Game Thread 2022-23 Game #46 - BLAZERS VS LAKERS - JANUARY 22, 2023 - SUNDAY - 6:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

[TBpup]

Nas now playing Center?

 

[Hoopguru]

Live and die by the three.

 

[ehizzy3]

Free layups for the lakers

 

[Cugel]

just lebron making layups. Billups needs to do something. Maybe he just cant figure it out.

 

[ehizzy3]

Did I miss where Hurd is or has nothing been said?

 

[MickZagger]

Live and die by the three.

Yep

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I know they have their hands all over Lillard the entire game, but he needs to stay centered.

I saw him and his hot wife have their own tv show on KGW now

Fire Billups in this timeout. JFC. Going super small against a team whose only hope is to score inside is INSANE.

 

[Strenuus]

So far so good. It's a game of runs so I'm not worried about it.

Loved the move. Extend him. That's just 200 iq thinking. Makes all the sense in the world to me.

 

[Cugel]

RUSS IS IN!

 

[PCmor7]

This team is dumb.

Looked like a Stotts team playing with the lead in the 3Q: Go up big, get lazy on both ends, get loose with the ball, take bad shots, let them back in the game.

And then of course foul foul foul foul foul foul foul. The refs didn't call one where Sharpe was fouled, but this mostly was a product of the Blazers not attacking on one end and not moving their feet on the other. Dumb.

 

[ehizzy3]

What was that Nurk

 

[riverman]

That's like 3 3's Sharpe has bricked in a row....

 

[Cugel]

nurk wtf was that? they are seriously going to give this one away arent they?

 

[TBpup]

Nurk.....WTF weak ass crap was that? Against twig Gabriel? Seriously?

 

[TBpup]

Nice airball Ant. If that hadn't hit the backboard, it would have landed in some fan's lap.

 

[Tince]

Blazers are the first team in NBA history to start the game down 18-4, get outscored 20 by in the 3rd, and still have the lead heading into the 4th.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Nurk looks like he knows he’s on the trade block

 

[DDolla]

Can’t even trust this team even they’re up by 25 at home… smh

 

[Cugel]

has there been a more pathetic quarter in recent history?

 

[Hoopguru]

Lol

 

[MickZagger]

Here we go…

 

[Cugel]

Can’t even trust this team even they’re up by 25 at home… smh

you werent wrong, unfortunately

 

[LayneStaley]

This is team is frustrating to watch, just like last year and the year before. I don’t think it’s scheme, I think it’s the roster. It never got built right around Dame, and still isn’t. Why are we so fucking short? And why did we pay GP2, dude is way overpaid for what he brings.

 

[TBpup]

Well, we only gave up 20 points of the lead in the 3rd. SMH....

 

[THE HCP]

Can the guy who was saying it was Billups fault that Nurk is struggling PLEASE tell me more.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Just ridiculous. Refs let them start grabbing and hacking and we played right into it

 

[PCmor7]

That was embarrassing.

Freaking team thinks they're the Showtime Lakers and the game's over when they get the lead.
