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

[James lamphear]

Our bench had 45 points tonight. We out rebound by 6 and we had 27 assist. We only gave up 10 thees tonight. Defense was better all round and Davis wasn't not factor in this game. James got his but we made him work for them that's all you can do.

I AM GOING TO HAVE SOME LIGHT READING TO DO ON THE LAKERS BOARD.

I AM MAKING POPCORN.

My wife’s taking over the TV sounds like a good idea to me!! Wish I had some popcorn.

 

[Tince]

I can't read GTJ's personality

I think he was high

 

[Chris Craig]

RoCo shut Davis down. Completely.

And Jones Jr owned Lebron's ass

 

[Cugel]

Losing howard and green hurt, rondo too

 

[Pinwheel1]

To win a game where Jones and Roco go 0 for 11 from three is pretty amazing.

Yeah, 3-18 overall. Covington I think will be better. But I do like what Jones is bringing. The block on LBJ was fun to watch.
Hood looks better each game so hopefully, that will help the bench.
Trent of course was great.

 

[JoshuaHall]

DJJ and Covington being able to switch AD/LBJ pnr is huge

Yeah ReCo not only got a million steals he really shut down AD. Amazing.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Great coaching, obviously

If only anyone on the NBA TV team thought so.

Unfortunately for you, they don't.

I hope you're getting paid well.

We keep winning in spite of Terry’s terrible coaching. What I was impressed with was the defense, especially the active hands by our guards and forwards.





Oh wait, didn't Terry implement a new defense for just this kind of behavior? Ummm. Yeah, Terry still sucks at everything always.




Am I doing this whining thing correctly?

This shows how much D matters when your guys can go 3/18 and still have an outstanding game. I love it.

Nah, they're a better team this season. We are a terrible match up for them but they will have the best record in the league at the end of the regular season and will likely win the chip.

No Melo...

 

[brooklynballer]

Did our lead get smaller or bigger after that substitution? Did it lead to a win or loss?

Learn to comprehend my friend. Was I talking about this game or the two before?

You got it down. Imagine how much fun you will have when we lose.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Please share!

I'm glad you finally believe in data, I'll remember that!

Ask Jeeves on pre/post Nurk acquisition assists, points, field goal percentage and three point percentage.

 

[Scalma]

Jones and Covington are like Aminu and Harkless, but on all the drugs.

I'm in the Blazers Lakers game thread, maybe you got lost.

 

[kjironman1]

Well a win is a win but a win against the Lakers always just feels better.

 

[Chris Craig]

Critized when he calls timeout and when he doesn't. Can't win, even when they're winning.

I am always glad when he calls a timeout correctly which is rare. He waited till the Lakers went on a 15-0 run to call a timeout. You don't wait until you are at a disadvantage to call one, you call a timeout preemptively when the momentum begins to change.

 

[DDolla]

If we can beat the Champs on the road, shit we can beat everyone.

You're thinking small. It worked for a game. It won't for a season.

 

[Tince]

Ask Jeeves on pre/post Nurk acquisition assists, points, field goal percentage and three point percentage.

That proves the Blazers are better with the ball in his hand over Dame or that he's better than Mason Plumlee?

Still doesn’t excuse your lack of comprehension. I can recommend a good community college or two if you want some recommendations.

try all caps for effect!

 

[TBpup]

The W against the Rockets was weak ass sh!t.
This W against the Lakers showed much improved defense, passing, and bench play. Now THAT is a good win.

 

[Chris Craig]

They aren't as good. Howard was better for them. Green definitely...Pope is no Green. Rondo eh....Schroder is just as good if not better

 

[Tince]

You're thinking small. It worked for a game. It won't for a season.

Understand your point, you may be right. I don't want to see Kanter play more than 12 straight minutes, not matter how well he's playing because I think a fresh Nurk is likely to be better than a gassed Kanter. I would lean that direction on a fresh Dame or CJ over a gassed GTJ, but I do respect your point.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Those numbers all regressed when we have gone away from him. Nothing to do with Plumlee who is a great ball distributor for his position in his own right.

 

[Labinot41]

What do we do about Melo now?
