Series Thread: 1st Round: LA Lakers vs Portland Trailblazers

[Shanemansj13]

37-11 in free throws. The inevitable fix is in.

Portland has been in foul trouble the entire series

 

[Muncie2]

Anthony is just horrible. Without him on the team the blazers would have had a chance in this series.

 

[Shanemansj13]

17 TO’s and 15 FT’s but 2 superstars >>> 1

 

[Shanemansj13]

Wow what a defensive possession there

 

[True Lakers Fan]

NBA needs to work on making it a little less obvious

They are called adjustments .. After losing game one, The Lakers made them. After losing gane 2, Portland did not step up, That's the reason 8th seeded teams lose

Much better second half. Davis quit playing so soft. Team defense had tons more energy and really clamped down on Dame and CJ. Lebron doing Lebron James type things. Add it up and it equals a W

 

[Shanemansj13]

Defense was much better in the 2nd half for sure

Shooting 32 FTs in a half is because of adjustments? Sure thing.

Lakers played championship basketball in the 2nd half. Refs kept them in it for the first half

it’s never great but the quality inside the bubble has been brutal

Couldn't agree more. Been a joke from day 1

The Lakers were attacking the basket because they can't shoot 3's and the Blazers were shooting from the perimeter because they can.

That's the difference in free throw attempts.

Is Kyle Kuzma good?

Did they carve the cow right at your table and place it on your plate?

 

[bksballer89]

Mario Hezonja is so ass. Can't believe this dude was a top 5 pick a few years ago.

To an extent, sure. 31 FTs in a half? Stop, that’s a lot for a game

Bullshit..A good team adjusts their game according to how the refs are calling the game. Blaming the refs is an old old strategy used by losers

Then Blazers need to quit fouling as much and play basketball instead
