Fuck Lebron and Fuck the L*kers.

That is all.

Sitting up in the nosebleeds right now….now I know I’m way up here, but they don’t look to bad tonight.

 

[THE HCP]

Especially for a lowly #7 seed FAMS.

Kingspeed says that Memphis will come back and crush the L*kers!
I want to believe!

You lost me at ,”JinxSpeed says”.

LeBron tonight:
25/9/5

He is the only player with over 100+ playoff games with 25/5/5

LeBron has 145 games.

That was a StatsMuse tweet, but remember there are a few guys that hate tweets that have this kind of fantastic info because it has a cartoon face attached. Hope they are cool with me just copy and pasting the stats.

This guy sure looks old out there. Hate away FAMS!

Bro I’m down here in LA….there is NOTHING like a playoff environment and vibe. Guess you have to experience it to understand,

I’ve experienced plenty of playoff games lol

 

[blazerkor]

But as a Blazer fan….. the Lakers suck right?

Nah, I don't hate any of the other teams in the league. The Warriors organization really pissed me off this season with those accusations, Steph's antics have annoyed me for a while, Dray's whole shtick is lame but I still watch those guys play and recognize their greatness. I don't actually understand why Blazers fans think we have a rivalry with the Lakers. That team has the most NBA championships (tied with Boston) and we have one. The Warriors have squashed our dreams over the past decade more times than the Lakers.

I like great basketball and the Lakers look like they're starting to put it together. They could win it all again.

Not the game, the vibe , the atmosphere. It’s different.

You at a hockey game? THAT’S different. Great atmosphere

Crazy that the Clippers will be done with their Game 4, before the lakers even play their Game 3.

Crazy that the Clippers may lose in the first round after being picked by most to win the west. All that depth might not have helped.

Good to see Chauncey is still enrolled in Tye Lue Coaching School. I'd say he was a solid B- student (with grade inflation).

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Gobert ruined the Wolves for years.

You can't "ruin" the Wolves! That's like Making Portland White.

Imagine the Lakers without LeBron and Davis. Or the Celtics without Tatum and Brown.

Would any NBA team win a playoff series with their top two players injured?

I agree it all comes down to injuries. For every team, as well as ours. A huge factor for everyone every year.

 

[HailBlazers]

The Sixers have their brooms out even with Embiid sitting but the Nets aren't going down without a fight. For the record and this isn't just because he's having a bad game... I don't think Bridges is the best fit for us as our big acquisition unless we're landing a monster glass eating rebounding beast as another high impact starter. We do need to pick up another starting forward but with the way Jerami rebounds or rather the way he doesn't, I would like the second forward to be a better rebounder than Bridges.

Badji!

I went to every home playoff game between 1999-2019 with the exception of 2 or 3 and quite a few away games. I’m well aware of the vibe and atmosphere.

I can also tell you getting boat raced by the warriors changed my perspective.

Winning is fun, getting boat raced by the warriors (and knowing it’s about to happen) with a sweep by the pelicans in between wasn’t exactly super fun for me.

The last time we got to the WCF was pretty cool though, won’t lie.

But that’s the exception, not the rule, with this team (at least).

The playoffs are more fun when you actually have more than a punchers chance to advance.

Amazing Crowd at the Garden. I missed the Playoffs. We used to be the loudest fans in the league.

 

[PCmor7]

I love Doris Burke personally.

I don't know her personally, so I can't speak to that. She might be a lovely person.

On the headset, though, she's objectively very bad.

 

[SIeepwalker]

shame we didn't want to try to win this year. west is wide open

We did try to win for mos of the season. We just were not very good at it

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Donovan Mitchell going out with a whimper.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Brunson/Hart absolutely picking the Cavs apart.

 

[DDolla]

Josh Hart pure Heart

 

[inconceivable]

Josh Hart making winning plays for the Knicks. Wow!

 

[AldoTrapani]

Blazers dump guys like Josh Hart tho

 

[illmatic99]

Lakers were below us in the standings at the deadline. GS was like a game above us at the time.

 

[illmatic99]

Josh Hart making winning plays for the Knicks. Wow!

I hope to hell whoever we end up with with the 23rd pick will make the kinda impact that Josh is in at least one game in their career.

 

[DDolla]

Better be a great draft pick for that Hart trade

 

[illmatic99]

Cavs need to use Mobley more. Guards are getting neutralized.

To each their own. I love her commentary.

 

[wizenheimer]

I guess it won't matter how many times it's pointed out that Hart essentially said he wasn't going to re-sign in Portland, people will still bitch about him being traded. I wonder if some of those people are the same ones who bitched about Aldridge NOT being traded for something
