My heart rate for this game is definitely elevated.
 
Lakers have no bench....we have to beat basically two guys to beat them....I don't buy the Laker hype that they are some super team...they're not all that...Lebron ain't getting younger and Davis has no post season experience....we have good rim protection and they can't shoot 3s very well....I like our chances against them....the Clippers give us more problems in my view but it helps that Kawhi is out today
 
Scott Foster is one of the ref today.... Good luck Blazers. Just Win Baby!
 
Clippers starting Shamet and Reggie Jackson. That team is so deep.

Hopefully it helps that there's no crowd to piss off Scott Foster...he might not know how to handle a game in the bubble

I think the Bucks and Clippers are the scariest teams in the playoffs ..today will be a hell of a test

Also- it’s been over 2 years since LeBron’s been in playoffs too. His “playoff mode activated” didn’t work last year.

Think the narrative is overblown. Lebron and AD would absolutely destroy us. I can see us getting maybe 2 games if everything broke right. The Ariza absence is massive, and that is more an indictment on Neil's ineptitude than anything that we are THIS reliant on a 35 yr old we picked up off the trash heap. Barkley is talking out his ass when he says we can beat them. Not with our defense.

Lakers have the worst offense in the bubble. They have 2 players and that’s it. Who guards Dame and CJ?
 
Geez, they really meant 10 o clock on the dot, din't they??!!!

LeBron's demise has been greatly exaggerated by you and The Brow is great despite his playoff inexperience (he did once sweep us though right?). Green, KCP, and even Morris shoot over 36% then LeBron and the Brow both make right around 34% so that is definitely some good three point shooting. A bench of Kuzma, Morris and Howard makes them a deeper team than we are and I actually think Waiters and Caruso are both playable. The Lakers are the favorites in the West and should be, make no mistake about it. We just happen to match up well with them, so we have the best chance of any team 8-13 to beat them in a series.
 
Clips may not have Kawhi, Montrezl, and Beverly but we don’t have Ariza, Hood, or Swanigan.
 
No Hassan? Damn, Zach needs to play more conservatively under the defensive hoop. Wait, too late.

The Kawhi news is tempered by this fact:

Scott Foster is officiating today's game.

Morning drinking it is.

Gotta get GTJ in the game to counter Lou Williams before he gets started gunning
