Game Thread GAME# 33: LAKERS @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 28, 2019 - SATURDAY, 7:00PM, NBCSNW

LOL...as bad as Portland has been they are 15th...just outside of the lottery. It's a Murphy's Law season for Portland so far

Seriously! Watching a horrible season and being rewarded with the 12th pick in a weak draft will just add insult to injury!

We could be watching an early preview of the first round playoffs!

 

[Chris Craig]

Skal will not return

This is the third game in a row I'm watching and all I'm thinking is why am I doing this to myself, I've got plenty of other stuff I could go do...

There’s a lot of Laker fans here at the Moda Center tonight. 3 are on the court wearing ref jerseys.

A preview of the refs fucking us in the ass

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Skal will not return

Forever... or just tonight?

 

[Chris Craig]

Forever... or just tonight?

Tonight at least

CJ needed to be traded two years ago. People are catching on how one dimensional he is.

CJ is basically Buddy Heild in term of talent and impact. Both are volume shooters that suck on defense. The sooner management realizes we need to get longer and more athletic at his spot the better.

We're totally screwed because Olshey bid against himself and extended CJ. With that contract, we'd be lucky to get $0.70 on the dollar if we tried to move him. CJ is going to be a Blazers for a few more years at minimum.

The CFP semi-final is very entertaining!

 

[wizenheimer]

yeeeesh...Doncic another triple double. That guy might end up being a decent player

Well we seem to be in this one

 

[julius]

I didn't think I could hate the Lakers more than I already did. After that first half...I do

There is nothing this current team can do to make me hate them more than I have for the last 35 years of my life.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Ohhh. The refs messed up there. LeBron says that he didn’t commit the foul.

 

[julius]

Anyone hear Javale yell "I ain't that strong ref!" after the foul was called?

Have to admit, that was funny.

 

[wizenheimer]

too much MeJ tonight..that ain't helping

 

[Chris Craig]

too much MeJ tonight..that ain't helping

We need WeJ

 

[42N8Bounce]

For how tough this game is to watch, and how bad a couple of our players are doing, we’re still in this game!

Only down 2. Let’s go Blazers!

 

[James lamphear]

I got our guys credit there staying in the game.

 

[Chris Craig]

WEJ!

 

[BigGameDamian]

Kent Bazemore came to play today!!

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Holy crap you play a tiny bit of defense and you can make it interesting...

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I hate to jinx it but we’re starting to play good defense.

 

[H.C.]

I wish Portland played more together like this more often.

Finally Stotts is running Lillard off screens instead of weave.

[Labinot41]

How long until the Lakers run?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Wow go defense!

 

[James lamphear]

Right now we got some confidence out there and we playing like it.

 

[Labinot41]
