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

[Irish Trader]

We better man up and get some brassys or it’s going to be a long second half

 

[Hoopguru]

Lots of game left.
Its a game if runs and we haven't had one yet.
This team has heart!

 

[James lamphear]

That was fucking miserable. I have no clue what Terry is doing tonight

Stotts haven't shot one shot tonight it more the players tonight.

 

[42N8Bounce]

3-15 from 3s and overall 34% fg ain't gonna cut it.

I bet we don’t win another game again in this series

Um, stats reset each game.

 

[beast blazer]

I have a great plan. Since getting you back run into is an offensive foul, lets just keep running into james and Davis till the foul out.

 

[LayneStaley]

As long as we get it under 10 going into the 4th I see this as another last possession decides the win kinda game.

 

[Natebishop3]

I don't think you can blame the refs for this. Yeah they have missed a few calls, but we're just sucking ass.

 

[BonesJones]

How is it not on Stotts to get the offense running better than this? What set do you think Stotts called here? This is a microcosm of our offense tonight.

 

[wizenheimer]

CJ and Melo have combined for 8 points on 16 shots; that's 0.5 points/shot; that's really bad

it's like the Blazer team from February showed up tonight

 

[Natebishop3]

Regardless, the Lakers are not good. They aint winnin the chip.

 

[blazerkor]

Of course you think we won't win another game. You probably don't think the Blazers will ever win another game. Every game and series and possession and second and millisecond is a loss to you. Man it must suck to be so motherfucking negative.

 

[AldoTrapani]

We won’t win again. Lakers defense is too damn good

Their defense is too damn good

 

[AldoTrapani]

I feel bad for Dame he deserves better

First coach to run a PnR into an isolation. Golden State, Milwaukee, and Toronto never do that.

 

[Chris Craig]

You need to go over to Lakersground with that shit.

 

[Tince]

I feel bad for Dame he deserves better

I think he's much happier than you are, so no need to worry about him.

 

[bobf]

Strangely enough the problem is our offense not our defense. Thought Trent did a great job on Lebron except when he posted him up. Grabriel is gonna be the shit next year.

 

[Labinot41]

I have to admit, my first reaction after game 1 was, yeah great we won't get swept, and i knew why i thought that

 

[Serbian]

We gotta come out hot. 17 pts deficit aint shit. I saw celtics come back in playoffs vs lakers down 24 at half time

 

[DDolla]

The team feels like happy just winning game 1 lol

 

[Chris Craig]

Pulling an Orlando

You going blame the coach when CJ don't use his pick properly twice on that. Plus CJ looking for his shot the whole time. I blame it on bad execution by CJ.

 

[HailBlazers]

Hopefully we dont get the Clamp from them.

 

[Chris Craig]

Hopefully we dont get the Clamp from them.

Did the Lakers test positive?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Hopefully we dont get the Clamp from them.

They clamping us the fuck up. Since the 1st quarter of game 1 they have shut us down defensively

I think the pace reduction is intentional. Noticed that in the first game too. Think we're trying to not get in a foot race with Lebron/AD.

 

[Tince]

You going blame the coach when CJ don't use his pick properly twice on that. Plus CJ looking for his shot the whole time. I blame it on bad execution by CJ.

Of course it was a less than ideal shot by CJ (that he does make at times), but blaming the coach when shots aren't falling is always the easy go-to.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

CJ McCollum is in year 8 and still having performances like this often.

$157 million for a guy who you literally have no idea what you’re going to get on a night to night basis offensively, and is brutal defensively.

Live by the cj, die by the cj.
