Should be an interesting game. Hopefully ayton tries to do too much and costs them the game

Cedric coward is destroying teams, dang I wish we could have that pick back.

[zzaj]

Apparently no Lebron or Doncic. Reaves had 51/11/9 in almost 40 minutes last night. I'm sure he's going to have a circle on his back.

Ayton with 22/15. I'm sure he'll be hyped to chuck shots and be engaged. Will be interesting to see how Clingan plays him.

Blazers need to make the Fakeshow play defense tonight. If they do and they aren't ice cold like the last game, they stand a chance of winning.

Id be shocked if Reaves gets north of 30 on jrue/toumani, probably more like 25 pts with tons of attempts.

Didnt realize everyone is out. Obviously those can be trap games but im hopeful as we should be the better team tonight not to mention ayton as one of their main go to's is bound to be a gaping black hole.

[Walton1one]

No reason that this should not be a win tonight

He is a Laker. He will probably get 20 fts.

[Sinobas]

Did some rules change regarding screens? I keep seeing the screener move and bump our our guy then they call a foul on us.

[Walton1one]

Nice block by DC, transition 3 by Sharpe, brick, then has a nice move to the basket and draws a foul, that’s what he needs to be doing more

POR looks a little sluggish to start the game

So far the only blazer that has shown up is Avdija

Camara is also struggling from the 3pt line to start the season (33.3%)

I’ve never been that big of a believer in Reaves, but he’s looked really good tonight

That was a good move by Knecht there, just could not finish. He is just really struggling. I think he needs a new start somewhere else.

There is the Ayton we all know, whining about a call while everybody else is running down the floor, although he is abusing Yang pretty badly

Yang got a bail out on a wild attempt there

Oh no, Caleb Love sighting, yikes

What has been apparent these first couple games is Sharpe’s loose handle, very rough. He’s had a lot of turnovers based on sloppy ball control

Nice tip by DC, and follows it up with a nice dunk off of a 2-man game with Holiday

What the heck was that Love? Why is that guy even in the game?

Does Tiago not believe in Time outs? The team is playing like ass, they should be dominating this squad.

[Sinobas]

Is Jrue hurt?

[Walton1one]

He’s old, they’re probably trying to get him some rest. You can’t keep playing the dude 30+ minutes every night. He’s on the floor now.

It's a back to back, cant blame the team for looking slow.

[Walton1one]

LAL sure has a lot of mid players, other than Reaves

What a weird turnover by Avdija, then LAL scores, and POR turns it over again on the inbounds? Lucky that Lakers couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn (0-7 3pt) other than Reaves.

Really sloppy game by both teams, LAL at least has somewhat of an excuse

Yang has got a 2nd rotation & immediately gives up a shot to Ayton and is too slow to rotate

Sure Hurd, Yang is just tired, lol…or…He is just getting worked on both ends. Ayton would be an All-Star if he got to play against Yang every night.

Good move Splitter, time to bring DC back.

That was a good backdoor pass by DC, Avdija couldn’t collect it and finish though

Ayton totally wanted to take it at DC there, good defense to force a bad shot, then he grabs a rebound over Ayton on the other end and scores. Nice sequence of events by DC, then gets a steal on a bad pass by James Jr

Yes, Camara was selling that, that was not a foul by Rui

Nasty dunk by Sharpe

Bad attempt by Grant there trying to take it up b/t two guys, and then fouls Reaves on a 3pt shot on the other end

Grant is just throwing himself at the basket, got bailed out on a foul call there, that is not a strategy that will pay off consistently

I’ve seen enough of Rui, all he can do is hit an occasional 3pt shot, just provides nothing else when he’s out there

Reaves is going to go for 40 tonight, because there is literally no one else on LAL that can score

[Sinobas]

So far, it doesn't look like this team could afford to trade Grant. They really struggle in the half court.

[Walton1one]

They 100% can afford to trade him. In fact I hope he keeps balling out like this for a little while so they can actually be able TO trade him because his contract is so toxic.

11 so far, good call!

Yes please
