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

[Dom McBlazer]

Bro I just can't with these fouls.

 

[Darkwebs]

Where’s Trent, he didn’t play all season he can’t be tired.

Maybe Stotts is waiting for Lebron to come back into the game

 

[VenomXL]

How many guys are fouling out tonight?

 

[BlayZa]

simons is really bad, someone sit him plz.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man since when does Lillard take those mid rangers with a hand in his face?! Wtf

 

[Titan]

Drill it Dame

 

[VenomXL]

AD just throwing himself into defenders. Didn’t work that time.

 

[B-Roy]

I hope this extended run has really given Ant some confidence, because he played like shit.

 

[illmatic99]

They're not allowing our big guys to even put their hands up on defense. These fouls davis is getting are madness

 

[Dom McBlazer]

What about all the buckets he has hit....... did you know they were going in as well?

LOL he said that after the FIRST shot attempt.

 

[PCmor7]

OK. We haven't played anywhere near our potential. But we've gutted this out. Let's finish the half strong and then play up to our capabilities in the second half and take the lead in this series.

 

[James lamphear]

Melo not hitting much but doing a good job on Davis. Simons made some good defense moves. Dame staying hot.

He's the Harden of big men. Is there another big in the league who flops and baits the refs more?

 

[Tince]

simons is really bad, someone sit him plz.

I agree he's a major liability, but with the foul trouble, injuries, and poor roster make up, we're just picking between the lesser of the bad options.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Playing 5 on 8 and not particularly well...but we are playing HARD!

 

[B-Roy]

OTOH, Melo has guarded Davis really well on the postups. Might we have found something there? If he's not going to get killed in isolation we can start Gary at SF to guard LeBron.

 

[wizenheimer]

25-7 FT disparity....lol

 

[illmatic99]

He's definitely cemented his place as the 3rd best player on the Blazers IMO

Come on now

 

[ehizzy3]

We need to drive so we can get the same calls. We are not aggressive enough

yeah, Melo has shot like shit but he's working his ass off on defense

 

[AldoTrapani]

Get ANFERNEE OUT.

Man he’s so weak

 

[Titan]

Dame has Caruso on him, I don’t think he needs a screen, he can get by him

 

[THE HCP]

I don't understand why Carmelo spends so much time at the three point line instead of defensive rebounding. He is driving me even more crazy than normal.

You want Mario playing instead?

 

[B-Roy]

I understand being physical but gotta be smart with some of these fouls.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Lillard fucking up

 

[Darkwebs]

Is the NBA going to charge the Lakers property tax for living at the free throw line?

 

[B-Roy]

JAMES FUCKING TRIPPED ON GREEN

 

[B-Roy]

James fucking trips on Green and they give him FTs WTF?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Lillard really fucking up

 

[Titan]

Ok LeBron was fouled by his own guy
