Oklahoma City Thunder vs Portland Trail Blazers: Game #24 Video Highlights

Last night's marathon game between the Thunder and Trail Blazers had a variety of twists and turns that we may have already forgotten in the wake of the controversial goal-tending call at the end of regulation, or the subsequent overtime. If we think back all the way to the beginning of the game in the 1st quarter, you may recall that things didn't start out well for the Thunder. Just as with last week, the team played soft on defense, giving up shots both in the post and perimeter. Offensively they continued to turn the ball over. Fortunately, Kevin Durant recognized the slump and assumed the primary offensive role early on to keep the team in the game. Once the Thunder recovered from their slow start, the game really got cooking.

Check out the highlights here. While they won't give the quality and competitiveness of the game its just due, it still can help us remember some of the highlights of a remarkable game.

To all the Thunder fans who thought that was a legit win...

…from NBA.com/official:

“With six seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, the Blazers’ LaMarcus Aldridge was called for goaltending on a shot attempted by the Thunder’s Kevin Durant (shown below). With the benefit of slow motion replay following the game, it has been determined that Aldridge made contact with the ball just before the ball hit the backboard. Therefore, this should have been ruled a good block and goaltending was the incorrect call. (As determined by the NBA’s Competition Committee, referees may not use instant replay on goaltending calls.)”

for those crying about the call being correct

watch the raping of Harden and Westbrook and the fouls NOT called and tell me that the refereeing was legit.

The missed call was obvious...

To all but the OKC announcers, apparently. Still a GREAT game,despite the false outcome. Just hope next time these teams meet in Portland Foster is there to take his medicine.

the flopping by Portland and non-called fouling

Was equally obvious. Furthermore, LA clearly hooked Durant’s arm before the block (no call) and Harden recovered the ball with 6 secs left. What if he gathers and shoots a three or passes it inside to Westbrook for a dunk? These outcomes could have happened in those six secs and still prevented Portland from winning

Remember that love fest...

a few weeks back some on here had for those poor old sonic fans? Well, last nights game is exhibit A of why I have no time for any of them. Real class, huh? riiiiiiighhhhtttt…..They’re bitter, they’re petulant, and they’re classless.

J.A., why don’t you address this? There has been nary a peep from any of you guys. When is enough is enough? Or do they get another pass for just “bringing attention to their cause and documentary?” B.S. man.

I don't mind the discussion, even if it brings out passionate people

I’ll step in if it starts to turn into an ad hominem attack though, but I operate under the assumption that even if people are going to be mean, other readers can always stop reading, and the petulant ones lose their audience. Personal choice is a powerful thing.

As for me personally re: the Seattle thing, I really couldn’t care less about it, but I understand why many are so passionate about it. Most Sonics fans have perspective, but a handful will continue to voice their angst whenever there’s a venue.
