Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 3: LAKERS @ BLAZERS - AUGUST 22, 2020 - SATURDAY, 5:30, ABC

[AldoTrapani]

Blazers need to make them work a bit on defense. These quick pull-ups are letting them run back off the rebound.

Their defense scares the blazers that’s why they do that

 

[AldoTrapani]

Yeah it's over.

Yessir

 

[GhostOfPGA]

These fucking refs deserve to die horrible aids related deaths

 

[illmatic99]

They better reverse that call

 

[B-Roy]

We need to play faster. Playing slow just plays to their strengths.

 

[James lamphear]

I like there trying get other players involve but you have some confidence when get the opportunity.

 

[Chris Craig]

For cripes sake, come out the third quarter, Nurk is playing tentative, we're settling for shots we could take anytime in the shot clock, and now we've probably wasted our challenge because I don't see any way the NBA takes a foul call away that would put LeBron on the line.

Yeah, not happening.

 

[Chris Craig]

We need to play faster. Playing slow just plays to their strengths.

It looked like playing fast was playing to their strength

 

[PCmor7]

I really hoped after that ridiculous first half the fouls might even up a bit in the second, but Nurk gets contact on the dunk, no foul, CJ gets pushed out of bounds, no foul.

 

[VenomXL]

Wasted that challenge

 

[ehizzy3]

Why did we challenge that? We get that call with dame all the time

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man Lakers are not that impressive. I thought they were much better. Their going to struggle in the later rounds

 

[ehizzy3]

Oh we didn’t challenge. Thank god

 

[Darkwebs]

Melo heating up!

 

[Titan]

Melo mad, he wants it

 

[VenomXL]

MELO ONE MAN RUN

 

[Darkwebs]

We got Good Melo this quarter

 

[Labinot41]

Hope these refs get corona

 

[VenomXL]

Wow Melo. Hats off to you

 

[Darkwebs]

CJ looked like Sub-Zero there; his hesitation moved froze both Lebron and Green

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Hope these refs get corona

Really dude?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I'm just glad they came back and are fighting hard tonight.

 

[B-Roy]

Lillard was about to punch Melo in the face if he missed that shot. Lillard was wide open.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Whoa CJ & Melo!

 

[DDolla]

Melo accepting the challenge... let’s Go!

 

[illmatic99]

Great boost of energy here from melo

 

[James lamphear]

Melo just got hot. To much dribble between Dame and CJ and got lucky we score.

 

[PCmor7]

Weather this storm. But this is ridiculous, playing against 8 guys.

 

[illmatic99]

Dames handle loos really shaky

 

[THE HCP]

This is going to get ugly fast

Nah brother, I have a feeling they are going to start going through Melo.
