Portland Trail Blazers big man Enes Kanter expects the Oklahoma City Thunder to be “aggressive offensively” in Game 3 on their home floor.
Kanter played for the Thunder before, so he knows better than anyone how loud the OKC crowd gets in the playoffs. The Blazers are up 2-0 in the series, so the Thunder will be playing like a desperate team on Friday and Kanter knows it.
“I know the crowd going to be crazy,” Kanter said, via Casey Holdahl of NBA.com. “I expect the crowd to be crazy and I expect the Thunder to be attacking more, definitely, and be more aggressive offensively and defensively. But I don't think we should be worried about anything. We just need to go out there and play our basketball.”
Enes Kanter put up 20 points and 18 rebounds in the Blazers' Game 1 victory. He only had six points in Game 2, but the Blazers won by 20.
Thunder stars Russell Westbrook and Paul George are probably going to come out firing in Game 3. If the Blazers win in OKC, the series is essentially over. After all, no team in NBA history has come back from a 0-3 series deficit before.
Kanter and the rest of his teammates need to stay composed even if the Thunder go on a big run to start Game 3.
