GAME THREAD: Lakers @ Blazers 4.8.11 - 7 PM - KGW

[EGame]

Ans Rudy still sucks.

 

[KingSpeed]

As long as we avoid the Warriors and Hawks, I like our chances in the playoffs.

 

[Rhal]

M: Shit were only up by 22 quick call a time out!

 

[yenniedn]

Win or lose this game, I'm a fucking idiot. I didn't think we stood a chance in this game, and we're up 22. The L*kers will certainly make a run, and they may even win this game, but it doesn't matter. I can't believe once again I didn't believe in this team. I suck.

Don't be so hard on yourself Maxie - I'd say more than a handful of us didn't give us much of a chance tonight. Always nice to be proven wrong (thus far) in this situations.

Holy shit, that's sig worthy.

 

[TripTango]

Have the Blazers rediscovered the fast-break tonight?

 

[illmatic99]

Dear MB,

We have a 22 point lead and they have shot 2/15 in the quarter, and look confused as hell.

Stop being paranoid.

Sincerely,
Blazerfans.

 

[KingSpeed]

Even if Portland keeps the lead and wins the game, lets not kid ourselves. The playoffs are a different beast.

That would be the same thing if we lost. I've been telling people that it doesn't matter if we beat the Spurs and Mavs in the regular season. Means NOTHING in playoffs. People in here act like playing Dallas is a bye. I hope the team doesn't feel that way.

 

[EGame]

Here comes the bench to fuck us.

 

[yenniedn]

Rut roh . . . here comes the run?

 

[Rhal]

You knew that with patty/rudy in a run for the lakers was coming

 

[DUB]

Lakers trying to avoid us in the 1st round?

 

[EGame]

Our bench is full of win.

 

[yenniedn]

geebus - Roy couldn't even lose Blakie there. Not good.

 

[KingSpeed]

8-0 Lakers run

 

[julius]

Here comes the bench to fuck us.

To me, it's a sign of great respect (and maybe a bit of intimidation) that the Blazers can be up by 18, and we all know that's about 20 points too few to be safe.

 

[EGame]

Bench = shit.

 

[Rhal]

Rudy is sucking the last 5 or so games from the three.

 

[KingSpeed]

10-0 run

 

[Rhal]

and a 10-0 run because we can't hit shit seeing as all our shots are from Patty/Rudy,

 

[julius]

Why the fuck do they keep shooting 3s!?!?

Way to give the Lakers momentum.

 

[KingSpeed]

Andre please

 

[yenniedn]

Lovely.

Absolutely lovely end to the 3rd.

 

[EGame]

This bench fucking sucks. If we lose it is because all they do is shoot jumpers. Patty you suck, Rudy you suck, Roy you suck.

 

[Rhal]

My god I HATE our fucken Bench. 12-0 run in under 2:30 minutes. What the hell!

 

[LJ Ginger]

WOW! Lakers have no business being in this game...our bench is soo bad right now!

 

[DUB]

It's all contested kickout jumpshots from Roy penetration; Roy needs to actually take it to the rim a few times to make the defence collapse.

 

[yenniedn]

The Rapist will come in and knock down a couple quick 3's and we'll be reliving the last two games all over again...

 

[Rhal]

I would rather see Babbit in there shooting then Patty/Rudy.

 

[DUB]

Our second unit +LMA used to be good...

... before Roy came back.
