Game Thread PRESEASON GAME # 3: BLAZERS @ LAKERS - OCTOBER 11, 2016 - TUESDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), NBATV

[riverman]

That was Frank Laymen. Or Jake Laymen. Layman. Whatever his name is.

I'm calling him Easy Layman

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Had I been referring to him, that would have been a Paula Abdul insult. She has some talent, at least

 

[Jade Falcon]

The tall one??

You a smart motherfucker that's right....

Oh, and the Lakers broadcast is REALLY annoying. Must they play obnoxious beat music during the commercials? That shit is louder than the guys talking.

 

[Darkwebs]

Trouble inbounding. Hope this isn't a Blazer trend this year.

 

[ripcityboy]

Lakers shut down D. Michael Cooper somewhere in the house?

[Darkwebs]

That's what Leonard looks like when he's trying to play defense, swatting at air.

More like what he looks like dancing in his backyard to Michael Jackson

 

[ripcityboy]

Wow. Pulled it out.

 

[julius]

Thank goodness this is over.

 

[Darkwebs]

Good guys win!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Portland has won its first three preseason games for the first time since 2002. Houston is the only other 3-0 team this preseason.

 

[riverman]

I predicted a blowout and we won by a couple points....everything is back to normal

 

[Mediocre Man]

Wow. Pulled it out.

Just like me with Mrs HCP

 

[illmatic99]

Trouble inbounding. Hope this isn't a Blazer trend this year.

Dude this is the fourth team out there. Of course they'll have trouble inbounding

 

[Nhawz]

I hope connaughton is the odd man out. He's terrible

 

[riverman]

For just having one full court practice...Meyers did pretty good tonight. A lot of our shooters were cold....Meyers was better than Crabbe for half the paycheck

Boy.... I set that one up perfectly.

I see this is gonna be a trend already in preseason.

We can't keep bringing up these guys' salaries after every game. Everyone got PAID. The numbers are so distorted now and there is no guideline for how much a role player must make vs a starter, etc. Hell, by those standards, CJ is the worst production/$ guy on the team by far this preseason

 

[Trackjack]

The players that stand out to night Dame Plum Harkless. ML was alright for limit time practicing. Things that hurt us free throw shooting, points in the paint and that the 2nd game in a row we was bad there and turn overs.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Both their games are from the 3 point line. Crabbe 33%, Fabio 25%. I'll take the better % with the defense over the cover model

 

[Trackjack]

I give again thumb up to the end of the bench for the win. Lakers went towards there starters to win and don't blame Walton to do that to teach them how to win again.

 

[illmatic99]

Both their games are from the 3 point line. Crabbe 33%, Fabio 25%. I'll take the better % with the defense over the cover model

Crabbe got roasted by anyone he was guarding tonight

 

[Mediocre Man]

Crabbe got roasted by anyone he was guarding tonight

At least he was trying to guard someone

 

[Trackjack]

Crabbe definitely disappear this game.

 

[riverman]

preseason is just a part of training camp so they've got some coaching to do after this one...probably a good thing

 

[riverman]

TRob never saw the court tonight did he?

 

[ripcityboy]

Fuckin Talking Ducks.... What? We need a new stamp for this season. Don't we?

 

[Darkwebs]

TRob never saw the court tonight did he?

Nope.
