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

[maxiep]

We have all the intensity of a veteran being told they have to fill in at a Summer League game.

 

[BonesJones]

Wenyen just went straight up and got a bad call against him. Dude had a couple really good defensive possessions and didn't make a single mistake. But you have people here acting like the dude is completely incapable and won't even give him a chance...

 

[hoopsjock]

Challenge that shit

 

[Scalma]

Wenyens length is gonna make an impact if Stotts let’s him play.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Gabriel went straight up

 

[BonesJones]

It was understandable the day of, but they just had a big ceremony

I can't believe you're complaining about that, to be honest.

 

[B-Roy]

Gabriel is everywhere. Ariza is hustling on every play.

Whiteside, Dame and CJ are just jogging around like this game is lost already.

 

[rotary111]

Wenyon is not afraid of the moment.

 

[calvin natt]

This feels like an all star game.

 

[HailBlazers]

Gabriels a young badass going up against AD like that.

 

[Chris Craig]

This just in: In rememberance of Kobe Bryant the refs aren't going to call any fouls on the Lakers in tonights game

 

[Five Second Violation]

Dude wtf? Get this racist shit off the forum.

Not sure how that is racist?

 

[H.C.]

ya i din't think it was a racial comment either

Precisely. I'm already annoyed by the lack of energy between these three. Also, I understand why we're bottom 3 in assists per game (if we weren't dead last already).

 

[hoopsjock]

Our transition defense sucks.

 

[Chris Craig]

[DUB]

Wenyen just owned James!

 

[illmatic99]

WOW Wenyen

 

[TBpup]

If the Blazers can stop the Lakers from cherry picking, they would be in control of this game.

Wenyen showing signs....

 

[B-Roy]

Fuck Melo, start Wenyen.

 

[H.C.]

Great defense by Gabriel.

 

[julius]

Interesting seeing a player who has athletic skills and brains, instead of playing like he's 59 like Bazemore and Tolliver did.

 

[B-Roy]

Whiteside has no idea what is going on this game.

 

[Scalma]

Wenyen had more defensive stands/plays in five minutes than some of our roster the whole year lolol

 

[Chris Craig]

Here it goes

 

[julius]

Who told Kuzma that he should dress up like Susan Powter?

 

[BonesJones]

I think Wenyen has made more positive defensive plays in his first 6 minutes as a Blazer than Mario has all season.

This guy can play. I like the confidence he showed taking that 3 and making that drive (which would've been a good up and under finish but Anthony Davis is a freak of nature).

 

[B-Roy]

Our transition defense sucks.

Whiteside, Dame and CJ jog back at 2MPH.

 

[James lamphear]

Defensely Gabriel was real active and even though he his shot he wasn't scare on challenge in drive to the bucket.
