Game Thread GAME# 14: BLAZERS @ LAKERS - NOVEMBER 14, 2018 - WEDNESDAY, 7:30 PM, ESPN

Stotts did absolutely nothing to prepare them for this game.

 

[LayneStaley]

I hope ET punches Lance

 

[B-Roy]

I bet the Lakers 2 best 3 point shooting games so far this season have been the past 2 games against us. Theres literally no way they shoot this well any other time

Half assed close outs and lazy rotations. You would think they would show some focus after losing the last one but I guess not.

 

[ripcityboy]

At least the Ducks play tomorrow.

Stotts did absolutely nothing to prepare them for this game.

He did absolutely nothing in the game either... Like I know he’s a good dude, and he’s not a bad coach, but Id really like to see them try someone else...

 

[Shaboid]

At what deficit do you sit the starters (minus Layman)?

 

[Jade Falcon]

Thank God this game isn't in Portland. The 12,000 Lakers fans in attendance would be unbearable.

 

[H.C.]

He can't possibly be the difference maker here.....

I actually believe he is.

I don't have a super high opinion of Stotts on a few things.
While I do believe Layman & Sauce both have the ability to help on the lob pass from the weakside. They might not be asked to by Stotts.
Harkless tho does help on the weakside. Prolly due to instincts.

McGee isn't having easy lob passes to him with Harkless there.

 

[VenomXL]

Gotta drop those open looks to have a chance.

He's a coat tail rider....

 

[Shaboid]

At least the Ducks play tomorrow.

 

[LuckyShot]

Oh, flagrant my ass.

 

[Jade Falcon]

He's a terrible coach, wtf you talking about? What has he done for this team?

And don't think he's gotten us to the playoffs.....THAT is Dame's effort, not Stotts.

 

[B-Roy]

Layman looks clueless every trip down on defense. Literally looking around before going on his assignment.

 

[Five Second Violation]

"not making a play on the ball" this announcer is a dumbass

 

[ripcityboy]

The basketball team not the football team.

 

[LayneStaley]

What a FUCKING JOKE!

 

[EGame]

does lebron bitch about everything? God damn baby

 

[LuckyShot]

Fuck off, LeBron. You already get to play under different rules than everybody else.

 

[B-Roy]

I'm actually kind of curious if Melo would help the Blazers in situations like this.

 

[Chris Craig]

Thats not a flagrant. Lebron is a bitch

 

[Shaboid]

The basketball team not the football team.

One of their college sports teams, not the Disney movie hockey team. My hatred knows no bounds.

 

[EGame]

I'm actually kind of curious if Melo would help the Blazers in situations like this.

Not on defense, maybe on offense over someone like layman, but I doubt it is a significant difference.

 

[Chris Craig]

If Lebron is that good why does he have to bitch so much

 

[BonesJones]

McGee isn't having easy lob passes to him with Harkless there.

Or if we switch up our pick n roll defense....

 

[B-Roy]

Is Mark Jackson a moron? He literally said "by definition it's a flagrant, but I don't think it's a flagrant".

Now they call it a common foul and Mark Jackson is confused as fuck. ??????

 

[Natebishop3]

Carmelo Anthony come on down!

 

[BonesJones]

I'm actually kind of curious if Melo would help the Blazers in situations like this.

Our awful defense is losing us the game and you wonder if Melo would be able to help? Lol.

 

[ripcityboy]

One of their college sports teams, not the Disney movie hockey team. My hatred knows no bounds.

That's your problem.

 

[BonesJones]

Carmelo Anthony come on down!

Maybe we can give up 140 instead of 130!
