Game Thread 2025-26 GAME #43 - BLAZERS VS LAKERS - JANUARY 17, 2026 - SATURDAY - 7:00 PM - KUNP - BLAZERVISION

[Everything Beagle]

Honestly, after shooting over 20 free throws to their 3, WITHOUT Deni, you can almost expect it. This many FT's is a little much.

To be fair the Lakers are playing like shiiiiiiit

 

[Everything Beagle]

Well we aren’t missing Ayton like HCP insisted but we are missing Deni a lot.

 

[B-Roy]

I don’t feel like we’re playing well, and these rotations are so odd. They are kind of playing rat ball

Yeah this is bad basketball, but I’m happy we’re up.

It feels like we’re playing with our food. Might bite us later.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Sweet move, Sidy.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Unc waking up

 

[Everything Beagle]

Choo choo! The LOVE train!

 

[Everything Beagle]

Love is playing out of his dang mind

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Love is impressive. I hope we find a way to bring Caleb and Sidy to the regular roster.

 

[crandc]

Great response to LeBron trying to posterize. Still only worth two points. Blazers got it back with interest.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Jerami looking smooth again!

 

[julius]

To be fair the Lakers are playing like shiiiiiiit

True. But to be fairerer....they are missing Luka, Reaves and DeAndre, so their bench isn't very deep.

 

[riverman]

Rob Will just doesn't make mistakes

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Jerami just balling.

 

[riverman]

Clingans 3pt shot has come back down a peg

 

[B-Roy]

We should be up way more. Also allowing 61 points to this squad is criminal.

 

[julius]

Did Jrue get hurt? Or just restricted minutes

 

[Everything Beagle]

True. But to be fairerer....they are missing Luka, Reaves and DeAndre, so their bench isn't very deep.

I mean… *gestures vaguely at our two way players*

 

[Everything Beagle]

LeBron has yet to score when Clingan contests his shot

 

[PCmor7]

Loving the 22 FTs in the 1Q, but also loved outrebounding the Lakers 23-5 in the 1Q. I thought that was a misprint when I first saw it. And two of the Lakers' rebounds were team rebounds.

 

[blazerkor]

Shaedon had to tip his head back so he didn't hit it on the rim on that last dunk.

 

[Cugel]

Is Yang suited up?

 

[PCmor7]

Clingan already 9 and 9 with 2 assists.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Shaedon had to tip his head back so he didn't hit it on the rim on that last dunk.

That was awesome

 

[julius]

I mean… *gestures vaguely at our two way players*

I wasn't comparing, I was just saying that the Lakers are missing 3 starters and like 75 points and 15 assists and over 21 rebounds...

 

[Everything Beagle]

Did Jrue get hurt? Or just restricted minutes

Minutes; plus Love is running the offense better right now

 

[blazerfan11]

True. But to be fairerer....they are missing Luka, Reaves and DeAndre, so their bench isn't very deep.

The Lakers lost to Charlotte at home by 18 points, with Luka and Ayton both playing regular minutes. Who knows if it would matter.

 

[blazerkor]

Did Jrue get hurt? Or just restricted minutes

I didn't hear anyone say he is injured and he's right at 10 minutes so if his restriction is 20 minutes that would make sense.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Clingans 3pt shot has come back down a peg

The growth now will be getting consistent with it
