Portland is a great shooting team so it's normal for them to have a nice scoring streak. We should be able to score 120 points without Nurkic and not +/- 100

Un-freaking-believable.

Tie game at the half. Down 13 after three.


This team and this organization is a joke.

They were 1.1 percentage points better from 3 than us from 3 in the regular season.

So sick of having hope. I'd rather just suck and win 25 games a year.

We get a team in the 1st round that we swept in the regular season. They don't have their 3rd best player and a player who is always a HUGE thorn in our side and they're about to go up 2-0 on us.

Screw this.

Felton has provided absolutely nothing. If he's not making shots, he's worthless. We just let him guard Dame Dolla on a buzzer beater. The brilliance that is Billy Donovan.

Who else should guard him? Russ is all up in his head, Schröder isn't a good defender either and we literally don't have a single bench wing.

9/51 from 3 in the series so far.

This huge run started when Aminu hit that BS fadeaway from behind the backboard 15-feet out to beat the shot clock. We get that stop, we have the ball down 6 and a little bit of momentum.

Yep. This all points back to Presti's ineptitude and inability to adjust to today's NBA.

The fact that Presti pretty much has no choice but to play Raymond Felton in a playoff series says all you need to know about our GM.

9/56 from three for the series.

We've almost missed 50 threes in two games.

I give up on this team. Losing way too much time and energy for such a stupid team. Fire Presti

So we have the player that gets knocked to the floor and we're the ones that get called for the foul.

Portland is playing a lineup with one guy who's a decent defender in Harkless. We should be running them out of the **** gym, but instead of doing that we're bricking and bricking and bricking.

Well, if we win both in OKC, we still have a chance.

How in the hell did we sweep this team (with Nurkic) in the regular season?

They have been our daddy through two games in this series.

Makes no effing sense.

That first round 3 peat exit has a nice ring to it.

Meh another loss. It's okay we can win both at home! I'm not losing hope. Russ played terrible let's not forget he was the one that showed up on game 1.
Grant and Ferguson are the two ones that need to step up for real though. We can still turn this around don't lose faith brothers. Thunder up!
