Blazers in "Make Everything They Throw Up From Three" mode. Not good.

3 times Russ and Adams get **** on for 3s.

Make that five straight made 3s for Lillard. I can't even be mad about losing this game. Lillard is making pull-up threes in transition with hands in his face.

2-2 in our last four and almost 1-3 if we hadn't pulled out the close win against the Lakers. And we haven't played a good team in this four game stretch.

We're back to sucking.

What in the hell happened? Hopefully this will be a wake up call for OKC. Poor decisions and mistakes. We are defensively challenged on the perimeter, SMH.

Ugh. I want throw up watching that poor 4th quarter.

Lillard made five straight threes down the stretch and Crabbe made a three, the Blazers went something like 6/7 from three over the last 3ish minutes of the game. It's just one of those games during the dog days where an inferior team at home gets scorching, ridiculously hot from three down the stretch in a semi-close game, and there's nothing you can do about it.

5 threes in a row?? FOH. I had to experience that garbage live.

Mental mistakes...

- Waiters blows an easy fastbreak in the 1st half with a turnover

- Durant makes a dumb decision and walks on a fastbreak in the 3rd quarter

- Waiters blows another fastbreak for what should've been an easy two points in the 3rd quarter

- Adams makes a really stupid pass at the end of the 3rd quarter to McCollum who hits a ridiculous three

That's six fewer points than what we should've had and three more than the Blazers should've had.

Has Step Curry even made five threes in a row this year?

I know Lillard is a great shooter, but him making five in a row is unheard of.

The amount of points off of offensive rebounds....

Serge with 1 board last game and 3 tonight.

Durant nowhere to be found after the 3rd quarter.

That Adams pass at the end of the 3rd that turned into a CJ Buzzer Beating 3 is burning my soul right now :banghead:

Sigh. I'd feel better if maybe, just maybe I had any faith this team could compete in the playoffs. I'm not sure they're a top 4 team in the west at this point. Man that hurts to say, but I'm more disappointed in this team than I am in any other in the west right now. Houston and LA look better, SAS and GSW are levels above. Good teams don't do this constantly and I'm at a point where I need to emotionally get out of it, because they're just miserable to watch. A 6-8 point lead with 3 minutes left vs. a 8-10 seed should be safe. But nope. Just bad.

This is clearly a coaching issue. Donovan is trash. Why would you not even send a double team on a guy who's going insane?

Post #1696 » by **bondom34** » Mon Jan 11, 2016 5:33 am

Oh, and next opponent lost 6 straight, so you know that streak is over, plus the game after is a back to back. 3 game L streak I'm feeling.

I understand that, but there is something to be said for lack of execution. All it took was running some clock out and some smart basketball to put that game away. The little, low IQ mistakes are what killed us. Incredibly unneccessary turnovers and lazy defense killed us at the end. Everyone on this team needs to learn how to execute and hustle on every play. Our guys often play like they have already won the game before the game is over and that needs to change.

They did the entire 4th.

Russ got screened like 3 times in a row. Adams got punked on one of the 3s. Another 3 Russ was psuhed off by Lillard and didn't recover in time and Lillard hit the 3.

They were doubling CJ and Lillard the entire 2nd half, they just looked like clowns in the final 5 minutes. Lillard had 14 points in 3 **** minutes to end the game.

I had a slight feeling that the McCollum buzzer beater to end the 3rd would come back to bite us.

This feels just like those losses against Houston/The Raps early on.

Just a really disappointing effort all around. I know KD has kind of been more passive in order to let Russ work but you really need to him the ball when the offensive isn't clicking. No shot attempts in the last 3 minutes/2 shot attempts in the 4th is unacceptable.

Some also needs to hold Westbrook accountable for his bad defense too... yeah he's leading in steals but he gambles waaaaay too much. He also didn't even attempt to contest any of Lilliard's shots during that crazy shooting display either which is frustrating. Perimeter defense is really the biggest issue OKC has this year imo. Team can score but just can't defend.

Clipper are only a game behind us now... might **** around and end up in the 4th seed if we're not careful
