I'm a gambling jinx. If I bet on any team to win it all they're doom.

Spoiler

I bet $420 on the Lakers.

9 fouls to 11

Not that crazy

Dwight complains about every single foul. Doesn't matter how obvious it is

 

[bksballer89]

Can't blame the Blazers for the frustrations.

Lakers getting every little call (mainly AD) so Blazers have the right to be frustrated when they play aggressive and don't get a call

People who say shit like that either have zero understanding of the game or are frustrated their team is losing.

I edited my post. AD been getting lots of cheap calls all series long. Impossible to try and play good defense on him

 

[Jordan23]

Portland has been absolute shit after that first game. Ouch

Pacers got called for 16 fouls today.

Heat only got called for 11.

Must have been the refs that helped the Heat win.

I never once said the refs are the reasons the lakers are winning. Learn how to read.

AD get a lot of touch fouls BS. Impossible to try and guard him physically. Basically just have to give him his jump shots and don't play him tight at all.

For a player who primarily shoot jump shots, it isn't normal to get 15 free throws per game.

A below average losing record 8 seed is being exposed as a mediocre team.....

I am not sure why any idiots though the Blazers would win this series, yet alone sweep the Lakers (Charles Barkley??).

Sure, they might come all the way back and win it....but this is not a particularly good Portland team.

This defense is an embarrassment. When your defense is this bad, you should know how to do something well. Obviously on the ball defending isn't your thing. Wouldn't have hurt to work on a zone defense since arriving to the bubble
