Blazers vs Lakers Game Thread..........04/10/13

[Reep]

Rookie legs run faster and longer, which is exactly what we need. That and holding our own on the boards.

 

[BBert]

I'd rather they start Freeland. When was the last time a team started 5 rookies? It could be, like, history!!

That would be epic. Do it Stotts! Popovich would!

I think the Warriors did it last spring.

Props to the HCP--you are correct, sir. Started Chris Wright, Jeremy Tyler, Mickell Gladness, Klay Thompson, and Charles Jenkins 4/26/12 against the Spurs (their final game of the season).

This will be ugly.

Add to those facts the likelihood that Portland will be without Nicolas Batum, J.J. Hickson and Wesley Matthews, as Blazer's Edge points out, and this should really be a game that L.A. handles with ease. However, even an easy win Wednesday only puts the Lakers one step closer to the playoffs.

 

[KingSpeed]

Our two best players are playing, Barton is confident, we had two days of rest, and the Lakers are exhausted from last night's game. This is ours. We're favored by 5.

 

[KingSpeed]

also- Lakers haven't won a back to back set all season long

Blazers radio just played the old KEX B-E-A-T LA parody song (to the tune of GLORIA) for the first time since, what, 1991? Made my decade.

Shit, wish I heard that. I remember singing that at a game once. They lost that game.

btw, early prediction.

Lamarcus and/or Damian will have 2 quick fouls in this game. 8/
