And the Corey Brewer experiment begins with a 7-0 Blazers run to take the lead.

So, are we ever going to know or understand why, in his 10th NBA season, a career 82% FT shooter inexplicably turned into a 75% FT shooter?

Josh Huestis is so freaking worthless

With no Melo, tonight is a good night to see if this team is worth even trying to salvage in the offseason.

Re: 3/3 - 9PM CST | G64: Oklahoma City Thunder at Portland Trail Blazers
Well, this quarter has been an unmitigated disaster. In about 90 minutes this will wrap up a disastrous sports night. Hogs lost at Mizzou; UNC got outscored by 20 in the second half and lost to Duke; and it looks like at this rate we're going to lose to the Blazers.
It's happened before, but 0-for-3 Saturdays during basketball season always make it difficult to fall asleep at night; especially when UNC loses to f****** Duke.

This a **** playoff game. I'm having such a good time just watching this. Westbrook has to calm down or he's going to get ejected.

Russ has missed so many dunks this year.

Russ is just out of control. Currently 6-21.

Re: 3/3 - 9PM CST | G64: Oklahoma City Thunder at Portland Trail Blazers
Every year if/when we play the Blazers in Portland on the second night of a back-to-back it's essentially a schedule loss. Even when we had teams that were actually good, if/when we played in Portland on the second night of a back-to-back (because Portland has been, at worst, competent every year over the last decade or so), it's been a schedule loss.
There's the obvious second night of a back-to-back fatigue is a factor on top of our players' body clock being two hours ahead. This game started at 11:00 PM OKC time.

Re: 3/3 - 9PM CST | G64: Oklahoma City Thunder at Portland Trail Blazers
Steven Adams isn’t even quick enough to contain this scrub connaughton who I’ve never freakin heard of. Maybe switching isn’t a good idea. Notice that we haven’t seen Nurkic guarding Russ?

You guys Suck this year. It has nothing to do with b2b or anything else.

Yeah, this one's over. Up three after the 1st quarter, outscored (so far) by 13 in quarters 2-4.

Did I say we were a good team? Everything I said in my post is 100% true. A back-to-back game for the Thunder in Portland is always a schedule loss. If we win it's gravy in past years because we'd win 55+ games regardless.

Re: 3/3 - 9PM CST | G64: Oklahoma City Thunder at Portland Trail Blazers
On another note...
I've done a really bad job closely following the NBA as a whole this year. I didn't realize the Blazers had climbed all the way to 3rd in the West. They aren't even that good historically speaking. If they're the third best team in the West, regardless of their record, they're a bad 3rd best team in the West.
