Now with the Tokyo Apach

GAME 6: Blazers VS Oklahoma City Thunder

Road trip #1 is in the books. After a successful 3-1 road trip, the Blazers come home for a two game homestand against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Toronto Raptors.

The Thunder roll into the Rose City fresh off a 92-107 Wednesday night loss to the now 1-4 Los Angeles Clippers. The Thunder, 2-2 right now, opened up the season with a convincing home win over the Chicago Bulls, but have looked vulnerable since: A last second win over the terrible Detroit Pistons, and a blowout losses to the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Clippers.

The Thunder on paper.
Starting five: Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Jeff Green, Thabo Sefolosha and Nenad Kristic

Off the bench: Serge Ibaka, James Harden, Daequan Cook and Eric Maynor

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
The Blazers selected Greg Oden over Kevin Durant Read the rest of this entry »
