I thought prayers are for when you don't have a chance.

This team is just unbearable to watch with so many stupid mistakes and literally zero defense. Glad I don't have to pay money to watch this sh*tball on a constant basis.

Portland has been hanging around and might have one more run in them but the Lakers are just 7-8 points better

Well as they said Lakers are undefeated against teams below .500 they struggle a lot more with good teams.

Why was that bucket and and-1 opportunity for Damian taken away?

Continuation is not a thing anymore, Lakers challenged

Portland just can't beat good teams. They are about to fall to 3-13 against teams .500 or better.

KCP seems like he has been in the doghouse with Laker fans, but he has been big for the Lakers tonight.

that's even deceptive because 2 of those wins came against OKC which is only 1 game above .500. Take OKC out of the sample and Blazers are 1-12 against teams with winning records and have lost 11 in a row

Just too much size and length, especially with Skal going down for with Rondo, KCP, Lebron, Kuzma and AD, Portland just can’t match physically with them

Least surprising L of all time. Hope Zach and Jusuf have safe recoveries

I disagree. While I would love Lillard to get 60 and the Blazers win I believe if we get a 30+pt game from Lillard, a 25+pt game from McCollum , a 15-20 pt games each from Hassan and Anfernee and solid games from Bazemore , Anthony and Tolliver we stand a real good chance of victory

Has that happened even one time this season?

So tired of watching CJ end up on the floor trying to dribble circles around the other playing. He's done that a number of times now.

I'm also tired of the Blazers players getting hurt. They need to sign someone or a couple of someone's. You cant have 25% of your team in street clothes.

Came close tonight. Dame had 31 and Hassan had 19. Anfernee finished with 14(missed by 1pt) CJ had 18( missed by 7 admittedly). Tolliver was quite solid shooting 4-5fg all shots were 3's) to finish with 12pts 3 reb. Anthony did poorly with 5-14. Baze was 3-8 Slightly better games by CJ, Baze and Anthony and Portland does win this game. Also if Skal had not been injured that might have made a difference as well. It's not like Portland was blown out. Portland problems continue to be injuries. A healthy Portland would be a team that not a lot of teams would want to play in the playoffs. Of course that assumes they can get healthy. At worst I am hoping Portland retains their current roster, has good health, adds a late lotto pick and a free agent with the MLE. That could be a talented and deep team

Schedule gets easier over the next games, so at least there's that.

Losing skal stinks, I think he was more important for this team than whiteside
