    The Lakers offense is shitty. Even with all those free throws. Blazers should get the officiating tilt in the second half.

    We HAVE to attack more. How many times can we say we’ve been fouled on shot attempts? Not many...

    Yeesh. What a weird half.

    We need better situational awareness. But I think we have to play better in the second half, right?

    Nice shot CJ and good set up by Simons. But still a lot mistakes closing out the quarters.

    This is beyond frustrating. We are winning but hard to see how we have guys not fouled out by the fourth.

    OK, I was watching my Indians beat Detroit, not time to post and watch Blazers. Good shooting CJ! Loved seeing that it looks like it is our strategy to bump into Davis every chance we get. I wish Simons could hit a shot. I wish that Hezonja's skills matched his ambitions. Maybe put someone else on James besides Trent and start looking for a way to get Trent some shots.

    Even if they don't, we're going to have to play so cautious, which will hurt our defense. You're right, so frustrating!

    he probably bitching about Lillard's 3 turnovers....but anybody who didn't expect Dame to have some ball-handling issues with a dislocated finger and a splint doesn't know BB

    CJ 20 points, Dame 19 points the rest of the team 18 points. Need to start passing the ball and get some other guys involved. Nurk needs more than 2 shots in a half. Trent need more than 3 shots in a half.

    Seriously though, the L*kers are fouling themselves. How bad do you have to be to not see that.

    He's on pace for 38 points on 55% shooting. I'll give him a pass on a few TOs while having a busted up hand.
    I understand you are stretching big time to find something negative to post about, but we are up 4 to the #1 team in the west. Try enjoying it.....or you can wait til we give up the lead and lose and you can post 8 times how "you told us!"

    Playing Lakers is like trying to win against Russian interference, voter suppression, destruction of post office, corrupt justice department, and pandemic.

    But good can still triumph over evil.

    I never ever respond to this guy but I'm still baffled that people do. It's a shtick, do people really think they're gonna change his tune?
