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

[VenomXL]

Big shot by Dame.

40 point quarter is brutal.

 

[Serbian]

Mario can’t be in the game. Just cannot.

He is the worst player i ever seen. Makes kwame brown look like jordan. The question is how does he keeps staying employed in the nba? How can someone be so trash?

 

[Cugel]

Its not brutal it's unacceptable

 

[Tince]

This will be an unpopular take with some:

Our defense was no worse in the 3rd quarter than in the first half. The Lakers made a ton of shots that they normally don't make.

 

[B-Roy]

It's maddening to me that our best lineup in the seeding games has barely played together in this series. Trying to match the Lakers is not going to work because we just don't have as much talent.

 

[VenomXL]

They’re playing hard but just don’t have a bench they can trust. Most of the other teams in the playoffs can throw bench guys in for spot minutes and have it not be a disaster.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

We’re down by 25 if not for Melo hitting all those crazy shots.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Simons and mario are unplayable

I was gonna say, But unfortunately we don't have anyone else. But we do have Gabriel and I can't see how Adams could do worse than Simons.

 

[illmatic99]

Can we please stop the fouling. And try to get nurkic going

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man I can’t believe this organization use to hype Simons lol

The halfcourt defense was fine for the most part but:

1.) they allowed a few easy scores with Ant guarding the perimeter.

2.) poor decision making led to some fast break points.

The fact that we couldn't score exacerbated the problem.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

A WHOPPING FIVE points from our bench.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Mario Hejonza is the worst player I've ever seen in the NBA.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Nurk isn’t attacking at all

He is just not able to focus; I guess I feel sorry for the big guy.

Man ya been saying that all series lmao

 

[twobullz]

The fact that Trent didn't take a shot in the quarter is not good. Need to get him some open shots to open up the floor for others. Instead Ant is 0-4.

 

[OneSport3]

Is it me or do you post more when the team......YOUR FAVORITE TEAM..... is playing like shit? It's almost as if you enjoy being the Blazers not playing well.

Are there mods in here to, you know, moderate this guy? He clearly is trolling.

 

[Tince]

Can we please stop the fouling. And try to get nurkic going

It was a bummer seeing us get Nurk a post-up on Pope and he didn't even try to take advantage of it.

 

[VenomXL]

BANG

 

[BlazerBeav]

Pray we get hot from deep.

 

[Titan]

There you go Nurk

 

[AldoTrapani]

Idc what anybody says Nurkic is garbage offensively

 

[AldoTrapani]

Idc what anybody says Nurkic is garbage offensively

Im telling ya!

 

[VenomXL]

Come on Nurk. Go strong.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Come on Nurk. Go strong.

He’s garbage on offense

 

[beast blazer]

God damn it nurk. Does the blazer training staff inject our big men with esteogen?

 

[VenomXL]

There you go big man.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Are the coaches not talking to Nurk about this soft stuff?

 

[Darkwebs]

More of that, Nurk. Stop those soft flip shots

 

[ehizzy3]

There we go.like I said we need nurkic to attack the rim
