    Ugh. These f*ckers again?!?

    Douchebag L*kers snapped our 16-win streak against them earlier this month, so I guess we'll have to start a new streak here.

    And the last time the Blazers played the Lakers on ESPN, it was the Summer League Championship game. Hopefully, the end result will be the same.

    It feels like the league is trying to use the Blazers as much as possible in their presenting the Lakers as a playoff contender. Every single article I read about them, it's "Now they have real rotations because Chandler is the missing piece!" or "Lonzo making this hard pass look so simple to Lebron." At first I didn't mind it but now it's annoying and I am sick of the whole fabricated show.

    As much as it grinds my gears to admit it, the Lakers are showing improvement and are not the train wreck we were all hoping for.

    What team that has had Lebron isn't an automatic playoff contender? No one was disputing that..... but at 7-6, what do they want a cookie? Yet we are 10-3 and people were treating us like absolute shit before the season started. Maybe we deserve respect a little more than the poor Lakers.... hmm.

    Gotta get revenge. Make their fans leave by the start of the 4th quarter to go become Warriors fans for the day.

    I wish the Lakers were 5-6 but they are now 7-6 and showing signs of life. Need this game to get off to a good start on the roadie...and also for some good old-fashioned revenge.

    Love the poll, but this one has to be a runaway with the Fakers and the Floppets, doesn't it?

    Them again? The nba did really want to get this rivalry going for all it was worth. I bet there will be some trickery to line us up in the playoffs...

    They beat Atlanta (a team that is tanking from Day 1 if I've ever seen one) by one point last night. Improvement my ass. Don't hand them a win like we did last weekend, and we're good.

    Never understood this mentality. I'll take an UGLY, BAD win over GOOD loss anyway. Second week of April, trust me, only thing that counts is the W.

    There is no such animal as a "good" loss or a "bad" win. The standings don't have a column for style points!
