Game Thread GAME# 1: LAKERS @ BLAZERS - OCTOBER 18, 2018 - THURSDAY, 7:30 (PDT), TNT

Why is that crazy? It's fairly obvious.

 

Here's the thing:

The Blazers are allowed to play both Collins and Nurk together!

I'm not sure why it has to be one or the other.

 

If you did a poll, I bet it would be a dead heat.

 

Is that King Speed?

 

I didn't say it had to be one or the other. I was just complimenting Collins, who a few posters have actually suggested should lose minutes to Leonard.

 

Dear Marc J. Spears,

Did you even watch the game? When the options are:

a) Force up a contested 2
b) Kick it out to a wide open teammate at the 3-point line

Option b) is always the correct answer in today's NBA and that's exactly how 7'1" Meyers Leonard had 4 assists, resulting in 12 points for his team, in less than 8 minutes of playing time.

Learn the game, then tweet.

Sincerely,
Eric @KingSpeed Milligan.

You seem to have an unnatural fanboi obsession for flashy point guards who can't shoot.

Right now, Rajon Rondo is better than Lonzo Ball, Westbrick isn't even playing, and somewhere Kendall Marshall is feeling really left out.

As my dad always said... "The masses are asses".
Most people people don't know how the hell to analytically and to think for themselves. Especially in the echo chamber social media we have now days.
Just because the majority of people vote one way on a poll, doesn't mean they are right.

 

Male models everywhere are offended!

 

They shouldn't be. I think what HCP is saying is that he likes taking good looks at male models.

 

16/9 in 17 minutes. If that's bad Nurk well i'm feeling good

 

All he needs to do is learn to dunk. Otherwise I don't have any complaints about him.

 

<--- Peep the new avatar to honor our bench squad.

 

The Lakers will be fine. Give them 15 games to get their shit together and then they will go on a run. We will be better though. I really like our team.

 

In the ever changing NBA you may be right. Against teams like Houston, GS and N.O.... I can definitely see Collins finishing games at center.

And like the PF spot where we need both a Collins and Aminu option, depending on the opposition, at center I think we also need the versatility of a Nurk/Collins duo. And yes at times they can play together because of it.

 

Just got this text from a buddy of mine. Had to share. Made my morning
——————-
Just a quick reminder that no matter how this season goes, the Blazers have won 18 straight season home openers, beaten the fuck face Lakers 16 times in a row and ruined LeBron’s debut with L.A. in front of a national audience, tv network, commentators , commissioner & referees that were doing their best to tongue his balls.

 

Great way to start off the season!
