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

[Shanemansj13]

Even though Portland doesn't have Nurk, I knew this series would be a struggle for OKC. Can't go 12-13 over the final 2 months and just turn on the light switch

Yeah I had OKC in 7, I just thought OKC would play better. The star guys on Portland have been better than OKC and also the role players. Other than Game 3, this series has been a fight but Portland usually has that one great quarter that lifts them over OKC...mainly due to Dame.

Guess this belongs here. Is this a real comment (I missed postgame)

No

Yeah I can't imagine this being real. He would have no reason to say this.

No

Didn't think so. Friend showed me insisting it was real. Told him what Shane said......why would he say something like this?

Yeah Dame isn't like that at all. Seem like a very humble dude

 

[OregonDucks]

Imagine if Lillard can recruit Anthony Davis.

 

[Ojb81]

yeah, go ahead and "next question" that 3-1 deficit, Russell, you little punkass man-child.

 

[MizzouFalcon]

I can't decide if I should be impressed by Portland or disappointed in OKC

 

[OregonDucks]

What Portland is doing with their roster is incredible. No excuses for OKC.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Imagine if Lillard can recruit Anthony Davis.

Lillard McCollum, Nurkic and AD would be sick. They wouldn't have much to put around those 4 but that would be a great 4 right there.

Plus all your friend would need to do is provide a link/source
Heck if he said that it would blow up Twitter and ESPN

Lillard would have to recruit hard because I know AD's thing is he wants to be in a big market and going to Portland would be like a lateral move within the market size.

Westbrook doing Westbrook things. Lol

Has there ever been another player in the league where that statement could be completely true no matter how good or bad he's playing?

 

[trojanfan12]

That's one thing I really appreciate about Steph. For a superstar, he rarely complains about calls. Another one that comes to mind is Kawhi but yeah excluding those 2, the other stars/superstars bitch a lot

To be fair, Kawhi might bitch if he knew how to talk. lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

Lillard would have to recruit hard because I know AD's thing is he wants to be in a big market and going to Portland would be like a lateral move within the market size.

Lillard and CJ seem like good guys though. Who wouldn't want to play with those two.

 

[trojanfan12]

Some suggestions are trading him for Kemba or seeing if the Lakers are desperate enough to add another star next to LeBron that they would part with some of their young players.

If I weren't a Lakers fan, I would be all for this because...my God could you imagine what that might look like? lol

But as a Lakers fan...this can not happen.

And would be all over the ESPN shows, too.

Oh they are definitely good teammates, Lillard right now is showing he's one of the best guards in the league. It's the market though that can be a huge turn off for any free agent prospect. You can either be a big fish in a small pond in Portland, or you can try and be a big fish in a big pond elsewhere in the NBA.

On top of that he's from Oakland. No way he's taking shots at the Warriors and trying to rile up that fan base. The Bay loves Dame.

Also Stotts > Donovan.
