Game Thread GAME# 49: BLAZERS @ LAKERS - JANUARY 31, 2020 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM, ESPN & NBCSNW

[Neil O. Shyster]

Do I get any props for guaranteeing this win??

 

[James lamphear]

Wins Houston 2x
Win Indiana
Win Lakers
4-5 not bad.
We battle more even thou Lakers score as many points that they did you actually seeing the defense getting better. Offensely Dame red hot but there other players finally pitching in too.

 

[H.C.]

I'm changing someone's moniker to Old Milk, because these posts got stanky!

I mean I know why you're quoting those posts. Don't have to be a mind reader.
But it's just the attention he wants.

 

[kjironman1]

Wow. What a game.

 

[DDolla]

Hassan was crazy unbelievable

 

[blazerfan11]

Whiteside definitely the most under-appreciated Blazer in a long time.

 

[BlazerBeav]

I am so unbelievably pumped! Pray they have enough left in the tank for another win tomorrow!

 

[blazerfan11]

Hassan was crazy unbelievable

It helps when he has defenders who don't foul their man going to the hoop.

 

[kjironman1]

But @kjironman1 told me Swanigan had to play PF against Dallas even though we got torched because Little and Gabriel aren't capable defenders.

Your boy Gabriel played well. That is when he wasn't fouling.
Now Little is still improving nicely also.

 

[Neil O. Shyster]

Blazers will win... I guarantee it

 

[kjironman1]

Yes you do!

See Terry. You don't have to play Mario over Little just because he is taller!

 

[James lamphear]

Bench 28 points 25 assist.

 

[tlongII]

Hassan was great, but Dame. Wow.

 

[Strenuus]

Holy shit.

Dare i say dame went mamba mentality on they ass?

 

[blazerfan11]

when it’s for Hezonja you play him anyway.

Put on a disguise and try to sneak him back in ,.

 

[tlongII]

Dame is doing things I haven’t seen before.

 

[PCmor7]

On the downside, Dame had a chance to run down a loose ball in the fourth quarter but he let it go out of bounds.

Had he got it, he would have had his second straight triple-double.

Just amazing.

 

[kjironman1]

Holy shit.

Dare i say dame went mamba mentality on they ass?

He did! And you can!

 

[Neil O. Shyster]

+675 payout... bet of the year... take it to the bank

I hope you guys followed me on this... easy money!

Late night back and playing a rested Utah team that is already in Portland.

If the Blazers somehow manage to pull a win out of that, that will be HUGELY impressive.

 

[blazerfan11]

Lillards threes are like chip shots that a pro keeps sinking into the cup. He's got the backspin and trajectory.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Whiteside with the first 30/10/5 block game in the NBA this season.

13-14.....is that a % franchise high for someone scoring 30 points or more?

Mychal Thompson did same...13-14, 30pts in Nov 1981

 

[jonnyboy]

A ref will pull out a bat and kneecap Dame long before they ever let us win this game. I’m serious, this is a game for the darlings if there ever was one. And nationally televised to boot. The best we can hope for is a good Kobe tribute and Dame dropping 60 in a loss.



I’d love to eat me some crow on this one, but I just don’t think it’s gonna happen.

Fuck yea! Lovin’ me some crow!

 

[maxiep]

I can't believe you all aren't as pissed as I am about the sub-par effort we saw tonight. Dame put up 48, but it was under his average over the last five games (48.5 ppg). I'm calling him out. Get your act together, Dame!

 

[DDolla]

That Ariza trade started it all. Great pickup Neil

 

[PCmor7]

Your boy Gabriel played well. That is when he wasn't fouling.
Now Little is still improving nicely also.

The track on which his game seems to be progressing, Little reminds me a bit of Ron Artest. Without being crazy.

 

[Darkwebs]

Dame is doing things I haven’t seen before.

Mario is also doing things I haven't seen before. Some stupid, stupid things.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Can you really do that; that would be perfect!

Nice find. I remember Corky Calhoun having a perfect game for around 25 points back in the day. (IIRC).
