Series Thread: 3) Portland Trailblazers vs 6) OKC Thunder

[tlance]

I think OKC blows them out in at least one if not both home games

This series is impossible to handicap, so it likely will be a series of easier than expected home wins.

Yeah.

I think this one goes 7 games. Just has that feel to me.

It is an absolutely shame Seattle doesn't have a team, makes no sense. Portland is a shithole btw, so really if a city in the PNW should have a team it should be Seattle.

If you think Potland is a shithole (and it is), Seattle is worse. But since when does being a shithole city preclude you from having an NBA team?

I guess in theory there is a possibility of a sweep but things could also look much different come Sunday.

True.

End of the day, all the Blazers did was hold homecourt. If the Thunder do the same, it's a best of 3.

It puts a lot of pressure on the Thunder. It'll be interesting to see how they respond, especially Westbrook and PG.

Is Donovan good as gone if Portland wins tonight...?

Is Donovan good as gone if Portland wins tonight...?

I would think so.

I think the real question is what happens to embattled coaches like Donovan and Brett Brown if they win a series or 2?

I think the Warriors decision to fire Marc Jackson should be the template both those teams should use this off season. Because I think it is pretty clear both those teams have underperformed relative to the talent on their roster.

Thunder are 7.5 pt favorites tonight. No way I’m taking them to cover that.

OKC rolls tonight.

This is about to be the shortest game in NBA history.

This is about to be the shortest game in NBA history.

And lowest scoring game of this era

What a shitshow

Watch Celtics-Pacers, it's a good one

Thunder finish strong. Cant let up in the 2nd half

 

[Shanemansj13]

Reminds of the Cavs-C’s last year. Cavs would have these cold games shooting 3’s on the road than all of a sudden they go home and shoot lights out. The crowd matters big time

Russ talking shit to Dame ain’t the best move imo. LOL.
