Game Thread GAME# 81: BLAZERS @ LAKERS - APRIL 9, 2019 - TUESDAY, 7:30 PM, NBCSNW

[JDC]

"33" looks like the call for the early double drag.

Heard it during the 2 for 1.

 

[BonesJones]

ugh make some shots. put this to bed and rest up for Utah

OKC is coming back!

 

[Jade Falcon]

I really wish we would finish out the half strong. Or even a quarter.

 

[H.C.]

Im gonna miss Curry.

With so many teams having money next off season. I'm hoping he bets on himself and takes his PO.
But I'd understand if he didn't get on himself and took a Payday this offseasoff

 

[illmatic99]

OKC making a comeback what is this

 

[wizenheimer]

I think Blazers have to win tommorow too to get 4th for sure

not if they win tonight. That would get them to 52 wins and the best Utah can do is 51. The Jazz really blew it by losing to the Lakers

 

[illmatic99]

OKC lead

 

[blazerkor]

It does. It keeps HCA alive

with a win in this game we will be two full games ahead of Utah. HCA locked in.

 

[illmatic99]

Utah is not yet a lock.

 

[dead247]

Harden flopped

 

[H.C.]

I think Blazers have to win tommorow too to get 4th for sure

Best Utah can finish is 51 - 31
With a win tonight worst portland can finish is 52 - 30

Portland needs a win tonight or against
the king's. With Utah losing to lolakers it doesn't matter what Utah does

 

[TBpup]

For the first time in my life, I am rooting for Russell not to F^<( it up.

 

[TBpup]

Harden flopped

Anyone taking bets on if he will get a warning? #NBAjoke

 

[BonesJones]

OKC getting screwed by these refs.

 

[Labinot41]

That OKC vs Houston game is wild

 

[B-Roy]

"They a random team and they play random basketball"

Ain't that the truth

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Blazers transition defense in this game is like an afternoon at the Y...

 

[Nurkalicious]

It's great that he has improved in the Playoffs....but if out post-season success is even somewhat reliant on Chief, we've seen how that works out.

Way to blame our 4th best overall player / best defender for what was actually a problem with our starting-3-position and our horrendous bench. Yeah it was Chief why we lost, not say, Meyers Leonard.

 

[LuckyShot]

I have no idea how Kanter finishes in some of these situations he finds himself in.

 

[BigGameDamian]

What the FUCK are we doin?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

@BonesJones
How would you feel about trying Enes, Zach, Aminu, Dame and CJ.

I'm trying to think of a good way for them to solve some of their defensive problems because I think there isn't much of a chance that they change their schemes so a lot of size and length maybe...?

 

[LuckyShot]

What the FUCK are we doin?

Same thing we always do when we feel the opponent is beneath us...

 

[BonesJones]

Westbrook is trash as fuck.

 

[LuckyShot]

Westbrook is trash as fuck.

LOL what did he do? Chucking up shitty shots in crunch time?

 

[BonesJones]

Harden is such a floppy bitch holy shit. But he wont get a warning for that... smfh.

 

[BonesJones]

LOL what did he do? Chucking up shitty shots in crunch time?

And bad jump passes to no one.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

And bad jump passes to no one.

That's part of why I wouldn't mind seeing OKC in the playoffs. I think while Westbrook is good enough to beat you a couple games, he can also win you a game or two.

 

[julius]

barely beating a team missing a chunk of it's starters...where have I heard this story before?

 

[blue9]

That's part of why I wouldn't mind seeing OKC in the playoffs. I think while Westbrook is good enough to beat you a couple games, he can also win you a game or two.

That's kinda sad that our wins would be due to Westbrook's doings rather than Terry's...

 

[James lamphear]

I was surprised that he put in Skal.
