Game Thread GAME# 3: BLAZERS @ LAKERS - DECEMBER 28, 2020 - MONDAY, 7:00, NBATV & NBCSNW

[DUB]

Yeah! Great win! Especially considering the start.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Solid win.

Offense was good, but the defense was what impressed me.

Oh yeah!

 

[PHXBlazer1]

LeBron pouts off the court before time expires..I love it

 

[The Professional Fan]

I refuse to believe this team is this bad

Confirmed.

 

[BlazerBeav]

This was life affirming!

 

[Tince]

So thankful for the great 12 minute stretch from GTJ and Kanter gave the starters!

Also glad we didn't wait until they were totally gassed and let the Lakers come back before we took them out. Brillant!

 

[riverman]

Jones Jr and Covington are awesome on guys like AD and Bron

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

So who tells Melo???

I would do it!

 

[noknobs]

I think he'll be needed this year but right now it's obvious we're just a better team if Melo isn't in the rotation.

That was some great defense.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

LeBron basically in the tunnel before the horn sounds...

 

[Strenuus]

Anthoer win in spite of Stotts!

WHOO HOO!

In spite of RoCo’s shooting I don’t know who gets game ball RoCo or Gary.

 

[James lamphear]

That was a huge win by this team. Both unit play very well this game.

 

[ehizzy3]

Gary said he’s showcasing himself lol

 

[Irish Trader]

Good win

 

[TBpup]

LeBron pouts off the court before time expires..I love it

Kind of a LeBron thing....certainly not the first time.

 

[Chris Craig]

Sorry @THE HCP not fucking sorry!!!

 

[bobf]

But please give Giles some minutes. Melo do us a favor and move on.

 

[riverman]

HELL YEAH!!!!!! TEAM WIN!!!! Trent and Kanter were the glue that kept us in this and Dame and Nurk finished it off tonight!

 

[Mediocre Man]

I’ll still say it.
I hate CJs game. HATE IT!!! Move the fucking ball

 

[DUB]

That interview between Brooke, and GTJ was hilarious.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Great win.

Nothing tonight suggests we shouldn't trade for James Harden.

 

[Labinot41]

Respect to DJJ and RoCo defense

They were great, boxscore probably tells different story but they were great. RoCo and DJJ are definitely upgrades over Aminu and Harkless

 

[DDolla]

Holy Shit... James Worthy just said that the Blazers have a dynamic Trio

 

[Scalma]

That’s the best team in basketball? Hehe yikes.

 

[Tince]

I love when Nurk gets the ball in the high post. He usually makes great decisions.

Now imagine if our entire offense went through him like Jokic in Denver.

I'd prefer Dame have the ball in his hands more than Nurk.

Our opponents would prefer the opposite.

 

[James lamphear]

Nurkic! Finally were you been??

He was watching Kanter ready take his starting position and finally got ass in gear. Plus he came in with a big rest on the bench probably help too.

"I believe in the coaching staff." -Gary Trent

So Trent learned to become a comedian during his time on the bench in the previous game.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Who’s minutes do we give up to get GTJ more PT? All 5 starters were key tonight.

Doesn't matter. CJ and Dame can both use fewer minutes.
