Game Thread 2022-23 Game #3 - BLAZERS @ LAKERS - OCTOBER 23, 2022 - SUNDAY - 12:30 PM (PDT) ROOT

[Predator]

Hart is our second best player and I’ve said it for a while.

 

[Mr. Robot]

its extremely difficult to be happy for a win after playing like utter trash

im glad we won, every win is important, but dear god, that was really embarrassing

 

[Cugel]

I gave up with 3 min to go, more rhan happy to be wrong

 

[DDolla]

My Heart and it’s only 3 games

Wow man

1. Pat Bev still a total scrub, nice call for the challenge by him. Nice flop, maybe coach taught him how to use challenges.

2. Westbrick is washed, always been overrated. What a chucker, dude literally looks like he just doesn’t care anymore.

Westbrick definitely contributed to our win down the stretch.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

16 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals for Hart. Cronin needs to do whatever is necessary so that he wants to re-sign here and we have the space to do it.

That New Orleans trade is genuinely one that both teams can feel happy about.

 

[Tince]

Hart is our second best player and I’ve said it for a while.

So far I've read we have 5, second best players.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

This team is sucking at tanking.

On the plus side, we're really showcasing Dame well.

We need to showcase Simons!

 

[42N8Bounce]

Oh, yeah! Blazers leading the West/League -



(I could also say 'Lakers last in the West/League')

 

[Wade Garrett]

Hart is our second best player and I’ve said it for a while.

Cronin getting the "Three J's" has turned this franchise around on multiple levels.
Multiple levels.
Eventually, the rest of you WILL notice.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Anyone else having issues with this forum being slow?

 

[Pinwheel1]

Another win where we made a lot of stupid mistakes. That bodes well.

Anyone else having issues with this forum being slow?

During and right after games, it's been awful all season.

 

[Wade Garrett]

The loading of pages on this site has the efficiency of a Westbrook 3 pointer.
Garbage.

That New Orleans trade is genuinely one that both teams can feel happy about.

Hopefully those who were saying it was such an awful trade are open to changing their mind. Grant/Hart for CJ isn't so bad!

 

[PDXFonz]

MVP season?!?

This team is sucking at tanking.

On the plus side, we're really showcasing Dame well.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Hart is our second best player and I’ve said it for a while.

I have to admit it. I was really worried Hart at the 3 was another Powell at the 3. Not so.
16 effing rebounds tonight, combined with his usual good defense and smart play.

If you've seen the Lakers at all, you should know that no lead of theirs is safe.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

During and right after games, it's been awful all season.

Clearly there's a lot of excitement about this year's Blazers--this site hasn't had to handle the amount of traffic it's presently experiencing in a long time.

[DDolla]

We found our PF in Josh Hart with 16 rebs

 

[TheGoldRanger]

I feel that Jerami Grant is everything I wished Darius Miles could have become.

 

[inconceivable]

Boy Dame looking washed out there. No burst, no separation, no shooting, no clutch. Time for a trade!

He is not the same player anymore

 

[Pinwheel1]

Not sure who should have been on the floor with 3 seconds left, but once Gp2 gets healthy. It needs to be him over Dame. Easy switch by the Lakers to get Dame covering LeBron.
That could have been costly. And Chauncey I hope you learned your lesson of having Nurk cover any non-center on the perimeter. There were multiple times when he was out there on LbJ with nobody protecting the rim.

Blazers Uprise Postgame Show!
Blazers 106, Lakers 104
Late game heroics from Dame and a game winning bucket from Grant propel Portland to a win in LA. The Blazers are now 3-0! Come give your thoughts on the game as we break it all down!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Blazers should be 0-3. They’ve mostly looked like poop. I’ll take the 3-0.

Clearly there's a lot of excitement about this year's Blazers--this site hasn't had to handle the amount of traffic it's presently experiencing in a long time.

I don't recall it being near this slow during the WCF run or the bubble excitement.

 

[Tince]

Blazers should be 0-3. They’ve mostly looked like poop. I’ll take the 3-0.

I think you could make a strong case the Blazers shouldn't be 3-0 when every game came down to the very end. Likewise, they shouldn't be 0-3.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Hart is a fucking warrior. He plays bigger than he is. Love this guy.

 

[PDXFonz]

I feel that Jerami Grant is everything I wished Darius Miles could have become.

Their games are similar. Love what we’ve seen from Grant so far!
