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

[KingSpeed]

Aminu game high +19

They definitely look better this season than previous years. Helps that the West is shaky this year.

I don't think the West is shaky at all, just there is more parity with the young teams beginning to show their development.

 

[Darkwebs]

I don't expect to live past 40 with the onslaught my heart takes as a Portland fan.

Did you know that for some odd reason, the city of Portland leads the nation in cardiac arrests after Blazer games? Well, guess what? I just made that stat up.

 

[LuckyShot]

FUCK YOU AMINU

His shooting has been awful as of late, but he was there for some clutch defense and rebounding late. I think many of you don't watch anything but the ball. Aminu does a ton of dirty work for us.

 

[HailBlazers]

FUCK YOU AMINU

He had two big stops at the end. Fuck your post.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Aminu game high +19

Woulda been +42 if he made a few shots and didn't make a few turnovers.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

And to think, I was Kingspeeding this whole damn game thread tonight.

Reach-arounds from Stren for everyone tonight!

 

[Scalma]

Dame deserves all the attention but Nurk was HUGE. As soon as he came back into the game the momentum changed.

And he made his free throws (I’m looking at you CJ)

 

[tykendo]

Earlier this season there was some chatter that Dame isn't actually that clutch, that it was just perception based on previous seasons... well, I'm pretty sure that just happened and Dame's been the best 4th quarter scorer in the league over the last month.

Yes I remember all the derp chatter. They were full of themselves. They can suck it!

 

[HailBlazers]

Please resign Bazz, whatever it takes.

 

[illmatic99]

Reminded me of the OKC game a few years back when Dame hit 4 straight 3s to end it.

 

[LayneStaley]

Guess i was wrong, I said Dame would have 40 in a win.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

First game all year I've actually been able to watch and post at the same time.

I very never had so much fun at a Louisiana rest area.

(Cue SPD)

 

[chzbrgr]

Fuckin blazers do it again! Look like the worse team and still win! Hell yeah! Are we the Paul pierce of teams? I fucking hope so!

 

[SportsAndWhine]

When in doubt, have the best player.

 

[Darkwebs]

Reminded me of the OKC game a few years back when Dame hit 4 straight 3s to end it.

I think that was the game when we were down 10 with 2 minutes to go. I was so sure the game was lost, but then Dame happened. That game made me realize, nothing is impossible.

What was his name?

 

[illmatic99]

Gotta seriously watch the minutes tmrw.

Oh yeah let’s not forget threads by some posters on here in the offseason claiming dame wasn’t clutch. He’s been clutch his whole career and this season more than ever. Same face no matter what, dude just goes out there and knows we need to win, carries the team on his back.

 

[The Professional Fan]

That was awesome

you drummers and your multi tasking abilities amaze me....

 

[chzbrgr]

God damn Damian is a top 5 player in the nba. Anyone who says otherwise can fight me.

 

[Strenuus]

Did anyone else give the double bird to all the Laker fans in the stands?

 

[DameLill379]

This team is something else.

 

[riverman]

Never doubted! We're pickin' up momentum....18 regular season games left....Go Good Guys!!!!!!!

 

[DDolla]

Even if Dame is 0-20 and we are down by double digit in the 4th, we still have a chance to win.

 

[TBpup]

I don't expect to live past 40 with the onslaught my heart takes as a Portland fan.

@DollaBel ...call me about life insurance 1 day before you die. If you don't know when you are going to die, call me sooner.

 

[Cippy91]

Lakers guy right here trying to be smart, backfired on him.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Damian Lillard is fucking god damn stud

 

[Chris Craig]

I see the Lakers were wearing Wish on their jerseys as in they wish they beat the Blazers
