    It's just incredible how the Lakers never foul.

    I could have sworn at least twice in the bubble the Blazers were called for illegal screens under the basket on layups that were nothing when JaVale McGhee and Anthony Davis did the same thing to clear out for LeBron this game.

    CJ keeps getting ridden with the body and it's nothing. Someone swipes at a Laker and the wind the create is cause for a foul.

    Is McCollum wearing a headband to honor Cliff Robinson?

    Well, Melo will have more offers!
    The bubble has been good and it’s encouraging that Nurk has stayed healthy and played decent.
    Trent is going to be better next year too.

    end to the bubble regular season and that run in january was literally the single best individual stretch of games ive EVER seen from a blazer. Dame showed that he's capable of increasing his ceiling even more. that was fun in and of itself.

    And I'd much rather be watching this than the news right now.

    There's something weird about 3rd quarters and this team.

    We can't win with just one guy. We need a Hoard!

    I like how Danny Green was clearly holding Hoard, and acted surprised he got a foul called.

    I was thinking the same. You can't touch them. Which referee called the foul on Nurkic after the other ref called it on Whiteside, causing Stotts to waste an appeal because everyone thought it was on Nurkic? The call on Nurkic was from a Laker fan ref who kneejerk assumes Lakers are always right.

    If we could skip the third quarter the Blazers would be championship contenders

    Why is Mario playing?
    Why can't Nurk shoot?
    No Gabriel?

    Sometimes Nurk like casually does shit to try and act showy and it’s a disaster. Bro I love you but make the game more simple and precise
