NBA: 1st Round Matchup: Blazers vs. Thunder

[Robz4000]

You sure? 29 points on 31 shots and the L?

Didn't say he wasn't chucking. He made some slick passes and fought for some boards, but he built a brick house tonight.

[HarlemHeat37]

I never said that, tbh

LMA on suicide watch wishing he was back in Portland

[tmtcsc]

How the is Nurkic standing so soon after his horrific injury? WTF?

[ElNono]

what a terrible shot tbh... I mean, true, it was a tie game, worst case was OT and everybody is going to remember that epic shot from half court, but just terrible shot selection

[Arcadian]

It was a bad shot only because of distance. Perfect way to run out the clock, though. The crazy thing is, he knew it was going in. He hardly reacted when it went in.

[HarlemHeat37]

Russ and Playoff Pee were so good for the first 10 minutes of the 4th, yet so terrible in the last 2

If Nurkic is gonna be out a lot of next season I could see the Blazers biting on a swap of LMA for Nurkic.

[resistanze]

Also Lillard

I don't give a he made it. That's just re ed basketball.

Besides Curry no one in the NBA makes those kind of shots with consistency but Dame tbh

they’d be a legit contender with Lamarcus and a healthy Nurkic.

Nobody in the history of the league other than them and maybe Gilbert Arenas..

Gil also just chucked a bunch of those shots, Curry and Dame hit them at a ridiculous rate.

That's funny, because I pressed Reply with Quote on that post and it appeared.

You don't need to delete that post, dude. You're technically still correct that he's "relentless"...just relentless at being ed in the ass by Lillard.

PG with 36 pts on 70% but Westbrick took 11 more shots

"But he has no one else that can shoot" - Westcancer fans

A step back fade away three pointer from 37 feet?

How good can they shoot from there? 30% at best? It's still an absolutely re ed shot when you needed just one point to win the series.

Nah, he would probably be secretely jelous of all the attention Lillard would get.

Franchise players get to do that, career bench players stand in the corner with their hands ready.

Why on earth would San Antonio do that?

This is how you smartly play an offensive possession to close a playoffs game, tbh:

Westbrook and George both had five fouls. So OT isn’t a huge loss.

But maybe Dame feels like that was the cleanest look he was going to get, and the refs weren’t going to decide series on a foul.

I think including end-of-quarter chuck shots, Dame is like 30%. Curry I read before is well over 40% so it's not intrinsically a bad shot just because of the distance. Most people shouldn't try that, but some can.

Dude, just let it play out.

[Play Boban]

LMA is better now, but he only has a few more good years left. Nurkic has another 10+ years......assuming he stays healthy, which may be in doubt. Nurkic probably has more future value tbh.

I don't know, man. Aldridge doesn't have a lot left on his deal and Nurk is signed to decent money through 2022. Personally I wouldn't be interested in chaining myself to a 300-pounder coming off a horrific broken leg. Especially with Poeltl beginning to put things together.
