Game Thread 2022-23 Game #57 - BLAZERS VS LAKERS - FEBRUARY 13, 2023 - MONDAY - 7:00 PM (PDT) ROOT

is Mo Bamba still suspended after getting his ass kicked by Austin Rivers?

 

I just heard Grant is back on concussion protocol.
So this whole thing with Payton has them running scared.

 

What's this Kevin Knox stuff? Didn't we get GPII back? <<running away quickly>>

I hope we have Thybulle for this game. I'm excited to see him do what we paid Payton to do and couldn't be bothered.

 

That's a pretty big jump. Grant was in the protocol and then last game he took a pretty hard hit to the head that put him down. He left the game for a while and then came back. If he has a headache now, then he gets put back in the protocol.

All of this shit from the Warriors is hearsay until we see something in writing and until they send us medical reports about why Gary failed the physical. I think they'll just put the trade through tomorrow and leave us looking a certain way. If our team had their shit together which we all know they don't, they would talk about how this potentially hurts our reputation without any evidence.

Either we really fucked up and I want to know about that by seeing concrete evidence or the Warriors are completely dragging us and should be held responsible.

 

Not really.

 

Huge game for US!
Now WE play our hated rivals!
OUR boys are still trying to get used to eachother after the trades!

 

6:30 this evening is the deadline for the trade to be accepted or rejected.

The Lakers have even more new faces than we do.

Rui, Bamba, Vando, Beasley and Russell. That is quite a bit of needed talent that roster lacked.

 

I see what you did there. Such a homer.

 

One thing you have to admit. With Grant and Reddish and with Thybulle and Sharpe plus Watford off the bench the Blazers did improve their defense and they are longer.
At some point Nurk and Winslow should be back. Thinking Winslow will be after the break as well.
The Blazers defense should get better. Just watched the Lakers vs Warriors. AD is playing really well. Lebron sat out but we all know he loves to come in and torch the Blazers.
Not sure the Blazers have the team to beat the Lakers at this point? Vanderbilt and Russell gave them a pretty big lift.

 

Grant in concussion protocol, and didn't Ant leave late in the Thunder game? Did anyone hear if there was a reason for that?

 

And that kids, is how you know The HCP is a Blazers fan. Unfortunately, the Lakers don't care much about the Blazers to think of them as hated rivals.

 

Billups cleared the bench with 1 minute left.

 

Grant*

 

Who?

 

I was fake trolling.
