Game Thread Game #56 - BLAZERS VS LAKERS - FEBRUARY 9, 2022 - WEDNESDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS (2 Viewers)

Lmaaaaao.

We get LeBron. They get the team that beat them.

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

LOL Just watched a Blazers commercial. All three "Blazers" in the ad were traded this week.

That was a “Former Blazer” commercial.

Upcoming versions will include Meyers Leonard, Collins and Bazemore.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Beating the Lakers is always nice. Now, please lose every game for the rest of the season. It's not even about tanking - it's about forcing a top-to-bottom housecleaning.

 

[TBpup]

Someone posted that the Blazers lineup in total made up $29,000,000 in salary. That is less than both LeBron and AD individually.

 

[handiman]

They can’t even blame this one on Westbrook. Perhaps he isn’t the only problem in Laker-land.

They traded their entire supporting cast for him, so even when RW doesn't play, they've still got next to no help for LeBron and AD. So, with Russ being basically a zero at this point in his career, he's the problem whether or not he plays.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I don't see anyone giving credit to Nurk?

He arguably outplayed Davis. But still you'll have "fans" hating on him and wanting to trade him for Chris fucking Boucher.

What a joke.

Nurk was 100% better than Davis tonight and I will give him full credit for that.

I also try to not use one game to jump to any meaningful conclusion.

Oh yeah good one boss it’s only been one good game you’re so smart.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Definitely garbage.

Its reverse jinx it always works

Nurk has had a lot of good games over his career. I did not say tonight was Nurk's only good game. I'm saying it tonights game represent 0.2% of the games he's played so pointing out how great he was tonight as proof he's an all-star would be just a valid as pointing out his awful night last night that he shouldn't be starting in the NBA. I gave him credit tonight. I've given him credit a lot of nights.

Do you feel tonights game should hold a significant amount of weight in terms of evaluating how good his career as been and his future output will be? If so, why?

I'm slightly surprised you could read my post as saying Nurk had his first good game ever and twist it into an insult. I guess some of us left this Laker game more upset than others.

 

[wizenheimer]

it's payback time...after months of all the idiot Laker fans proposing dumbass dipshit Dame-to-LA trades because the Blazers suck, I think it's time for Blazer fans to flood Laker forums with Lebron and AD trades to Portland....you know, because the Lakers suck

 

[BBert]

Did I just see Joe Cronin work out a future free agent deal with Johnson after the Nurk foul?

Looked like he was asking Cronin to get him out of LA haha

 

[Tince]

Looked like he was asking Cronin to get him out of LA haha

Can't blame him for that!

 

[BBert]

I legit thought LeBron was tanking the game until the final six minutes. And even then....

didnt read don’t care. Don’t care about anyone’s take on Nurk actually. Sick of reading the slander.

 

[BBert]

James Worthy said the Lakers lost to players from YMCA lol

What does that make the Lakers?

 

[Tince]

I certainly did not slander him. I apologize that what you didn't read and don't care about, upset you, that was not at all what I was going for.

Beat LA!

 

[BBert]

BWAHAHAHAHAAH



coming from Nate, this is hilarious

Fuck that coattail rider. He'd completely ruin the chemistry we're building. I'm looking forward to watching LeBron disintegrate into the dust bin of history. In LA. They deserve each other.

If only he outplayed Davis in playoffs. Nurk is 1-8 against him in playoff games.

[BBert]

Joe Cronin is like, what more do I have to do to this roster to lose?

Blevins trade confirmed.

Nurk doesn't look slow if you pass it to him while he's cutting. Our dumbed-down offense has made him look slow.

 

[BBert]

Enjoy.

This guy is a great motivational speaker.

For the Blazers.

 

[BBert]

I was cracking up when a lineup of Smith-Elleby-Blevins-Brown-Watford won the first 5 minutes of the 4th Q and built a 7 point lead. Laker mystique my ass

They're too young to know better haha.

To our young guys, the Lakers over the hill squad was the YMCA team tonight.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

If only he outplayed Davis in playoffs. Nurk is 1-8 against him in playoff games.

With that logic we should trade Damian too.

 

[Duckhook]

The Laker fan tears on Lakersground are extra sweet tonight. Go check it out and watch a proper fan base meltdown! It’s classic

 

[BBert]

LOLOL

 

[BBert]

For my money, the MVP of tonight's game was Coach Billups.

 

[DDolla]

James Worthy on national tv really called our team YMCA pick up guys

 

[BBert]

Yeah stop lighting a fire under our team asshole.
