Game Thread GAME# 53: LAKERS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 11, 2015 - WEDNESDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), KGW

CJ is suddenly the scorer off the bench we've been wanting to trade for. Maybe we just stay with what we have? Is CJ going to be a gamer come playoff time or do we need someone with experience?

If we can still deal TRob+claver+barton+1st for Wilson Chandler we have to do it.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Nice shot Batum

I agree. But we can't cut into CJ's minutes much, Chandler would be Batum's backup especially if Batum. He'd be especially needed if Batum had to miss games.

 

[riverman]

Nico gets a triple double tonight..book it

 

[Sinobas]

Offensive rebounds...come on man.

 

[Strenuus]

Matthews is doing fine, but he let a rebound hit the floor in front of him and then just fouled a jump shooter from behind. Ugh.

 

[VenomXL]

What a dumb foul.

 

[Strenuus]

That's a pretty weak All Star team.

Out of the West participants, what would be the strongest? That's a damn good lineup. I'd roll with it.

I think CJ deserves more minutes, cut wes' minutes and make sure CJ is gonna get at least 18-20 a game. If we get Chandler give him 20-22 off the bench. It could work.

Portland is allowing the Lakers to hang on far too much tonight.

Westbrook Lillard Durant Aldridge Davis would kick ass.

That's how we win.. Keep it at 9... We can avoid a double digit lead being evaporated that's way lol

 

[riverman]

Good hustle by Wes and TRob

 

[KingSpeed]

Wes with the nice hustle. TRob lookin good in his showcase.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

TRob in Cleveland would be pretty lethal.

 

[KingSpeed]

The Warriors nearly lost to the Wolves tonight. You can't expect to win every game 100-0.

 

[Strenuus]

lol Rice talking mad trash.

 

[Strenuus]

Westbrook Lillard Durant Aldridge Davis would kick ass.

That's not bad. Take out Westbrook and put in Curry, though.

 

[julius]

It is odd, neither good nor bad, seeing Damian avoid three pointers now.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Two rimmed out buzzer beaters tonight lol

 

[Strenuus]

haha. That was in just like Youngs' lol.

 

[KingSpeed]

I'd like Blake to score a little more. Just a little. 6-8 ppg would be nice.

 

[VenomXL]

If LA was hitting this lead would be huge. Let's see if he can get his rhythm in the second half.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I don't think he is avoiding them as much as he hasn't had many open looks and isn't gonna force it. It's definitely helping his efficiency.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

It's Steve Blake man, when he gives us 6-8 it's on two big threes or some crazy layup. He isn't a scorer and we shouldn't expect anything but floor spacing and good passes from him. All his scoring is gravy.

Lead should be a lot more than this at the half with the team they're putting out there. Need to get up by 20 entering the 4th so Aldridge/Lillard can head to NYC early and Batum to take his wrist on a vacation to Hawaii for some much need R&R.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I wish I could personally punch all the Laker 'bros' at the game...

At the risk of Kingspeeding this, They are gonna be there until the buzzer sounds. And then they have to shower, do interviews, etc. So...

Warriors just announced that Steve Kerr has picked Klay Thompson to start in place of the injured Kobe Bryant in the All-Star Game

I had a class with a guy wearing a Kobe jersey... and he was talking to someone else... he wasn't from California, he didn't have anyone in his family as Laker fans... he just 'liked Kobe'.
