the refs have very little to do with this loss. The Blazers pathetic rebounding and defense and being lazy is whats to blame.

It's 8 to 24 in FTs with 4 from hack a Dwight. I agree the effort has been an issue, but the refs are compounding the issue.

Leonard is super athletic.... but man he's soft. Joel Przybilla he is not.

 

[jlprk]

Right now I'm understanding what Hibbert would have given us. A stopper. Hickson's not tall enough against Howard, and Leonard is absolutely putrid when he plays a starter's length of minutes.

 

[jlprk]

Aldridge is never capable of taking charge when we are weak inside. Not the type, should be a center.

Be interesting to see LMA on Howard. I guess POR doesn't want him to get in foul trouble since he is the only one really scoring?

 

[julius]

can Portland break 80 tonight?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Freeland makes an appearance.

 

[julius]

I don't mind Nic filling the stat sheets, but I'd rather he be the guy who started the year aggressive and forceful.

 

[magnifier661]

Nice travel gasol

 

[BigGameDamian]

Blazers interior defense fucken sucks!!

 

[KingSpeed]

Go Lakers!

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Freeland is looking somewhat competent in garbage time. Be nice if he could have some confidence when the game was not in doubt.

 

[julius]

I wonder, what exactly was the the game plan for the Blazers tonight?

don't rebound, don't defend, don't hustle and don't run plays on offense.

well, check check check and check.

Sounds to me like you don't like Stotts?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

@TrailBlazersPR LaMarcus Aldridge (sternal contusion) will not return to tonight's game.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Interesting that Claver continues to start yet tonight he has the 3rd fewest minutes of any player on our team. Not like we are only running 8 out there tonight either.

 

[julius]

so far I'm not that impressed with the teams offense (it's partly due to lack of talent),and I'm really not impressed with their defense or defensive effort.

 

[julius]

stotts offense is better than Nates, but anything would've been better than Nates.

Yea glad we have Nolan Smith and not another power forward

half-ass clown?

 

[magnifier661]

Meh we've never played well in la

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

This is why I stopped going to laker games...never win at staples except if they play the clippers

 

[jlprk]

The Lakers were extra-psyched because 1) they were so close to us in the standings and 2) 7 or so Laker superstars watched the game.

Retiring the number of Jamaal Wilkes is what did us in. Kupchak probably told the players, don't embarrass us in front of these legends.

You mean when the game was IN doubt

So why do we go? I swear, if I want to see us play, I should just make the trip to Portland. I hate watching us on the road.

 

[Rhal]

I had to finish the game watching it on my phone in the bedroom. Don't know who i'm more mad at, the obv scapegoat of the refs or the fact the blazers gave a pretty damn piss poor effort out there.

You'd be way way more likely to see a win that way, too. Next time, pick a nice juicy homestand like the one we had, and just move here for a week, catch a bunch of games, and enjoy some wins and good food!

Probably cheaper too, flight included

NBA Basketball is a game of momentum, and the refs have all the control over it.

Don't bring your jinx infection here.

 

[julius]

Don't bring your jinx infection here.

There is no "I" in blame but there are two I's in syphilis.

Just saying, you probably want to go get yourself checked.
