Lakers have a strong history of not playing well in the rose garden.

Will be fun to watch melo vs LeBron for one of the last times ever
USA Celtics in full effect. Amazing chemistry building experience right there for the main core of the team


Proceeds to finish 7th and shames the entire nation!

Nothing fun about Melo..... This has been a hard building for us in the past but this is a new team and we don't seem phased by the venue so far this year. if the energy is there we saw in Utah then we will be fine. I think the cross matchups will be important. Their starting guards are both quick and can score from anywhere. How we transition with them will be a key.

I guess they are counting on Whiteside single handedly protecting the paint?

I expect McGee/AD/LeBron to punish that lineup inside.

Carmelo is soft as charmin on D.

Lakers are doing a damn good job of impersonating the Blazers on defense.

Blazer coach put in Tolliver so AD cant protect the rim. Problem is Tolliver has to guard AD lol.

EDIT: nvm he's the only big on the portland bench left lol.
