Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 2: BLAZERS @ LAKERS - AUGUST 20, 2020 - THURSDAY, 6:00 , ESPN & NBCSNW

[AldoTrapani]

Our rebounding is fucking terrible.

TERRIBLE!

 

[Natebishop3]

That was 100% off Howard.

 

[Tince]

Zach Collins fouls too much!

 

[The Professional Fan]

Gabriel cannot do anything without getting fouls called on him. Nothing. Not his fault. Not all of it.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Gabriel not allowed to front apparently must be a new rule

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Refs just hate Wenyen!

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Zach Collins fouls too much!

We could use those 6 fouls rn

 

[Labinot41]

We can’t grab a board

 

[BlayZa]

Wenyen a banger, he aint scared -pushed like mofo off that FT then mowed down the laker under the basket, kicks out for the assist to Trent.

good shit.

can we please fuckin rebound the ball?

 

[BonesJones]

Why the fuck would we run a zone when we cant rebound... That's baffling

 

[B-Roy]

That foul was bullshit, but at the same time, Wenyen needs to be smart about when to play aggressive and when not to. What was he expecting to do pressuring Howard off the ball that far away from the basket? Risk/reward...

 

[Mediocre Man]

Serious question

why is our rebounding so bad?

 

[Sedatedfork]

Time to start punching them in the groin Batum style

 

[BlazerBeav]

Just dying on the boards. But still in it.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Howard shoves Gabriel’s hand off of him, and Gabriel gets the foul???

 

[Dametime61]

if we had hood and ariza, we definetely win this series, so unfortunete, all other west teams are fully healthy

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Trent has been great on D and in this game

Only guy on the team working on defense at a playoff level.

 

[Natebishop3]

Serious question

why is our rebounding so bad?

It's effort. We aren't boxing out.

 

[wizenheimer]

it isn't just Whiteside,,,,Lakers are grabbing offensive rebounds when Nurk is in the game too. Maybe Portland had a problem with their forwards

 

[AldoTrapani]

What was it rated?

That when Nurk comes back and Zach it’s gonna be nice. Sure hasn’t even when Zach was back

 

[AldoTrapani]

Interior defense again

 

[Natebishop3]

it isn't just Whiteside,,,,Lakers are grabbing offensive rebounds when Nurk is in the game too. Maybe Portland had a problem with their forwards

Nurk is boxing out worse than Whiteside right now.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

GREAT HUSTLE!

 

[James lamphear]

Good hustle Gabriel.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

There is no logical reason why we can’t be a great rebounding team

 

[B-Roy]

Why is Mario back in? They aren't even guarding him.

 

[Natebishop3]

What the hell happened to our offense?

 

[BlayZa]

im confused.

has lebron had an attempt to fix that hairline? literally the dad from Family Matters

 

[Sedatedfork]

Caruso is a gnat that should be squished

 

[beast blazer]

Well, we can get a rebound by accident
