Game Thread GAME# 23: LAKERS @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 6, 2019 - FRIDAY, 7:30PM, ESPN & NBCSNW

[HailBlazers]

F ESPN, "don't worry AD is ok.". Not a mention of Stotts being ejected.

Anyone got a clip of that play?

 

[royo]

So Rondo hit those 3s and they went off. Bron hit 3 in a row as well to bury us, but somehow, if not refs, this game could go other way at some point.
We are so bad on defense and Lakers shoots 47% on 3s, but still their win was setted by refs. That was the only Lakers game I've watched this season and now I know where their record came from. Refs.
And, dear god, I miss Sheed so much on this heads down team..

 

[DUB]

He passed early in the season. Don’t know what happened.

He seems to me to have played worse since we signed Melo. Could be he’s worried about his place in the rotation, and maybe his importance to the franchise; and is attempt to respond in the only way he knows how, scoring.

Perhaps he needs some reassurance from both the coaches, and the senior players.

 

[blazerkor]

Well we lost to a team that is better than us. The bigger loss is losing Hood for the season. Now we'll have to start Baze and he isn't the shooter Hood is. This season is a tough one but I still think we start winning more and will ultimately make the playoffs.

O/live says Hood ruptured his tendon

Edit: Hood left Wednesday’s game against the Sacramento Kings with 4:41 left because his Achilles tendon felt sore. Hood told The Oregonian/OregonLive ahead of Friday’s game that his Achilles was still bothering him, but he felt it was manageable and he would be able to play against the Lakers. That turned out to be a mistake.

I don't think anyone is saying the refs decided this game. But was the officiating so one-sided that it wasn't even competitive by the fourth quarter? Yeah. Were some of the calls absolute jokes? Absolutely.

The Lakers shot better than usual. They would have won this game on a typical night. But anyone who didn't think there were a lot of really weird calls you don't see called that way if you are playing, say, Indiana, I'm not sure what to say.

 

[wizenheimer]

I spent most of the night watching the Ducks win the Pac-12 title. By the time I tuned into the Blazer game it was in the middle of the 4thQ. Don't have the patience, or the sobriety, to read thru this thread, but I have a couple of questions:

* giant bummer about Hood. Am I recalling it wrong when I think that Hood has been missing a game or two because of a sore Achilles?

* I see the Lakers shot 54% and 47% from three. Were they hot or was it typical bad defense by the Blazers

* I did remote over the the Blazer game a few times, When I did it seemed like Dame was getting tons of contact whenever he had the ball. Was that the way the night went?

Blazers now 1-9 against teams with winning records, but with Hood out it's going to be hard to turn that record around. Bad night for Blazer fans...yuck

 

[PCmor7]

I dunno... Clippers don’t have a center do they?

They have everything else and a much superior bench, IMO.

 

[Titan]

BTW, I'd still take the Clippers over the Lakers right now in a fair game.

Unfortunately, if the Lakers are going to be officiated this way the whole year, no one will beat them, and that's a shame, because there are several other teams out there that are as good or better, at least on the same plane. But this star system just kills interest in me. They're good, but AD and LeBron do commit fouls and turnovers. Everytime they miss, it is not a foul on the other team. Cripes.

National ratings are down, NBA’s only solution is to make sure l*kers win the ‘ship. They no good at figuring out other ways.

I hate to say I think there's some truth to that, but their might be. Or you at least get them to the finals. If the Bucks beat them there, it's OK, and makes a great underdog story.

hood was saying his Achilles hurt since last Wednesday.

 

[AldoTrapani]

I swear Simons used to both penetrate, and pass the ball more.

He seems to be settling for jumpers (a la CJ) a lot more lately.

I don’t like it.

I was wrong about him. He’s not that good as I thought. He hasn’t played decent in weeks and weeks

 

[DUB]

Trail Blazers basketball is over for the day/night, so it's over to the NBL for me.

Adelaide @ Melbourne is on right now, and these cities really don't like each other.

If you still haven't gotten you basketball fix, tune in below (not sure if this link is accessible from outside of Australia).

shit...that's not a good look for the Blazer medical staff, especially after the Durant fiasco. Really sucks for Hood

 

[Titan]

Yes, the l*kers are good again and played great, but they don’t need bias refs to win games. Tonight’s game could have been a great battle instead it was clear who would win. That is what ticks me off on the NBA.

 

[TBpup]

23 games into the season and we are 11 game back of the Lakers.

What Lottery player can do for us what Luka is doing for Dallas?

Probably none, and its not being pessimistic but 20 year olds who can do what Luka is doing is like an every 10-15 year type thing, last one was Lebron.

[Jon]

This game really pissed me off. Those refs can eat a dick.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Hezonja: 17min
Tolliver: 10min
Little: 11min

Ok.

 

[kjironman1]

Hope this pisses them off. They had every chance to claw back into that game. Bad decisions and they let the refs get into their heads. I understand that the three is a shot you want to take but the inside game was what was working. I started counting missed opportunities and missed free throws at the beginning of the 4th. Totaled 17 points just off easy transition and missed FT's and open looks from 3. The Blazers had every chance to get back in that game. Hitting a few open threes would have helped yes. But scoring inside would have been a better way to go . The Lakers were cold also between 110 and 120 points.

 

[kjironman1]

Clippers have better depth, but Lakers have the refs.

8 vs 5 is always an advantage.

 

[stampedehero]

My game predict was really close. I stated 134-115 as recalled.

 

[Blazers Roy]

Guys, if this team can work really really hard and have at least 20 miracle games, then they might get the 8th seed so we can watch 4 more games like this in the playoffs!

 

[James lamphear]

Yes the reffing wasn't up to par but really when is it due to it haven't been up par for quite awhile. But what really cost us the game was our defense simple as that. Some reason when someone drive in the paint against everyone of us try to collapse inside the paint and we actually do it half ass and that leaving team wide open at the 3.

Yes we going need signature wins this year and we only got one so far and that's Dallas.

 

[Labinot41]

It's easy to blame the refs, but fact is, they were much better than us, they bullied us and we had no one who could defend them. They could have scored whenever they wanted. If we play them in the Playoffs they gonna sweep us

 

[Blazers1977]

God the NBA is so insufferable. Everything is about Lebitch.

“OMG! Lebron stood next to Hood while he was injured and helped lift him up! What a hero!”

He has to be the center of attention at all times. He actually went and got a mop to get the ball off the backboard... such a corny fuck.

almost as heroic as giving away your disgusting, sweaty shoes that a 7 year old made in a Chinese sweat shop for 3 cents.

Wow! The hate is strong in this one?
