    With all the playing time Simons has got this year he still didn’t get invited to the rising stars game. That’s how you know how bad he’s been this year. Garbage

    Or...maybe there were just 5 other American 1st- or 2nd-year guards who were better than him. Is it really an indictment on Simons that he's not ahead of Trae Young, Ja Morant, Devonté Graham, Tyler Herro, and Kendrick Nunn? All but Herro start for their respective teams, all play more minutes than Simons, and all have larger national profiles.

    I haven't watched the Lakers since LeBron joined the team. I haven't watched LeBron since he abandoned the Heat to go back to the Cavaliers, the first team that he abandoned.

    After Kobe's death, I may just watch the game tonight. But I make no promises.

    I'd guess Trent at 3 and Ariza at 4.

    2007 Blazers at Lakers is on NBA TV right now. I guess Kobe scores 24 pts in the 4th for a total of 65 and they beat us in OT.

    DAN DICKAU ALERT

    p.s. how did we watch TV before HD?

    I chose 82 points for Lillard and the loss. That would be remembered forever. A win in this game, even making the playoffs by 1 game this season, would soon be forgotten (unless we won the title, but I'm not considering that).

    Could you imagine the excitement you would feel watching Lillard pour in 82...I would lose it.

    Man the matchups in this are not good if Melo is out. I don’t see who’s gonna guard AD. Stotts ain’t gonna give him a chance but Wenyens length would help.

    Bummer that Melo's not playing. I actually think we can win this game. Missing Melo makes it harder though.

    Can’t wait for the game... who cares who wins this game. It’s all about Kobe. Love him or hate him. We should all appreciate what he brought to the game. RIP Kobe and thank you.

    We desperately need any win we can get. Neither Memphis nor San Antonio will give up to tank any time soon. Can't get separated from the pack.

    Every Blazers fan should care if they want to make the playoffs. And the best way to show appreciation for Kobe is to give maximum effort... because Kobe wouldn’t have it any other way.
