    Surprisingly it was a no call that ended in a Dame 3.

    My company sponsors the Lakers and I could have had virtual fan tickets for game 2. I missed the deadline to grab them though. DOH.

    If you had attended virtually, are you allowed to wear Blazer gear?

    Give credit to Gabriel. He checked AD and was not afraid. His length affected a couple of AD’s shots.

    Pretty sure I would have to wear Lakers gear, but I'd just casually wear my Dame jersey over it.

    Start with a shitty Lakers shirt. Tear it off during the 1st quarter to reveal a Dame Time shirt.

    Once the refs give Wenyen some respect he’s gonna be a dynamic defender. Can guard inside and out. Great instincts, good hands, length, grit.

    I'm thankful we had Wenyen on the roster tonight and I'm not going to bash him one bit. Having said that, the people acting like he would come in and be better than Collins should give Zach a little more credit. I'd like to have everyone healthy!

    I agree, he gave great effort. If only we held Collins to the same standard.

    It makes sense now! I was really curious what prompted him to do that. That song is such a banger too.

    you mean hold Collins, who has played 174 games after being a 10th pick, to the standards of an undrafted player who has played 30 and was playing in his first playoff game?

    I freakin' hate chris weber...Dumbest commentator ever....Makes Booger McFarland sound like a Rhoades Scholar..
    With 3 mins to go, 4th qtr., I decided I had enough of that idiot and switched over to the local broadcast....
    What I had forgotten was, I had paused the game for a few minutes to check on my salmon, so when I switched over, there was only 12 seconds left...
    I missed the crucial stage where the Blazers put the game away.
    Stupid me.
    Stupid webber.
