Said by nobody ever.

If you put an all non defensive team together he is on it.

No doubt.

Ok.

Thought you were talking about other seasons as well when they were a lower seed and played the Warriors

Nah.

No shame in losing to the Warriors.

Although, 2016 they beat the Clippers without Blake and CP3, then were down 3-1 to the Warriors without Curry. So I am not really sure what to do with that.

But some (Barkley) were actually picking Portland to win the West before the Nurkic injury. That just seems crazy to me.

That said, with the Rockets, Jazz and Warriors all on the top half of the bracket, somebody has to make it to the WCF.

I think there will be expectations for this team given the overall draw.

Saw Raymond Felton on the bench.....with his jacket on, he looks like he's 260-270 pounds.

 

[bksballer89]

Portland firing on all cylinders also

 

[Heatles84]

That Thunder defense is non-existent.

 

[bksballer89]

Portland on fire....

Seth Curry looking like Steph

Making comments like this after one quarter of play is dumb.

OKC defense is good. Just look at the defensive stats.

No surprise they settled down and are playing better defense now. 13 points in the first 8 minutes of the quarter for Portland after scoring 39 in the 1st quarter
