Opening night! 10/31/2012 Lakers @ Blazers - Game Thread! (1 Viewer)

[Fez Hammersticks]

Dwight has that Pau Gasol lift.

Kinda surprising.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I don't know, I think he's scouting and preparing for Mike Brown's inevitable firing.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Leonard is terrible tonight. butter hands, fell down.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I think Lillard don't want to pass to him now.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Ebanks with that Oden foul rate.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Devin Efoul!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Ebanks with some interesting defensive choices. Making me feel better about Leonard.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I think Lillard don't want to pass to him now.

Like Peyton Manning after the rookie didn't recognize the Hot Route.

 

[julius]

Wow, the Lakers are already in the penalty?!

I hope the Blazers take advantage of that. That's awful quick to be in the penalty.

 

[PapaG]

Like Peyton Manning after the rookie didn't recognize the Hot Route.

Peyton Manning as a rookie wasn't very good, either.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Ebanks with some interesting defensive choices. Making me feel better about Leonard.

I think I can say for all of us that if we're stuck hoping that Leonard can compare favorably to Devin Ebanks, we're not having a good year.

 

[PapaG]

Bring in Freeland to bang on Howard a bit.

Oh, and Hickson is terrible tonight.

 

[julius]

Ok, here's your chance to prove you're a bad FT shooter dwight!~

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Hickson ISO?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I think I can say for all of us that if we're stuck hoping that Leonard can compare favorably to Devin Ebanks, we're not having a good year.

It's one game, one joke.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

dammit CSNNW graphic, get out of the way of Abby's cleavage!

 

[BrianFromWA]

It's one game, one joke.

likewise.

 

[craigehlo]

Maybe it's time to front Dwight. He can get a foul every damn time in the post.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Hickson ISO?

you're not supposed to heat check if you haven't heated up yet.

 

[MickZagger]

Did Abby Chin invest in some customs?

 

[KingSpeed]

Kobe has yet to have an assist this season. And with so many offensive stars to pass to...

 

[BlazerCaravan]

likewise.

Cheers!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Kobe has yet to have an assist this season. And with so many offensive stars to pass to...

Didn't he just get one to Howard? EDIT: nevermind. He was fouled.

Maybe that's the problem: everyone Kobe passes to is fouled.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Kobe credited with one assist so far.

[Nikolokolus]

Kind of a weird mismatch of players on our second unit. The pieces just don't seem to make a whole lotta sense.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Like the closeup of Nolan running headfirst into a pick.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Hickson is a golden god.

 

[BrianFromWA]

anyone know why ESPN's box score is not available?

 

[julius]

Obviously this game is far from over, and the Lakers could still easily win, but I think this Lakers team is built for a mid to late season run. They'll get their shit together sooner rather than later.

especially if Howard keeps shooting 70+% from the FT!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Hickson is a golden god.

Hickson is a moronic foul machine.
