. I think I might go cry. Oh wait my team just kicked your teams ass twice in two weeks. I guess that will make me sleep a little better tonight.

Well considering he out played LaMarcus tonight and LaMarcus is your franchise big, I guess you might be on to something. I predicted a season low for LaMarcus tonight. He scored 10pts, his low so far is 8. DAMN IT NONAD HOW COULD YOU LET THAT 15FOOT TURN AROUND JUMPER GO IN?

Maybe I won't sleep well tonight? Who am I kidding I'm going to sleep like baby.

Hey Farzi come quote this post and put it in the Blazers forum too.

Ibaka 12pts, 7rebs, 1dimes, 2stls, 4blks, 1TO.
LaMarshmellow 10pts, 5rebs, 2dimes, 2stls, 1blk, 6 freakin TO.

Ibaka owns Aldridge! OWNS HIS ASS! OWNS HIM I TELL YOU!

Ownage

Hey wiff I know your man Ibaka made LMA work tonight but give Nenad some credit too. He gave up one bucket to Aldridge in the post and it was a contested fade away. Both guys did a heck of a job on him tonight, pretty much the lone defensive highlight of the game.

bunch of whiners over there

[wiff]

Just wanted to let you guys know I slept real good last night, thinking about Westbrook getting to the rack at will and Durant hitting those four straight buckets.

You know what Slick I slept so well I'll even give Nenad credit for his "D" last night.
