Game Thread GAME# 33: BLAZERS @ LAKERS - DECEMBER 23, 2017 - SATURDAY, 6:30 PM (PST), NBCSNW

[KingSpeed]

Wow Harkless. Way to step up. It's ALWAYS good to beat the Lakers. How many in a row is it now, 13?

 

[Cippy91]

So uhhh cj and nurk that game. Yeah...

 

[EGame]

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you all have a great rest of your weekend and holiday.

Blazers are undefeated when Lillard goes shirtless!

 

[Mediocre Man]

I love that Zach finished the game. I also love that Maurice played strong, I've been greatly disappointed in him this year, and I hope this is the first of many strong games from him.

Same for me, regarding Moe

And when SPD is pantsless b/c Dame is shirtless...? a

 

[Strenuus]

Hark, Bazz, and Collins won us that game.

CJ was bad again.

Nurk is.... oh dear lord.

Isn't it a little odd that Dame is out and all of a sudden Harkless shows up?

Now that the game is over, I hate to say it but Ball isn't that bad.

Although he didn't really seem to have a huge impact in the game (and i'm sure if he wasn't a Laker I'd like him more).

 

[Gronk Brady]

Harkless was right when he said he just runs track out there... he knows what he’s capable of but never gets opportunity with McLillilard iso ball... tonight’s game was one of most entertaining this season... if I don’t see Nurk play another minute I would be happy. Collins needs to be our starting center ROS

 

[BlazerBeav]

2nd longest streak in history vs the Lakers - Dallas currently has a 14 game streak against them too, and Boston had 18 in the 1950s.

[UKRAINEFAN]

Napier only one turnover in 35 minutes of ball handling.

I think that's more of a coincidence, BUT he (Mo) played good last year with a passing big man. he and Zach had a couple of good plays together.

 

[BrunoSOC]

What a win. They show heart tonight. Moe played what we always want him to play. What a game for him and bazz. CJ was awfull but try hard to impact the game. Collins have big potential.

green font?

Ok, I streamed the second half from the back seat of a truck on I5. I really like Collins. I would pick him over Kuzma 10 times out of 10. Now Swanigan on the other hand......

It felt good seeing Mo smiling in the post game interview.

 

[Scalma]

Time to think about running some post plays for Harkless. And not just when Lillard is out. More of that, less of CJ isos

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Now that the game is over, I hate to say it but Ball isn't that bad.

Although he didn't really seem to have a huge impact in the game (and i'm sure if he wasn't a Laker I'd like him more).

Ball is good. He's been playing really well lately.

 

[BrianFromWA]

"I'm mad I ain't do it first!" LOL

 

[riverman]

Napier only one turnover in 35 minutes of ball handling.

Ball had 5 turnovers

 

[SynTax]

Nurk is starting to look really frustrated with himself. You can tell all the misses at the rim are starting to mess with his game.

Loved Harkless having himself a game. The team will be much better going forward if he comes out of his funk. Collins is the man. Looking forward to him being a Blazer for a long time!

Ahhh. Truck Stop Love.... And they say cheap thrills are hard to find!

Just watched the Replay from collins Block on Kuzma on his 3point attempt 30 seconds before the end. That was a clear Foul, luckily we got Away with that.

hope they weren't cloth seats...those stain badly

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

They won.

Joy.

 

[Labinot41]

Lakers broadcaster was crying why Harkless came out of nowhere

Yeah, but Kuzma stepped over the half court line and was allowed to keep going. Karma.
