Gotta shoot a bit better than 10% from three in the next game

Re: The third time's the charm - First Round Series vs Portland
I’m so freaking sick of seeing us get eaten alive in the playoffs because Adams is chasing Harden, Mitchell and now Lillard on the perimeter.

Agree even if defending like tonight we would win 90%+ of our games against Portland

Re: The third time's the charm - First Round Series vs Portland
A fitting ending to this game. The amount of contact the Blazers have been allowed to get away with is crazy.

Re: The third time's the charm - First Round Series vs Portland
This really sucks. His defense hasn't been good, but Kanter has still ended up being the x-factor. I'd rather just lose to Lillard, McCollum and Nurkic. I hate losing to a player that was the biggest reason we couldn't get out of the first round two years ago because he was so unplayable.
But, we're the Thunder. That's how these thing work.

Re: The third time's the charm - First Round Series vs Portland
Glad it's a seven game series. We played our D game. The Blazers played their B+ game.
We still had our chances to win in the 4th.
We're better than them. We can still beat them. We just have to win game 2.

Everyone is better when they leave this franchise.

Can't help but think about Felton passing up that easy layup.

New NBA record: Lowest 3P% ever for a postseason game with at least 30 attempts from 3.

That was the moment. I haven't been able to get it out of my mind since, either. That was our moment and Felton forces a pass instead of taking an easy, wide-open right-handed lineup.
Just...eff Presti. Our wing rotation is PG, Ferguson, Diallo, Nader, and Burton. So, as a result, Donovan is forced to play Felton when he shouldn't sniff the floor in a playoff game at this point in his career.
Presti is the problem. He needs to go. He's a really bad GM.

Re: The third time's the charm - First Round Series vs Portland
Defense wasn't the issue (we played terrible defense on first quarter though). How can we expect to win a game if we can't get 100 points and 5-33 from 3...

Passed it to a covered stonehands Noel. Still in disbelief. With that said, he had no business being out there in the first place.

Two times we had the momentum on our side and two times we **** it up and the Blazers went on a mini-run. You can't give away games like this.

Re: The third time's the charm - First Round Series vs Portland
Schroder is so bad. He spent the whole game chucking and missing jump shots instead of attacking the rim. 36 minutes on the court too.
And your lack of wing player depth is just ridiculous, PG13 was barely fit to start yet played 43 minutes and none of the other wings were used. Felton who can't make a layup these days got significant minutes.

Was a must win considering how the Blazers played since the second quarter. We rarely lose when Westbrook plays that well. Our team lost all his confidence and we will struggle to come stronger in game 2
