This loss hurts. Way too many boneheaded turnovers in the clutch.

Holy crap the Thunder shot 37 FT's in this game, that is just unreal.

Congrats to Dame for passing Drexler.

Super annoyed at how Ant lost us that game by inexplicably stepping in front of Dame on Grant's inbound pass.

Refs bet on games.

Ant is a good player, but his IQ is very low. He’s a terrible play maker and his overall situational awareness is bad. The refs had their agenda this game but we would have won had Ant not blown the game thinking he should get the ball when Dame Lillard is on the floor in the clutch. That hero ball air ball 3 was pretty cringe as well… Perhaps this falls on coaching though. Another late game catastrophe and questionable coaching.

Glad Dame finally passed Clyde, sucks it was in an a loss like this though.

Dame's milestone is pretty special, so I'm happy with that. Lillard's 18,048 points with Portland ranks as the 36th most points by a player with a single team in history. He should easily crack the top 30 by the end of the season:

25. Allen Iverson (PHI) 19,931
26. John Stockton (UTA) 19,711
27. Kevin Garnett (MIN) 19,201
28. Tony Parker (SAS) 18,943
29. Russell Westbrook (OKC) 18,859
30. Isiah Thomas (DET) 18,822
31. Dolph Schayes (SYR/PHI) 18,438
32. James Harden (HOU) 18,365
33. Julius Erving (PHI) 18,364
34. Robert Parish (BOS) 18,245
35. Gary Payton (SEA) 18,207
36. Damian Lillard (POR) 18,048

Ya this one hurts. OKC isnt that bad a team, they generally have close losses and SGA is a superstar, but we gave that away.

The absurdly dumb inbound fiasco, the silly block by Winslow and Dame / Hart playing pinball with each other at the end. We had that and gave it away.

The worst Ant play isnt even the inbound, it was the offensive possession prior to Dame's blowby of Dort - the dribble, dribble, dribble contested 3 he took without a single pass for the possession - horrible.

Hot take - that loss sucked.

Good game but holy crap that sucked to lose like that. Shae is a baller

Think we win easily if Nurk was available. Would feast on anyone that OKC put on him down low. Rough loss.

I like what OKC is building, probably my distant 2nd favorite franchise. Still hate losing.

Dame also made several bonehead passes in qtr 4, joint effort

Is Nurk injured? The Blazers went 2-2 while I've been in Mexico. I fully expected 4-0 with payback against Dallas and 3 gimme games.

Nurk took a few big shots / falls against DAL and HOU if I remember correctly. Probably just giving him a breather. Big tree falls hard.

Was Nurkic even there? Out with a calf injury is what's being reported, but for him to not even be there, especially considering how it was Dame's special night... Strange.
