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

[Robotech]

Well, I won't say it's hard to imagine because we've seen Portland collapse before.

But, I will say it isn't likely since OKC is only consistent at being inconsistent lol

Who knows? Maybe shots will suddenly fall.

Unless Westbrook learned how to play alongside a star player...I don't see how it works.

RW & LBJ??

well that wouldn't work since LBJ needs shooters around him. But the passive-aggressive fighting that would ensue between them in the press conferences would be epic though.

 

[Robotech]

I agree, which is why I don't think it would work.

I don't think he'd have to become a true "pass first" point guard, but he'd have to be willing to let Lebron run the offense late in close games and when they were struggling. I don't think Westbrook would be willing to do that.

Agree that he's a first ballot hall of famer. I think his legacy will be a lot like Iverson. Great player, fun to watch, but a guy who gets lots of stats, but no titles.

Yeah, good point. LeBron would essentially be the point guard, so Russ wouldn't have to take that role. But how good of an off-ball player is Russ? I'm guessing that he's not very good at that.

Maybe, it is possible. Before the playoffs started I would've guessed they'd win more than 1 game.

But, we saw this movie last year...and so we pretty much already know how it ends.

Westbrick & LeHollywood together would be a disaster. Russ would get so frustrated w/o the rock in his hands because the offense would run though you know who that 1 of 2 bad/funny things would happen once he had the ball. 1- he'd shoot everytime 2- he'd hit that fella in the face w/ a no-look pass @ least once a game. But I'd buy tickets to that trainwreck. Talk about entertainment.

Yeah, you'd figure that they'd win more than one game, but the playoffs can be unforgiving to teams with glaring weaknesses.

Perfect for Hollywood.

Also Stotts > Donovan.

Stotts played basketball at the University of Oklahoma. He's always seemed like a great guy.

Pretty sure LeBron would think Westbrook is an ideal compliment.

That should tell you everything you need to know right there.

Hard pass.

Beal and Vucevic would be a much better, realistic option for them.

Yea, RW definitely isn't going to be like Wade & concede to LBJ....soooo yea definitely hard pass.

I mean my goodness...if RW couldn't share with KD he definitely isn't going to play nice with LBJ.

Agreed. I would really like Beal next to LBJ. That would be dangerous - especially if they could add one more decent shooter or someone who can create for themselves.

 

[OregonDucks]

Moda Center having a sale on baby cradles tonight. Westbrook needs one to take a slumber in until October.

 

[MizzouFalcon]

Westbrook is either going to have the game of his life tonight or he and the Thunder completely implode.

The talking heads have been shitting on him all day yesterday and today which is going to kick his ego into overdrive.

Should be a fun game to watch.

 

[thunderc]

I’m not feeling a close game tonight.

 

[jontaejones]

Lillard and McCollum remind me of Thomas and Dumars...

That can shoot better.

 

[jontaejones]

That can shoot better.

All guards these days can shoot better than those days.

 

[MizzouFalcon]

Paul George came to play tonight.
