Hickson > Howard.

Loved hearing the crowd start to scream at him to pass the fucking ball right before the violation.

The best thing that could happen was when meta hit that three. I was like YES!

Then how does LMA have a 107 rating and Hickson a 105 rating?

Seriously, the per36 numbers show they are essentially as effective as each other with LMA scoring more points, Hickson getting more rebounds and Hickson shooting 9% better.

Me too.

 

[Wheels]

hmmm

 

[BlazerCaravan]

The Lillard Method.

 

[Darkwebs]

Cold blooded Lillard

 

[BlazerCaravan]

The Lillard Method.

x2!

 

[Darkwebs]

Dame has been attacking the rim more in the 2nd half. Nice to see

 

[BlazerCaravan]

How good are we playing to be in this game despite the cheesedick calls by the refs?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

We're in this game with Claver as the 6th man.

Think about that, Laker fans.

 

[Darkwebs]

Refs love the Lakers

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The Lillard Method.

Attacking? That should be the Lillard method.

Should be.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Lakers sure getting the bump calls.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Snow job.

 

[magnifier661]

Why don't the refs not call that?!

 

[LuckyShot]

You can't expect to win a close game in LA.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

28-12 FT's and an equal amount if contact.

 

[MickZagger]

lol Wes was hot!

 

[B-Roy]

I knew that possession was going to shit once Batum entered it into Matthews. With the options they have, posting up Wesley should be option #10.

 

[BlazerBeav]

The fix is in - all this help and the Lakers are still barely beating a sub-500 team at home. Fuck LA.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

At least Eric got to see a close loss this time.

 

[Jayps15]

The fix has been in since at least the minny game, I swear the league has mandated LA at least makes it close to the 8th seed down the stretch for the drama of it.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Ball. Don't. Lie.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I understand refs being intimidated by the home crowd... but this seems out of control.

 

[Wheels]

Nash is close to a horrible shooting night of epic proportions

 

[Darkwebs]

Nash is off tonight. Unbelievable

 

[Sedatedfork]

Refs are clearly Blazer fans, trying to wear Lakers out by making them shoot a bunch of free throws

 

[PapaG]

I'd say I'm surprised about the terrible reffing, but I think we all knew that there was no way the Blazers were going to get a fair game called tonight. The NBA needs the Lakers in the playoff.

So, instead I am just laughing about it. It's nice to see LMA and Wes get so fired up. Meanwhile, Stotts stands there like a statue.
