    If refs would let Gabriel play, we could do that. We just don't have enough other NBA players suited up; who will we play?

    They can say it or not say it. They have to play better, neutral floor or not.

    Sorry but dame has not shown up tonight either. He's been lethargic on defense and barely closing out on shooters while getting lost on double teams. And he's making terrible reads of the weakside defense while he has the ball. That last offensive possession was an abomination in clock management.

    the spacing is killing his ability to read what's happening.

    Two fouls to Nurkic vs Davies were mistakes by the refs. Davies has protection by the these shit refs...

    Really to much iso play that half CJ 3-11 and Melo 1-5. We shooting 20 percent from the 3 and only 5 assist.

    refs screwing us the whole half doesn't fucking help otherwise we'd be within 10pts. Expect this for the rest of the series cause theres no way the nba will let lebron and lakers lose in the first round

    The only lineup that has been a consistent positive since the restart is Dame/CJ/Trent/Melo/Nurk.

    Yeah, we'll probably get killed on the boards, but they're getting killed there anyways and they can't score on the other end.

    Pitiful effort so far. I'm going back and forth between being pissed and just bored because we are playing with no intensity.

    Ok silver lining time. If we can win this game, overcoming 17 point lead, lakers are toast

    On the plus side, they always start off the 3rd quarter strong...

    3-15 from 3s and overall 34% fg ain't gonna cut it.

    I bet we don’t win another game again in this series

    Blazers shooting 35% FG, and 20% from 3. I don’t think it’s because of any spectacular D by the Lakers. Blazers are simply just missing shots.

    Blazers will turn it up a notch in the second half and make a game of it. We’ve got Dame!

    there is zero indication that we are even remotely interested in putting the effort required to do that tonight.
