Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 5: BLAZERS @ LAKERS 8/29/2020 - SATURDAY 6PM! TNT & NBCSNW

[KSF-ERIC]

LOL! When I suggested something similar, you shit all over me!

I've always supported playing Hoard

 

[B-Roy]

Missed Gary wide open.

 

[James lamphear]

So far all the young is playing well.

 

[Darkwebs]

Dammit. A few unlucky bounces near the end. Otherwise the Blazers could've had a lead

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I'll take it. We won the 2nd quarter. Tie. Game of the Night!

 

[DDolla]

Here comes the 3rd quarter where the Lakers shoots 30 FTs

 

[Labinot41]

Cj plays better without Dame, Dame plays better without CJ. They are not a good fit

 

[KSF-ERIC]

LeBron has made 20 of his last 25 shots and a lot have been jumpers.

 

[Cugel]

Hoard looks solid. Considering the no calls it was a great half.couldhave been better with some calls

 

[KSF-ERIC]

We're outrebounding them. LeBron only has 1 rebound.

 

[Buffalo Custard]

Cj plays better without Dame, Dame plays better without CJ. They are not a good fit

Everybody knows that, but the people with the power to actually do something about it don't care.

 

[James lamphear]

Cj plays better without Dame, Dame plays better without CJ. They are not a good fit

Your right due to there both ball dominant type of guards. One play better defense then the other but not by much.

 

[Chris Craig]

I wanted 70 at half dammit

 

[illmatic99]

were Chuck and Cliffy ever teammates in Phoenix, or had Barkley left the Suns by that time?

 

[James lamphear]

This half I want to see if Whiteside wants to play. Half the time he looks like he is in a daze or just don't want to be out there.

HALF the time?

He has been engaged like 10% of the time this season. We don't need the second half of his last game as a Blazer to determine this. He better be gone.

 

[beast blazer]

Now all of a sudden the lakers arent getting 68 fts per game?

 

[Chris Craig]

Barkley left right before Cliffy joined the Suns

 

[illmatic99]

I really want to bring Melo back. In whatever capacity. He might shoot us out of games, but his defense hasn't been THAT bad and he's not scared of the moment. And I think he's really mentored Trent a lot off the court this year. Give him a token starter role and let him play 25 mpg.

It's just a damn shame he didn't come here before going to OKC/HOU.

 

[Darkwebs]

The refs had a let-down game as soon as they saw Dame was out.

 

[Hoopguru]

Blazers w/o Dame are pushing the ball more which I think gives the Lakers problem.

 

[illmatic99]

can we kick whiteside off now? I'd rather see hoard

 

[beast blazer]

I want to see Flimsy, Reedo and Borg from Calvary Chapel Church League.

 

[julius]

I think Whiteside shoved him

 

[Chris Craig]

They need to stop letting Lebron shoulder and elbow people

 

[James lamphear]

They should give McGee a T for that flop and how the hell the official don't see beyond me.

 

[B-Roy]

Wait if this is on Whiteside it’s good because it’s his 5th.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I'm glad CJ, Melo, and Nurk showed up for this. Shows a lot of pride and heart.

 

[Darkwebs]

Looks like Stotts wasted the challenge. Hopefully, we don't need it later because we'll be up by a bunch

 

[illmatic99]

I'm glad CJ, Melo, and Nurk showed up for this. Shows a lot of pride and heart.

Whiteside looks like he wants to go home.
