Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 1: BLAZERS @ LAKERS - AUGUST 18, 2020, TUESDAY, 6:00, TNT & NBCSNW

Did Green and Caldwell-Pope wear masks last night cause I don't remember seeing them out on the floor.

#badaboom!

 

Lakers lost because we killed them with the 3 point shot. Look at their 3pt stats/percentage versus ours, game.

 

It's well documented that Eck's career that had started off so incredibly well as a starter had been derailed due to alcoholism. He had been completely out of the majors for three years and had just finished a year of treatment. He may be a different type of situation than Wenyen... a proven commodity out of the game for off the field reasons.

 

Sir Charles never gives up on us. I've always loved that. I wonder if he's such a supporter because he almost became a Blazer and really wanted to play for the team?

 

They stayed in that game only because of offensive rebounding and our sloppiness with the ball on offense. We weren't rebounding the way we will, I'm sure of that. They also weren't causing the majority of those "steals" we were being lazy and sloppy, I'm also sure we'll take care of the ball together. One other thing that I'm sure of is while they'll never shoot the ball very well from three, especially because we are so good at stopping the inside game and they set up all of their outside shooting from the inside game, they will shoot it much better from outside than they did in game one. I expect both teams to play better but our room to be better is bigger in my opinion.

 

Chuck used to kill us all the time. The only reason he's so cool with us now is that we have an inside presence with Nurk. He used to say that we wouldn't beat anybody until we could get easy baskets in the paint, so he's a fan of this iteration of the Blazers, not a Blazers fan.

 

which means he's the first player with 20-15-15

exactly right....he dissed the Dame/Aldridge teams a lot

 

Or maybe like he's coming back after almost a year out with an upper body injury. The guy is still shaking off rust. His play didn't look like he was dealing with an ankle it looked like he wasn't used to holding onto and catching a ball.

 

For about 6-7 years he dissed teams that shot a bunch of threes saying they live and die by the jumpshot. He hated the Warriors too.

Now he's dissing the only team that can't shoot threes.

 

Makes sense.

 

POST OF THE THREAD NOMINEE

 

WHO are those votes @SlyPokerDog ???

 

Nah, there are a few that just fucking crack me up. “The Lakers suck”, “So in so on the other team is amazing.....why didn’t we draft them!” Then disappear EVERY TIME WE COMNE BACK TO WIN! Crickets.

 

Huh?

 

Ha! Nice try FAMS......THE HCP said Blazers in 6!

 

I think I accidentally quoted you.

 

I do this on purpose every time dame stinks to reverse the curse. I kept saying “ Dame save us please wake up Dame” and it worked out. I also said same shit when In Game 4 vs OKC and Dame droped 25 in 3rd quater))

 

So if in the end the next time we read something like this you won't be back on here quoting your own post and telling people you told them so if they end up losing? You will be saying "Darn it! My reverse jinx didn't work this time. Dame will come back next time, just you wait and see."
I'm so glad we have this cleared up.

 

I just learned watching a replay of inside the nba that Nurk had a double double during the first quarter. Maybe if Chris Webber wasn't so busy slurping the lakers balls he could have informed me of that during the game
