Opening night! 10/31/2012 Lakers @ Blazers - Game Thread!

[BlazerCaravan]

If you're taking requests, how about the Blazers win?

I'll ask Nolan to make it so.

 

[Nikolokolus]

c'mon guys. Stop hating on Nolan, I have a sneaky suspicion he's going to play a role in helping us get a better draft pick

You're right, we're being pretty tacky about it.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Like the Taurean Green 4 games thing?

BTW, LAL is shooting 53/43/78 right now. Not many nights when we'll still be up while the opponent's doing that.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Christ is it still the first half?!

 

[julius]

Larry Miller is wearing purple.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Batum with the recovery!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Lillard too hot for the big guys.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Lillard's given LMA 2 passes in the last 2 minutes that LMA's seemed very surprised by.

 

[julius]

how many FT's did Portland shoot once the Lakers went in the penalty?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Leonard with the dunk, no flexing. Good job kid.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

2 so far.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

N'awesome.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

BATOOOOM!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Hotness to end the half!

 

[ehizzy3]

lillard makes me smile, pause

 

[BlazerCaravan]

lillard makes me smile, pause

Yes yes yes.

 

[craigehlo]

BATUUUM!!!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

BATUM!

 

[julius]

that was a good way to end the 1st half.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

19 points for Batum in the first half. Not too bad for the million dollar man, eh?

 

[julius]

HCP, was that video that was Halloween inspired your doing?

 

[craigehlo]

Batum's deal looks great after this first half. Also seeing how much cash DeRozen and Taj Gibson got make it look like a damn steal.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I like it when Nic plays with a consistent level of assertiveness throughout his court time. I don't care if he scores another point in the second half, I just want to see him keep up this kind of activity level (and the points will come anyway).

 

[mgb]

Excellent half!

 

[BrianFromWA]

If Nash can't go in the 2nd half, Blanky's backups are Darius MOrris and Chris Duhon. I think Nolan might even be able to not suck against them

 

[chris_in_pdx]

I'm learning that Mike Brown is not a good coach.

 

[RoyToy]

Lillard is already one of the better passing PG's in the NBA.

This kid is going to be a star

 

[BrianFromWA]

you're supposed to add the "Jamaal Magloire Memorial Former Coach of the Year" honorific before his name.

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

Lillard needs to control the turnovers - otherwise, I love him as a PG. He is literally everything I asked for when we were getting our shit waxed in the playoffs consistently.
