We beat them pretty well last time out. However, they had an off game and were in our house. Traveling to Portland could be a different story. If Portland comes together and plays at the top of their game, there's not a lot we can do to stop them.

Just like any game, Durant and Green will be key. However, for us to win against Portland, Westbrook has to dominate Blake. If he can get to the basket, it'll help get their frontcourt in foul trouble. Roy is going to get his, but getting the bigs in foul trouble or Collison really Ding up could be the difference maker.

Looks like the Thunder will come up short big time as they are struggling to score in the fourth.

94-78 Blazers in the mid fourth.

Rough finish... Played right with them the whole way until the 4th. Durant was in foul trouble, but even when we were scoring, it didn't seem natural. It was like going back a couple of months where guys would hit shots independently of others, but there wasn't any teamwork. We also got slaughtered on the boards all night. Our PG was easily our best rounder...
