The score doesn't show it but we are getting crushed. Lakers are dominating the paint.

It's super early but I'm really liking what I see from Gabriel. Moves well and making the right passes. Intriguing prospect

This isn't good. Nothing should be more important than winning this game.


Come on man... Kobe, like him or not was Melo's close friend... I don't think we should be throwing shade at him for mourning a friend.

Blazers are playing them tough so far... Ref's really letting the Lakers be physical with the Blazers... let's hope that only lasts the first half and then they decide to call a basketball game in the second half.

Kobe is in the next life laughing at him for being a pussy.

If there's any question, this kind of post is not acceptable.

He may end up being worth at one of those seconds we sent out all by himself

Gabriel is one those guys who will need a lot of time but is in a group with Hoard, Little, Brown,
Simons. The problem is how many of these guys can a team keep?

I can't even actually watch the game. But looking at the box score, Dame is just too good. He's been basically superhuman recently.

Hoard and Brown aren't even on the 15 man roster.

Edit: Hoard must be close to the maximum number of games he can play with all the injuries.

Why even take Dame out. I get he needs rest, and his shoulders must be sore from carrying the team. But with how he's playing, it's pretty much leave him in and let him go crazy.

Why was all that body contact by Davis on Lillard not a foul?

Hezonja is just not effective for the Blazers for the most part.
