[Dom McBlazer]

1/13???????

 

[Strenuus]

MELO WITH THE 3 and D!

 

[AldoTrapani]

Dumb shot and stupid foul by Lillard

 

[AldoTrapani]

1/13???????

Somehow we are blaming the refs lol

 

[BigGameDamian]

Is Carmelo a top 5 3&D player?

 

[B-Roy]

This feels like a preseason game.

 

[RoseCityRebel]

Someone tell McCollum that it’s OK if he hits an open 3 please.

 

[Tince]

Dumb shot and stupid foul by Lillard

2 for 1. Not a new concept if you've been watching this team for the last 6-7 years.

 

[Strenuus]

As shitty as that 2nd quarter was, I'll take the lead.

But dear god, the 3rd quarter. I'm legit worried.

 

[Labinot41]

Man why can't we play the same defense like in the 1st quarter??

 

[DDolla]

Here’s the scary 3rd quarter

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

If the refs would let Wenyen play defense and CJ could hit some shots; we would have a chance.

 

[Tince]

Well that was one UGLY 2nd quarter. Our lack up depth is a real issue. Gary Trent looking a little rattled. CJ not playing great. Yet we're still up 1!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I'm very pleased with this first half!

 

[Dom McBlazer]

What an ugly 2nd quarter. Who's ready for that 3rd quarter THOOOOOOOOO????

 

[VenomXL]

That was one of the ugliest quarters I’ve ever seen.

 

[Chris Craig]

Davis just made Shaq'n the fool

 

[Darkwebs]

Can we end the game now, before the 3rd quarters begins?

 

[chris_in_pdx]

TNT busting out the old school L.L. Cool J

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Blazers actually shooting more FTs

Maybe that's because lakers are fouling a lot more?

 

[Serbian]

Its hard to win when they call every foul on AD. Even fouls he commits he goes to the line.

 

[blazerfan11]

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.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Maybe that's because lakers are fouling a lot more?

So we shouldn’t complain

 

[B-Roy]

LeBron has as many assists as the Blazers do as a team: 10.

Lakers have 11 as a team.

 

[RoseCityRebel]

No surprise Gabriel has 4 fouls but he is active. Sure could use a Collins/Gabriel rotation in this series if Collins isn’t badly injured. Wear Davis out.

 

[AldoTrapani]

2 for 1. Not a new concept if you've been watching this team for the last 6-7 years.

Well take a good one then

 

[Shaboid]

I hate the Lakers sooooooo much

 

[AldoTrapani]

No surprise Gabriel has 4 fouls but he is active. Sure could use a Collins/Gabriel rotation in this series if Collins isn’t badly injured. Wear Davis out.

Collins would have fouled out by now

 

[James lamphear]

We getting kill on the boards right to me that what making the Lakers stay in the game. Plus we need more help in scoring besides Dame and Nurk.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Well.... let's be honest... the Blazers couldn't really play worse than they did in that 2nd Quarter...

But... WAIT... THE 3RD QUARTER SAYS... THERE'S MORE!!!
