Game Thread GAME# 64: BLAZERS @ LAKERS - MARCH 5, 2018 - MONDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), NBATV & NBCSNW

Collins very quiet on defense tonight. The Lakers are having their way against him as well. The bigs need to play better, plain and simple.

 

[KingSpeed]

That was Aminu's worst half of the year. 1/5 FGs, 4 turnovers (in a half) and weak defense. Get going in the second half, chief!

 

[KingSpeed]

Nobody said that. He asked when the last time they did because they've gotten off to 3 for 10 starts the past few games.

Just depends on what you consider a start, first two minutes or first quarter or first half

Great post from Lakersground:

Geez these Lillard shots are just dumb. Yet he makes them. (bleep).

Smog affects their brain cells, pure and simple.

He was pretty bad against OKC too. You say hes consistent, but he's had a few 3 for 20 shooting stretches this year. He's far from consistent. You don't know what you're gonna get from him night in and night out. The most consistent thing from him is wild, stupid, hopeless drives.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Meyers is so fucking useless. It's like having 5 against 4 when he's playing.

Meyers didn't make any mistakes during his run right there.

We'll see how the second half goes.

Kinda hard to fuck up when you don't do anything.

Hes been defending on thd perimeter because hes guarding Wear (a stretch 4). The guards are allowing too much dribble penetration, especially CJ and Shabazz.

 

[BonesJones]

We'll see how the second half goes.

My prediction: 1-4 shooting, 2 TOs.

 

[KingSpeed]

Laker fans loving IT; not only his playmaking but his defense; they want ball out of this game

 

[KingSpeed]

I, of course, hope you are wrong. We'll see. That one shot could be huge too.

 

[BonesJones]

The start isn't an entire half. If he meant first half, he probably would've said "first half".

Would rather have him do nothing than try to do too much like a handful of our other players tonight

I'm surprised your anti-virus isn't having any laker site come up as a virus.

He's a mouthy douchebag, so he should fit right in with LA.

 

[DDolla]

I close my eyes every time Aminu dribbbles the ball

 

[BonesJones]

I hope I am too, I just have little confidence in him right now.

I'd rather play a small lineup with Biggie than with Meyers. At least Biggie tries.

 

[KingSpeed]

okay

IT is one of my most hated players. I HATE IT.

 

[tykendo]

Nurk will be key. The Blazers will set him up, and he needs to finish, especially against the smaller player on defensive switches. No excuses. Chief needs to pull his head out. Like to see Collins block some shots. Looks tentative on defense tonight. Go Blazers!!

 

[Jade Falcon]

IT is one of my most hated players. I HATE IT.

Mine is Curry. God I hate that guy. Genuinely hate him.

 

[BonesJones]

okay

Can't blame me. That half was awful and he should've learned when to pick his spots by now.

 

[KingSpeed]

He's failing the eye test but Nurk's numbers are respectable. 6 points 6 rebounds & only 1 turnover

 

[KingSpeed]

ok

 

[KingSpeed]

Ball is a game low -10

 

[KingSpeed]

cmon nurk

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Nurkic has been the worst player in this game

 

[KingSpeed]

wow Aminu yanked
