LeBron only has 10 points, the Lakers' second leading scorer this game is KCP and they're up on the Blazers by 30. lolwut. Portland actually showing their 8th seed potential.
Lillard just went out with perhaps a broken hand. Everyone here was wanting the Lakers you might just get your “easy” series yet.
And he keeps the room at 55 when he’s gone and 60 when he’s there. I keep my house at 65 when I sleep. 60 is pretty damn cool for a room temp and in the Florida summer I’m sure it’s running 90% of the time.
blazers are done if they dont speed up the tempo. lakers will suffocate them in a pure half court game. might be time to try small ball
Blazers have to be run down. They have been playing essentially at playoff intensity the entire time they have been in the bubble. I think it caught up with them tonight. We will see a better effort in game 3 and 4.
Ya i thought i heard one of the lakers bench players say something like "So what yall guys problem, yall cooked??" Like got so hot your done haha. Funny in terms of there team name i think.
I remember when the Heat won their first championship with Wade, Shaq had a momentary hard time giving the Finals MVP trophy to Wade. He wasn't even supposed to touch it first. Wonder if this will happen if Davis wins the Finals MVP over LeBron cause the Lakers are currently at their best when Davis is their best player. We gotta hope LeBron starts fiending for attention and tries to pad some stats in the next round and minimizes Davis in the process. Going to be tough to beat them when Davis plays like he did last night. They're a really good team with narrative and refs going for them, already nervous wanting the series to start already.
tough loss for portland. his minutes in the frontcourt and balance w/ nurkic and whiteside is missed big time
I’m just waiting for GM LeBron to publicly trash Davis after a game. He is playing so soft getting pushed around by Melo like a bum.
