This will be tough.

Go Thunder!

One good thing we have is that Portland is playing the Clippers then playing us, so we get them on a b2b. However, Utah gets to play us on a b2b so there that. I hope we get this one. Will take some of the pressure of the Utah game.

With Oladipo out, Andre is going to have to continue the great defense on one of Dame or CJ. Russ is going to be to busy concentrating on offense to be able to defend one of them well. Can't have both of them go off like they usually do.

No Dipo tonight.

With dipo I'd be confident, Portland has definitely been under performing thus far but I think now with Vic out our offense suffers as we have to use Christon more and we see some more singler minutes when morrow struggles in defense playing extended minutes which is never a good thing, starters have to play catch up and I don't know if we get over the line

One note re: Portland—our bigs tend to murder theirs. Whichever guy Westbrook gets is going to have a big night, though.

Our second unit leaves so much to be desired defensively and without dipo there to run the offense I really wonder how much time our starters will need to play to win this one

We have to play against Utah tomorrow as well. Sigh... Why did it have to be oladipo and not Joffrey

I think we split the b2b but holy bench ~ -15 in 6 minutes, they do that again and it's probably game

Portland likes to complain about their bench, but they haven't seen our bench. :banghead:

My god this looks like a middle school team on offense. One of those nights. Kanter throwing the ball into the third row. Russ needs to have a seat and stay there. No point in risking injury on a lost cause.

TheKiwi · Post #13 » by **TheKiwi** » Wed Dec 14, 2016 5:30 am

Well

Yep.

Semaj = bad

Meh, onto tomorrow.

Embarassing performance. Portland is not a good team, on a 4 game losing streak and on the 2nd night of a b2b. Can't go out there like that.
