[THE HCP]

HUGE ramifications here FAMS! MUST win for US!

 

[kjironman1]

So are the Lakers calling up their G-League players to bolster their chances for this game to match the Blazers?
#ChessMatch!

 

[Cugel]

BOOYAH!

[BlazerWookee]

Just for that, Imma swipe a couple twenties out of MrsHCP's tip jar...

 

[blazerkor]

The streak continues (obviously). Vegas has us giving the Lakers 8.5 points. If both LBJ and AD are out I'd say we would have a chance at winning this but any win is going to be hard this season and a win while our only PGs are Mays and Bouyeah just isn't going to be very likely at all. I hope Shaedon and JG hang 30 points a piece on the Lakers and we keep this thing competitive.

 

[THE HCP]

Is this one of those big tournament games? Wonder why the Lakers would sit stars for such an important event?

 

[THE HCP]

Looks like I’ll be going to work late today…..possible active shooter on the Moda campus. God Bless America and people’s rights to have guns right?

 

[THE HCP]

Don’t know if any of you nerds are in the area trying to buy hard drives or inflatable toys or anything, but stay away from Moda, serious on this one.

Fuck! I'm sorry to hear this, be safe bro.

Mrs HCP's collects tips of a different nature.

[blazerfan11]

I am hoping that Minaya will be used as a ball handler together with Thybulle if Mays isn't on the court.
We should never, ever have to see Bouyea play again.

 

[blazerfan11]

Barring a last-minute setback before the game, fans should expect LeBron to play in this one. The Lakers have not been as cautious as they probably should be with the two stars and LeBron has made it pretty clear that he is stoked about the $500,000 reward for the In-Season Tournament winners.

I don’t see anything on this?

[Chris Craig]

It was earlier just after noon. Dude is in custody.

 

[andalusian]

The Lakers have high standards about bathroom etiquette.

 

[kjironman1]

Dude shootin the shit in the shitter.

 

[HailBlazers]

Dude shootin the shit in the shitter.

That's not Portland.

 

[blazerfan11]

Ayton looking good shooting 3-pointers.

He was hitting about half of them from the top of the 3-point line and from the corner.

 

[OneSport3]

I loathe Jerami Grant’s game.

 

[Idog1976]

Luck the Fakers!!!!

 

[illmatic99]

We just dont seem interested in playing.

 

[riverman]

We just dont seem interested in playing.

That sort of mirrors how I feel about watching them play

 

[Hoopguru]

A few laker fans at the Moda….

 

[42N8Bounce]

Sharpe the youngest Blazer ever to reach 1,000 points.

I hope he also becomes the youngest Blazer to reach 20,000 points.

 

[OneSport3]

When Matisse shoots a 3 now, I fully expect it to go in…
