    We're going to fuck these guys up!!! And just in case some other person that posts in this thread is ambiguous about who WE are despite the fact that he works for our team... we are the Portland Trail Blazers and we are going to fuck up the LA Lakers.

    defense will be the key in this one, defend the paint and force them to shoot 3-pointers

    they have lebron and davis who can score a lot, but generally speaking, we have better weapons offensively

    No, because Davis is out.

    Edit: apparently not as injured as I heard

    This has me a bit concerned.

    road game. Lakers will be desperate for a win. We need to play smart. Lakers will come out swinging. I heard AD got hurt. Will he be playing?

    I hope we don't walk in to LA overconfident.
    With that said.

    Blazers 2-0
    Fakers 0-2

    Suck it Lakers!!!!!!! MmmiuuaaaahhhahahHahahahhaha!

    Seriosuly. Overconfidence can lead to stray behavior.
    Keep the heads down, focused, glass of warm milk and lights out by 10, if im the coach!!!

    davis is a nightmare matchup for nurk (mid range jumpers & 3-pointers), weve seen it in the pelicans & lakers series in the playoffs

    but davis dont like to bang down low, so we can force feed nurk on the block if he gets it going

    No AD?
    Seems like we catch a lot of teams without a star player. Or is it just me?

    It will be interesting to see how this game goes? We all know there is no love loss between Russ and Dame.
    Loved seeing Nurkic active and engaged. I'm hoping Billups has the key to dealing with Nurks ups and downs?
    Simons must feel a bit of a boost after Dame calling on him to end that game vs the Suns.

    Blazers can get this win if they continue to play tough.

    They hear portland is coming up and they are like “don’t they have that guy who fought Westbrook at a subway restaurant?”
