Game Thread GAME# 1: LAKERS @ BLAZERS - OCTOBER 18, 2018 - THURSDAY, 7:30 (PDT), TNT

[RonBrewer]

How about some GD EFFORT NURK

 

[Cippy91]

Don't understand why we don't just let rondo shoot, stop playing him so close

 

[Titan]

Soft shot by Nurk

 

[VenomXL]

Scoring on Nurk at the rim like he’s four feet tall.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Nurk has been terrible on both ends of the court.

 

[EGame]

this is the kind of defensive effort I expect from Leonard, not Nurk.

 

[Titan]

More soft dunking by Nurk

 

[Rozay]

McGee is doing a lot Ed Davis type of plays out there. Ever since he went to the warriors dude has been playing well

 

[Labinot41]

Nurkic can't even score under the rim when his opponent Player is 6.2 Josh Hart

 

[VenomXL]

Lakers have 800 points in the paint.

 

[trailblazer18]

Nurk has been terrible on both ends of the court.

He has been our worst player, easily. Javale is eating his lunch. Come on Nurk, get it going!

 

[EGame]

mcgee and dame having a chat sitting down as the quarter winds lol

 

[Rozay]

McGee again affecting Lillards shot

 

[Scalma]

Super pumped CJ is untouchable.

 

[LayneStaley]

Without Nic we would actually be getting blown out

 

[Titan]

Can we just let the lakers shoot jumpers the rest of the game

 

[crandc]

Blazers leading at the half. Tie second half, Im happy.

 

[Rozay]

McGee is the mvp of the first half

 

[BonesJones]

Without Nic we would actually be getting blown out

We're playing bad, refs have been bad for us, and we're tied.

 

[craigehlo]

Can we just let the lakers shoot jumpers the rest of the game

Stotts never changes his man on man D. We need to be clogging the freaking lane on them.

 

[Driew]

Well...our offense looks unchanged from previous seasons.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

McGee is the mvp of the first half

It's gotta be Stauskus

 

[BonesJones]

Well...our offense looks unchanged from previous seasons.

Yup.

 

[BonesJones]

In 62 combined minutes, Portland starters have combined for 2 assists.

 

[Labinot41]

Does CJ have a Assist?

 

[Jade Falcon]

Well...our offense looks unchanged from previous seasons.

Of course it does. Stotts is still coach, you know.

 

[illmatic99]

1. Our defense is trash
2. WTF is going on with CJ

 

[Gronk Brady]

In 62 combined minutes, Portland starters have combined for 2 assists.

What did you expect?? Neil brought back the same starters.

 

[H.C.]

The real question is, will the halftime show talk about Portland at all?

 

[Jade Falcon]

See that? Communication. Portland has never had that.

That's the difference between LA and us.
