Lamar and Kevin are sick

Gotcha thanks

 

[Chris Craig]

Bad start

 

[Eastoff]

Lamar and Kevin are sick

Covid has been going around. But it's not deadly to most by now.

 

[Whyachi]

Lakers toying with the Blazers, jump out to 11 point lead. Billups calls timeout

 

[Chris Craig]

Lamar and Kevin are sick

Who is doing the radio then?

 

[Whyachi]

Ayton benched after 2 minutes? Is he OK?

 

[KingSpeed]

Did the Portland Trailblazers trade Damian Lillard so we could watch Malcolm Brogdon and Jeremy Grant lead the team?

I kind of don't see the point of what is going on.

I thought the plan was to try to get off the mediocrity treadmill.

We’re not mediocre,

 

[KingSpeed]

Ayton benched after 2 minutes? Is he OK?

2 fouls

 

[Whyachi]

baby Jerami Grant used to hang out at Mychal Thompson's house

 

[Whyachi]

R3eeeeath !!
2 point game

I used to hoop at club Green Meadows and see Klay Thompson there all the time when he was middle school aged.

 

[Whyachi]

Lakers radio saying Blazers should "definately" trade Brogdon & Grant

 

[Whyachi]

Malcolm in double digits

 

[B-Roy]

Would people be happy if Scoot ended up being a Brogdon level player?

 

[twobullz]

Who is doing the radio then?

I think Travis and Michael are doing both?

Someone tell Cronin. I’m sure he’ll be impressed.

 

[kjironman1]

So everything I’m reading and hearing is that this years draft is actually quite a bit better than what has been projected.
So from here on out this team needs nice competitive losses that give the young guys plenty of playing time.
Can’t afford the Spurs getting another #1 pick without at least trying to be worse than them.

 

[blazerfan11]

Would really like to see Rupert instead of Thybulle.

This game could mean something.

 

[illmatic99]

Why do we suck whenever Ant is on the floor?

 

[Chris Craig]

Why do we suck whenever Ant is on the floor?

Iso heavy

 

[Whyachi]

all 9 Lakers have scored

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Done with Ant ball...

 

[Whyachi]

Brogdon mowing through Austin Reaves like he wants to escape Portland.

 

[illmatic99]

Ants playing like absolute shit.

 

[Whyachi]

Duop doing damage from deep

 

[B-Roy]

What is Ant doing

 

[Whyachi]

Lakers pestering Anfernee, reclaim their 11 point advantage. Billups calls timeout.

 

[illmatic99]

What is Ant doing

Needs to get rid of it early before the double comes. They're too tall and lanky for him to wait that long before passing. Terrible reads of the defense.

 

[Chris Craig]

Simons can't pass a basketball to save his life

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Guess I know now why Ant only iso balls, because otherwise it's a turnover.


Jesus...
