    It's definitely a sign that Olshey was a fucking idiot for not filling this roster before the bubble. We could have had two more players on this roster, probably good veterans who have played in the league and had played a lot lately in Europe or young D-Leaguers who we could be looking at for min spots next season. No fucking clue why we wouldn't use those roster spots.

    Not that I expected them to win, but I sure didn't expect them to get their ass beat so bad.

    Gotta win game 3 or it's over.

    To a #1 seed to boot... I'd bet anything the series was 0-2!

    Why is this worse? Getting beat by 40 in an elimination game vs 30 in a series you're leading.

    that's just so unlucky man. the chances of dame out of all people dislocating his finger in a blowout right before he was about to be taken out the game. Just sucks

    Thank you!! They’ve locked us up since that 1st quarter of game 1.. we won’t win another game..

    Their defense is top 5 for a reason. Feast or famine offenses don’t work in the playoffs

    in the olshey era, Portland has had some really bad benches

    I still can't believe he thought Bazemore, Tolliver, & Hezonja were good additions last summer, especially considering Portland lost Aminu, Harkless, Curry, Layman, Turner, and Meyers

    If game two would have been hard fought and a competitive loss I would absolutely agree with you. But the way they were completely destroyed tells me the Blazers are done.
    I doubt they will win another game.
    Just the way I see it. Love my Blazers and of course I’m pulling for them but this Lakers team is way too much for the Blazers.

    Sadly, game 1 was clearly a wakeup call for the Lakers. I'm not sure game 2 was the same for Portland. It might have been the straw that broke the camels back.

    I think 4-1 is very possible. That was my prediction to start the series just based of talent/injuries. What was your prediction prior to the series?

    Would it be legal for us to give a Euro club enough money so they could offer Hezonja enough that he would decline his option with us?

    No predictions for me. I take it one game at a time.

    It’s the way they were dominated by the entire Laker team. LeBron didn’t even have to work hard to win this.
