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

[BonesJones]

LETS JUST RUN AROUND THE ARC FOR FUN

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

The only lineup that has been a consistent positive since the restart is Dame/CJ/Trent/Melo/Nurk.

Yeah, we'll probably get killed on the boards, but they're getting killed there anyways and they can't score on the other end.

Certainly some validity to that: why does CJ play 24 minutes first half and Trent 12?

 

[tlongII]

Just gotta protect homecourt now.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

We gotta switch it up, we are too flat footed and slow rn.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I feel bad for him. He can’t save this shit show himself.

Shit show? We're actually winning the series right now,

 

[Dametime61]

i can't see us winning this series

 

[Tince]

 

[Tince]

i can't see us winning this series

Did you see us winning the series before it started?

 

[Strenuus]

Shit show? We're actually winning the series right now,

In his defense, I think he was talking about this particular game.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Blazers don’t want this. Something happened to their motivation

 

[42N8Bounce]

I’m looking forward to game 3 where we can get back to the home court.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Dame is addicted to that long 3

 

[Strenuus]

I’m looking forward to game 3 where we can get back to the home court.

What home court?

 

[LayneStaley]

Maybe an embarrassing blowout is what we need

 

[AldoTrapani]

Oh man this is gonna be a 30 point blow out

 

[BonesJones]

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.

That's fine but RUN something PRODUCTIVE. We literally stand ar halfcourt or just run around the arc. No backscreens, no cross-screens, no UCLA cuts... we literally have absolutely ZERO basket cuts. It's all pick n roll, isolation, or running around the arc.

 

[AldoTrapani]

I feel bad for Dame he deserves better than this

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Lol. This is embarrassing.

 

[illmatic99]

WTF. no pride

we haven't done that in 8 yrs

 

[Strenuus]

Dame is addicted to that long 3

I would be too if:

A) I make 40% of them

And

B ) no one else is doing shit.

 

[BlazerRx]

Definitely do not have the energy we had last game....this is getting ugly.

 

[LayneStaley]

Pull Dame.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Silver lining if we can come back from a 27 point deficit the Lakers are toast

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I would have liked to see a replay of Wenyon's fourth foul.

 

[Strenuus]

I feel bad for Dame he deserves better than this

So this is the 3rd one in 2 minutes.

Find more things!

 

[HailBlazers]

Refs really got the Clamps on Wenyen tonight

 

[LayneStaley]

We aren’t coming back from 27

 

[AldoTrapani]

Lolol our rebounding is terrible

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow we suck today
