  1. Tough game to watch, but wasn’t expecting a win. Happy to see Yang get some minutes, and I wouldn’t mind seeing Dillon Jones getting called up and get a shot.

  2. Yang Hansen 8/4/3 with 1 steal and 1 block in 17 minutes isn’t the worst line for someone as green as he is against a stacked OKC team. 3/11 shooting is 😬 though

  3. Well, at least we get to say we’re one of the only teams that beat the Thunder in the regular season.

  4. I watched like one quarter so can’t really give any analysis but this was the ultimate just throw the game away ever. Healthy Thunder v Hurt Blazers when they have a winnable game tomorrow and a massive game Wednesday for NBA cup.

    Also, shows how many levels away we are from top of the level competition. Thunder are insanely good and deep, basically no holes 10 deep. Wouldn’t lose a second of sleep over this L

  5. Clingan has taken a leap in the last week it seems. He was a bit lost to start the season but now he’s contributing more.

  6. – I kind of liked the fact OKC stole Deni’s Cena theme when they got and 1s. It was appropriately petty and pretty funny.
    – To beat OKC you need everything to go well, The fact Deni couldn’t hit a 3 was enough to make this game unwinnable.
    – There were few fake fouls on SGA, missed fouls on Deni and no whistles on OKC players pushing players. also really weird moment when the refs basically waited to give time to OKC to challenge the foul on Clingan (it was a Clingan foul, so the fact that it was overturned was fair), I would kill for honest refing in this league, we didn’t lose due to that though.
    – Rupes flagrant was bad and endangered Ajay (I think it was him?).
    – I thought Clingan looked good, his rebounding looks amazing.
    – The injuries situation was so bad sidy played both as part of the strating squad but also in Q4 in the garbage time.
    – Yang looked decent but the defence still looks horrible.

  7. SGA is the ultimate like “I hate this guy for how he plays but I can’t help but deeply respect him for how well he plays”
