Dame's had several of these bad passes around the post tonight, but we're lucky that they're not being converted on the other end. Also thank goodness he hit that three.

Damian Lillard From WAY DOWNTOWN.

He made it but sheesh, every time he shoots out there I cringe

I should clarify and say that the intent of the passes isn't bad. It's a good mismatch to take advantage of, but the passes are coming in a little lazy instead of strong and precise.

Win or lose we have a ton to work on before game 2

The Blazers absolutely have to win this game. If they lose a game when PG/Russ/Schroeder are shooting this bad, I feel like the rest of the series could go downhill quickly.

I have no idea what he was doing on that last pass to Turner, that's like when a QB passes into tight triple coverage. Dame, historially has struggled with tight playoff defensive pressure.

We haven’t exactly been sharp either. Bad passes an iso ball have been the story tonight. In a weird way that gives me hope because if we can win a playoff game looking this mentally off I think we can win in 6 or 7 with our hca

Hood has made a few shots, he hasn't had many attempts.

Wow Thunder have 17 O boards. Almost all of them have been effort boards too. Just be clean for the last 6mins Blazers. Box out, sound passes, attack the rim.

Schröder is the 4th qtr darkhorse

They are all attacking the basket on every miss, I think part of it is they are also missing shots badly so it leads to more rebound potential for the offensive team.

Feeling uncomfortable about these last five minutes.

How the hell is that a defensive foul???

Post #115 » by **The Sebastian Express** » Sun Apr 14, 2019 9:46 pm

Great find by CJ.

Something tells me kanter will get a decent contract this summer

It's funny to see these commentators want to heap praise on the OKC even though they have been trailing all game.

The only thing worse than our turnovers is that Johnny Depp ad

Missed FT's are a big problem in this game, if we lose this one it's on that. We have multiple great FT shooters missing at the line.

I feel nervous with Harkless closing out the game. Just shrinks driving lanes. If only Hood could defend PG.
