    Lmao that's ironic. I've been watching the Blazers this year and they've gotten so lucky with other teams missing key players for their game. Just in the past week or so they had the Spurs bench everyone in the game @ Portland, then they had Parker and Lenoard out for the game in San Antonio..Then they had the Bucks missing Parker and one of their other good players (that dude with the long name) got hurt before the half. Also the Bulls game earlier this year where Rose and Gasol were out, Durant was out in the 1st game vs. OKC and is probably out again tomorrow, Blazers have gotten plenty of breaks this year tbh.

    Brewer was a good pick up for Houston by the way, another solid player off the bench.

    I like how you make it seem all these players are out only against the Blazers :'(
    Jabari's been out, Durants been out, Rose is always out, and Pop sits dudes every night.
    other teams have had the same opportunities and havent capitalized.
    Youve just noticed it more because youre "watching the Blazers"
    ....which Im very proud of you for :emoji_thumbsup: To know the lakers are such s---, that you now watch the Blazers for quality basketball, brings a tear to my eye.

    Not totally true, the 1st game Parker missed was the Blazers game. Durant's played about half the games, Rose has played about half and Gasol has barely missed a game other than Portland, Pop's only sat guys a few games so far I think. I dunno man, I even heard one of the Blazers announcers mention how they've been getting lucky with certain players out and/or catching teams at a good time.

    But yeah the Blazers play better ball than the Lakers this year, certainly can't deny that lol. I'm even tempted to say I enjoyed watching last year's Lakers more than this year's team, as sad as that is to say.

    Vareajo and Love both got hurt. Cavs gonna be in some trouble if they're both out a while, didn't see either injury but apparently both looked at least kinda serious. Hand injury for Love(same hand he injured before), not sure what Vareajo's injury was.

    Blazers down 10 with 90 seconds left in OKC, come back to send it to overtime and win, thanks to some clutch Lillard shooting and some beautiful mistakes by Russell Westbrook. Go 3-1 on the road trip

    Dame is incredible, but why does Portland ALWAYS insist on falling way behind at some point during the game? It's like they enjoy making things as tough as possible lol, they've done this at least 10 games I've seen this year.

    Anyways, Lakers playing great against the Warriors without Kobe. Like I've been saying, this team is seriously so much better without Kobe right now. Young and Wes looking good, Ed Davis too, even Clarkson got in the game.

    They've had 2 occasions tonight where they've made 9 straight FGs, they have 16 assists and there's still 2 mins left in the 1st half. d---.

    Lakers still shi--ing on the Warriors after 3, 6 players are in double figures.

    Hope Kobe 'rests' for a little longer tbh, and when he returns he has to change his style of play other wise he's very selfish..

    Back on the tank wagon, Celtics put up 9 in the 1st quarter against Orlando yesterday lol. They did almost come back and win but still Orlando is Orlando. Tyler Zeller has looked real good for us though, he could be pretty sought after at the deadline although i think id rather keep him since he is signed through next season. Jeff Green and Brandon Bass will almost certainly be gone though.
