I'm serious...I have yet to see a Chandler screen that isn't illegal.

This is going to be a tough 4th quarter it seems like every Laker is hitting everything they are throwing at the rim. The bench will have to step up big and try to get this to a 2-3 point game.

he certainly was moving into Aminu on Lebron's drive

Well the Warriors get away with moving screens on nearly every possession, so Chandler I guess is like **** I might as well do it also/

Ha! Me too, but sometimes, you just have to give props to a great performance by an opponent. The Lakers as a team are playing quite well, as much as it pains me to say it.

Part of why they look so good is LBJ is in can't miss mode, I mean **** when Lillard looks like this we look like an incredible team. I think his play also fires up the rest of the team, so it has even more impact get a case of contagious **** shooting and rallying the team to play harder defensively.

I'm so tired of Leonard. He has small moments, but he's still just bad. He's not overly useful on any side of the ball. I think we could basically bring in a Leonard for the vet min.

Wow...bench execution on both ends probably lost this game to begin the 4th.

Blazers look spooked and unconfident.

Portland is the only playoff team from last season that the Lakers have beat this season.

It is weird getting home announcers on a nationally televised game, I can't recall seeing this I mean usually these networks send out their own guys.

monopoman · Post #54 » by **monopoman** » Thu Nov 15, 2018 5:39 am

Yeah their 3 point shooters can't miss feels like Pope and LBJ are unstoppable offensively.

Like I get the loss, but I don't get the "game so out of hand they can sit LeBron in the 4th" loss. Especially after the first ~20 minutes.

zzaj · Post #56 » by **zzaj** » Thu Nov 15, 2018 5:42 am

Lake show shooting with confidence and hitting because of it. One of the worst perimeter shooting teams beating the Blazers at their own game...

Combination of Portland going cold, LBJ being stupidly hot and then some decent defensive plays at time to keep Portland from drawing closer. LA might just be a bad matchup for us, it seems like McGee does a very good job with Nurkic and that limits our team somewhat. If they start hitting everything offensively then it makes it even worse.

And James in. Smoking a cigar. Pointing a baseball bat Casey Jones style.

We just aren't hitting our shots.

Is Mark Jackson's co-broadcaster legitimately trying to suggest that Layman wasn't making a play on the ball, thus suggesting it was a nefarious swing.
