Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 1: BLAZERS @ LAKERS - AUGUST 18, 2020, TUESDAY, 6:00, TNT & NBCSNW

[AldoTrapani]

1-15 from the field that quarter guys

 

[twobullz]

Hopefully CJ and Trent hit some shots in the second.

 

[bobf]

This game is pissing me off. The refs are giving AD fouls no matter what. Gabriel should have like 1 foul.

 

[wizenheimer]

Dame & Nurkic doing their best...Gabriel trying hard...everybody else, wake the fuck up!

 

[Labinot41]

What makes me confident is, i think the 3rd quarter was the 2nd quarter this time

 

[KSF-ERIC]

This is crazy lakers literally playing the worst half of their season and only down 1

Davis has 21 points and LeBron has a near triple double. Hardly the worst half of their season.

 

[beast blazer]

We had our 3rd quarter in the 2nd. So hopefully we don't have a 3rd quarter in the 3rd quarter

 

[Tince]

Well take a good one then

That's a shot he probably makes 1/3 of the time. That's 1 point per shot, which makes it mathmatically the right play.

 

[illmatic99]

Refs realize this is the playoffs right? Holy hell, let the ticky tack shit go. That quarter was awful to watch

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Melo/McCollum combined for 4/15. Not good!

 

[beast blazer]

What makes me confident is, i think the 3rd quarter was the 2nd quarter this time

Damn it

 

[James lamphear]

Maybe that was our bad quarter.

 

[Titan]

dang we missed at one point 9 shots in a row in the 2nd. Not good, good news the 3rd is just around the corner, can't wait for those explosive 3rd quarters like we always do...

 

[oldmangrouch]

Confession: I was going to skip this game, but I couldn't stay away. I start watchin, and we go from 11 up this. I guess I'm a jinx!

I was right about the refs. They might not be the only problem, but they are sure adding to it!

 

[beast blazer]

Maybe they should try twin towers. Nurk and hassan.

 

[Labinot41]

Maybe that was our bad quarter.

2nd quarter is the new 3rd, am I right? Guys?

 

[illmatic99]

is CHRIS WEBBER the worst ever? I believe he just said Carmelo was the 2nd pick after Lebron. LOL Everyone except him I guess remembers Darko Milicic.

this announcing crew has been awful

Stop watching the game then! Teamwork, baby, teamwork!

 

[Labinot41]

CJ + Melo + Trent Jr = 4/19

We’re up one at half. Given those shooting stats, you got to be happy being up against the 1 seed.

 

[oldmangrouch]

And now comes our bad quarter. We needed to be up BIG at the half to have a chance, so it seems pretty foregone what is coming.

 

[BonesJones]

That 1 for 15 stretch in the 2nd quarter was brutal. 2nd unit takes way too long to get into their offense and we were just stagnant in general. I think we need to play Nurk with the bench. Should stagger him with Dame.

 

[James lamphear]

2nd quarter is the new 3rd, am I right? Guys?

Hopefully your right.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Stop watching the game then! Teamwork, baby, teamwork!

Fair enough.

 

[Chris Craig]

I'm not worried

 

[James lamphear]

Announcers said Zach had high ankle sprain if that the case we won't see him no time soon. Hopefully that's not the case.

 

[Almir]

We already had our 3rd quarter. Hope its finished.. Lakers also often play bad in 3rd quarter, so lets hope that their 3rd guarter is coming.

Go Blazers!

 

[oldmangrouch]

Announcers said Zach had high ankle sprain if that the case we won't see him no time soon. Hopefully that's not the case.

On top of everything else, the kid is brittle!

 

[Dametime61]

depth is a huge issue. If we had hood and ariza, I'd fancy us to win this series

 

[Sedatedfork]

Well the third can’t be worse than the second?

 

[Dom McBlazer]

3 bench points. Pitiful.
