I don’t want to jinx it but I think this might be a blowout win for us. They have no shooting and our defense is really clicking.

This team is so unbalanced. Eubanks should be either a 3rd or 4th NBA big man option, but he's the 2nd string centre for this team.

And that's with Nurkic as our starting centre who isn't giving me much confidence (despite a good game against Phoenix).

What a clown show. Lillard's ego ball is so irritating. Pass the ball out to the open 3 point shooter for chrissakes

This is a dysfunctional game to watch.

Westbrook is bricking big-time and Portland are giving up gimme-shots. Ant can't hit anything and Nurkic is really adding questions as to why on earth we gave him that deal.

Our offense is the same your turn, my turn crap we had under Stotts. You'd think we, and every other team in the NBA, would look at Golden State and have more complex actions with multiple screens and something happening off-ball besides guys standing around watching a pick-and-roll

So many turnovers, sloppy play, no one wants to shoot, no hustle. Very frustrating. This should be an easy win. Why has Simons played like garbage all season?

I'm disgusted with the effort against a trash Lakers team. Why was Lillard out so long? For the people that wanted to trade Dame and give the team to Simons, how you feeling now?

Some y'all so negative. Good win! Lakers are a good defensive team. Didn't expect us to start 3-0. I'll take it.

Why the hell does Billups keep putting Nurk on the floor in the key defensive possessions? He gets exploited easily as one of the weakest links defensively, possibly even a weakest personal defender if we don't mention a guy named "Anfernee"

We tried to give that game away. Lillard continues to be the greatest Blazer ever, wouldn't quit when everyone else looked like they were done. 3-0!!

Friggin Dame carrying the franchise. What a player.

Once GPII is back...possibly Simons to the bench for some fireworks?

What is the deal with Nurk?

Does he not actively look to get going on the offensive side? Been saying it for a few years...Portland needs to run the offense through him in a similar (not the exact) style that the Nuggets do with Jokic.
