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

[JoshuaHall]

why is everyone making it sound like the lakers are fortunate to be “only down 4”?

They’ve shot 31 fts, they should be winning.
If anything we should be fortunate to be winning I’d think..

bit disappointing to have 31 - 8 FTA advantage and still be losing

oh and we are shooting less than 40% from the field

 

[MickZagger]

3 game parlay. Put down $100 on Miami spread, OKC Money line and Blazers ML to win $800. You can say I’m a little over amped. I’d be amped if I had no money riding on this

 

[AldoTrapani]

He's on pace for 38 points on 55% shooting. I'll give him a pass on a few TOs while having a busted up hand.
I understand you are stretching big time to find something negative to post about, but we are up 4 to the #1 team in the west. Try enjoying it.....or you can wait til we give up the lead and lose and you can post 8 times how "you told us!"

We’ll be Ight man. Relax

We are still shooting under 40%, making careless plays. Same with the Lakers, but they've benefitted from the whistle which is why the game is close.

 

[Labinot41]

We cant afford to lose this game with Dame and CJ both hot. If we lose this, the series is over in 5

 

[riverman]

Go Blazers! Step on the gas now!

which is why I do not understand why the lakers are “fortunate to only be down 4”

they should be blowing us out

 

[Labinot41]

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

Yes, i'm happy he got hot

 

[AldoTrapani]

We should guard Lebron like they guard lillard

Not the way it works

 

[Darkwebs]

How the hell is there no foul on the Nurk dunk, but they'd be calling touch fouls on the other end?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Yea Lebron ain’t losing this game

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Nurk is not confident in the post even against guards right now.

 

[Titan]

Now the l*ker threes start falling

 

[beast blazer]

When is nurk ever going to stop with that weak shot

 

[Tince]

Lakers have come out not taking the highest percentage shots, but they're making them.

 

[VenomXL]

Here comes the avalanche.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Our beloved 3Q woes continue.....

 

[BlazerBeav]

Thr bullshit officiating continues.

 

[Titan]

How many threes we going to give up

 

[DDolla]

Here comes the 3rd qtr

 

[James lamphear]

Bad challenge by Stotts

 

[AldoTrapani]

This is going to get ugly fast

 

[Darkwebs]

How many threes we going to give up

All of them!

 

[wizenheimer]

looks like another dumb challenge to me...but what do I know

 

[VenomXL]

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

 

[Serbian]

We have to shoot lights out. If we dont we will always loose because the NBA is rigged for the lakers this embarrassing.

 

[Almir]

damn 3rd qtr... always the same. No help for that

 

[PCmor7]

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.

 

[Labinot41]

Yeah it's over.
