    Or was it flexed in due to the Kobe situation?

    Tough spot for the Blazers. Kobe worship-fest all night long, and the Blazers are just supposed cannon fodder. Hopefully Dame continues his hot shooting.

    The OregonLive schedule indicates that it was always an ESPN game.

    This definitely sucks. We're the bad guys on the wrong day to be the bad guys.

    First game after Kobe is us because the Clippers game was postponed. Fuck. Blazers are going to get fucked in the ass. The NBA will want the Lakers to win for a feel good story. The Blazers are the villians. Refs are going whistle like a kettle at high steam. A most probable loss. Kobe fucking the Blazers one more time.

    So you are saying Kobe's death will have no effect whatsoever?

    I'm reminded of the Mariners playing in LAA after Skaggs' death. Got no-hit. Tough to do in basketball, but I don't expect double-digit FTs from Dame tonight.

    Beating the lakers on Kobe night is ultimate mamba mentality.

    I will not watch this game, because

    1. The Lakers are a better Team than us, and they gonna Play in kobes Honor, which means they gonna Play as it was their Last game, no way they lose this game. We will see probably the most motivated Lakers Team in years.

    2. It's gonna be all about the Lakers and rightfully about Kobe, but as a Blazers i dont wanna see my Team treaten like the bad guys from national television.

    3. Even if we play great, no way the NBA let the Blazers win in Staple Center the First game After Kobes death, noooooo way

    Very tough situation to be in. I just hope they're in it to win it, competing shouldn't make you the bad guys.

    The silver lining is that this was likely a loss anyway.

    Eh I'm going to enjoy the game no matter the result. If we win great but I'm not expecting a win at all. The Lakers are good this year and they've had 6 days off lol. They'll be rested and extremely focused.

    Kobe always lost in Portland so I'm expecting a win.

    I was thinking about this but Melo was also close with Kobe so we’ve got #MambaMentality on both sides. Dame will show up for him too. Definitely a must watch basketball game for any fan.
