1. Ball doesn't play and the analysts spend the entire game talking about him and the fact that he is out and how great he is.
2. Ball does play and the analysts spend the entire game talking about him and the fact that he is out and how great he is. Get's every call known to man.
3. The Lakers win and they talk about the future of the Lakers and how bright it is.
4. The Blazers win and they talk about the future of the Lakers and how bright it is.

Please let the Blazers win just to spite the broadcasters and shut them and Lavar up for 2 minutes.

I'm POd that the game that was listed on NBA TV got preempted by Cleveland/Toronto. Hope this one is on.

Go Blazers.

Which game? Haven't most Blazers games been on ESPN 2?

 

[Chris Craig]

Alright....The Blazers keep this up and hope is on the horizon. I just hope Swanigan does not get hurt.

Don't even go there

Courtside is on tonight 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm (CSN and KPOJ 620am).
Kinda like a pre game show.

Just heard on the radio that the Big Baller Bitch might not play tonight.

They're probably afraid that Swanigan will break him like a twig.

 

[Trackjack]

It kind funny the 15 and 16 seed is playing for the championship.

 

[riverman]

I am Stoked!

Bench the 2 white starters, and this team would win it all next June.

HCP should feel NO conflict. There is no "I" in Gutierrez!

YES!!!!! Welcome back bucko...this place was getting moldy without your G league input!!!

 

[Trackjack]

One thing is the Lakers live by the 3. So far this last few game they been shooting very well. Now the Blazers they old fashion there bigs are punishing other teams in the paint.

 

[riverman]

For real. I've missed jlprks posts.

I feel like I don't need to leave the site now......sanity is restored!

Kind of wish Ball was playing and Swanigan could give him a "welcome to the NBA" body check in the lane. Even if Biggie got ejected he would go down in the Blazer hall of fame for that.

And when Ball is on the ground whisper "can't wait to see you in Portland".

 

[riverman]

Awesome job DW!!!!!! Feels like Blazer basketball again! Shoutout to Tpup for making game threads while you're on vacation...Good to have you back!

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Biggie stats:
14.8 PPG, 10.4 RPG, 1.6 APG, 1.1 SPG 0.4 BPG

Ball will be completely Stoked when the Lakers lose this....Stokes is a baller!

What's the official injury status. Is Ball officially out? What about Collins and Connaughton?

It sounded like Collins and Pat were out for the series. I think either could play, but at this point why risk the injury.

Collins will probably not play....Neil said they want him healthy for the big man camp they're sending him to

 

[barfo]

Something I missed - how was the seeding done for this tournament?

That was some of the best news I heard recently (big man camp). I wonder if others are going too (Biggie, Vonleh, Biebs)

Big man camp, hosted by Hasheem Thabeet and Kwame Brown!

The Underdog, Old School Blazers vs. the Over Hyped NBA Darling.

The key to this game for the Blazers is rebounding and turnovers. Which ultimately falls on our over-matched guards. Face it, our guards suck, particularly in their decision making. The only way we win this game is first, the guards and wings need to force misses, so our bigs can clean the boards. Second, if the refs let the Lakers mug and muscle our guards with impunity, and as a result the Blazers keep giving the ball away like they did last night, this won't end well for the good guys.

If they take care of the ball, force misses, and clean the glass: Blazers Win! Blazers Win!!

Fuck the Lakers.

listening to laker talk ...sounds like they expect Ball to play. They are discussing which shoes he will wear tonight........

I suspect that after he meets Biggie they will automagically morph into the following:

The hype is now through the roof in Laker land for Lonzo. Way more than before SL started. Had to turn the radio off.

These are worth more than the zo2's

 

[0-Our!]

Damn, I want our guys to win this SO FRICKEN BAD. Just POUND them. That crap of interviewing B*ll during OUR halftime yesterday really pissed.me.off. So he says he's trying to get a bidding war between Addias and Nike??? Please, please, PLEASE let them both tell him to get lost, and they aren't interested....

On a positive note- GO BLAZERS!!!

I want Swanigan to hit him so hard... that it permanently destroys his AND his dumb-ass dad's abilities to speak!W/ Ballsack playing tonight (despite a supposed calf injury)... who knows, maybe he'll play himself into a career ending injury...? No matter what happens tonight... let's not get Lo' Balled!

They know they are going to lose and want an excuse.
