[GhostOfPGA]

Hey does anyone know how we can get on the fan cams? I wanna get naked and eat nachos for the world to see.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Unfortunately we got bad cj, bad Melo and bad dame today guys

 

[Dametime61]

jesus christ offense is pathetic, 19 points? Against this lakers defense

 

[beast blazer]

Super shitty quarter

 

[B-Roy]

Bad day for Dame's teammates not to show up.

 

[Labinot41]

Goddam i hate Davis man he allways kills us

 

[blazerkor]

Just a bad effort in the first quarter. Again giving up offensive rebounds and not playing with purpose on offense. We can score way more efficiently against this Lakers team.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Dame posting up lol

It’s because Blazers completely can’t get in their offense. We’re getting shutdown

 

[AldoTrapani]

Not last game

 

[James lamphear]

Sometimes you got jump for rebound Whiteside flat footed rebounds won't cut it this series.

 

[DDolla]

At least our shitty quarter is gone now.

 

[Natebishop3]

and bad dame today

10 points... 3-6 shooting..... what?

 

[B-Roy]

Now we have to survive the non-Dame minutes. Good lord.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

We’ve been in worse positions, just need to keep this game in arms reach for the 4th quarter.

 

[VenomXL]

Pretty fortunate that’s it’s only a single digit deficit right now.

 

[Serbian]

Whiteside needs to be more aggressive grabing boards. Melo has a stinker but actually everyone has a bad game. With Dame sitting we can not fall to double digits

 

[B-Roy]

One assist that entire quarter and now we're going to the CJ at PG minutes.....

 

[Almir]

C mon Blazers! Get yourself together!

We can attack them, need some run to gain self - confidence and start to hit the shots...

 

[Chris Craig]

We got this

 

[Dametime61]

lakers defense is wack, the offense has just not showed up today, including guys missing good looks

 

[BlazerBeav]

Let’s not play like that anymore.

 

[wizenheimer]

Unfortunately we got bad cj, bad Melo and bad dame today guys

Dame is doing fine against the pressure defense he's faced....no other Blazer is playing well

 

[BlayZa]

imagine if we could box out.

not sure what seems wrong atm, just too many bad passes, big hoists, ugh

 

[AldoTrapani]

Lakers have been playing great defense on us since game 1. And they continue to shut us down. Only thing that kills them really is they can’t hit 3s

 

[Irish Trader]

I can understand not wanting to do it full time for all of 82 games. Tim Duncan didn't either. But they need to be able to do it for extended stretches. LMA would actually do its for extended minutes of games in the regular season. He was much more tough player than AD.

No

 

[Wade Garrett]

Letting the Lakers score at the basket.
That is smart.
DO NOT FOUL!!!!
Let them have all the 2 at the rim.
Fast break..DO NOT FOUL!!!
Offensive rebound..DO NOT FOUL!!!!
Lakers can't shoot.
Blazers can.
Let them make 2's.Blazers make 3's.....
..Now, that's not everything, but it is an approach that I think I'm seeing..

 

[James lamphear]

Shooting 12.5 percent from the 3 is not going to cut it for 3 point shooting team.

 

[Natebishop3]

Nurk isn't boxing out.

 

[BonesJones]

Only Terry complaint: Offense got too stagnant and we isolated way too much without running sets.

Other than that, Nurkic and Whiteside killed us in every area of the game that 1st quarter. They need to wake up.
