Game Thread GAME# 14: BLAZERS @ LAKERS - NOVEMBER 14, 2018 - WEDNESDAY, 7:30 PM, ESPN

I got love for my boy @Chris Craig but he's wrong here.

 

Pretty much this, I interpreted both as f1 fouls.
The second being worse, but I also didn't believe Nurk really played an outcome in the fall.
It was all CJ and Nurk made a basketball play coming over to help and went straight up.

 

You had a closed look. You weren't looking between the play.

He clearly slapped LeBron in the face bro.

 

And at Indiana. At Chris Paul in Texas too.[/QUOTE]Healthy Nawlins was a good win as well. But Cupcake and Company didn't watch those games. I guess that rabbit ears TV only gets the LABum Network.

 

I agree that the contact wasn't enough to hurt LBJ. That LBJ forced them to look at it by 'playing the blow up'. But it still happened and by the letter of the rule it's a f1.

 

I think he was talking about the last Layman foul, not the face foul. The last one was a ghost call. He did hit LABums face on the previous one. And LABum fouled Dame on the block as well.

 

You have to know the rule interpretation. They should've called both fouls flagrant 1s.

Now, I HATE that F1s even exist. But that's another topic.

 

Hammy healed fast with that Flagrant Foul Medicine.

 

I wouldve been ok with both being f1’s, but there were quite a few fouls they called for Lebron where no one even touched him. Also the Lakers got away with some pretty cheap shots to guys, a few goaltends. The Lakers apparently only commited one foul in the 2nd and it was an intentional foul...

 

Listen, hear me out, Melo would’ve helped tonight. When one or both of our guards struggle, we don’t have that third guy that can go off against anybody by himself. I still see the same issues I saw against New Orleans. The bench is better but late in games it’s still the same unit.

 

With Melo LA mightve scored 130 instead though...

 

I disagree about the Rockets. What they have is a case of the stupids. They lets almost all their glue guys this summer. Its not Carmelo’s that PJ Tucker became their only legit 3 and D player... Carmelo’s never been that.

 

They(Lakers) were hot from 3 tonight. That's not gonna happen everytime they play. They will probably be brick city their next game. Blazers bench let them down tonight, is what it is. But Nurk is showing great improvement so the Blazers will be alright. It just sucks because it was the Lakers on National TV. The bench is improved, and ET had an off night with the rest of the bench. This team is in a good place as long as the rip city "0"perative stays healthy.

 

Nope. If you think our defence was bad tonight, thats Melo everynight. We’d lose games by blowouts regularly

 

The bench actually did well in the first half. It was the starters that let the lead slip.

But yes, feed Nurk.

 

Yes but during the 3rd quarter Laker run they were awful.
