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

The second quarter is how the Lakers need to play.

They defended well and really attacked the paint offensively.

If they can keep this up, they will win the series in 6.

If they play like this the rest of the season.. Good things will come

Dislocated finger for Dame

If Ant decides to be aggressive like that every night, no one is stopping him. Defense has been great both games, hope Dame is ok

Nothing but respect.

Having said that....I could see him requesting a trade in 1-2 years.

Lilliard and AD would be a great 1-2 punch once James leaves or retires.

George Karl with the mic drop all time rap battle lines

"How many of my teams became dynasties right after I left?"

There is no coming back from that.....Jackson should have just bowed his head and walked away.

Credit where credit due

That's how you respond LA

What did Jackson actually say about Karl to start this?

That is the part I haven’t seen anywhere.

I mean he's got a pretty solid team around him, McCollum and Nurkic. Doesn't supporting cast. Nurkic just has been injured the last couple years in the playoffs. Lebron was with CLE for 7 years and he didn't have close to that supporting cast.

Kyrie and Love is pretty comparable

Jackson: "Defense is..."

Must've missed that stipulation

Heard on The Jump was Lakers first playoff win in 3000+ days? That's close to UM beating OSU territory isn't it, @Wamu ?

Not sure what Jackson said, it looks like Karl thinks Jackson criticized Karl's teams defense.

But based on Jackson's response it doesn't look like it was directed at Karl.

True...but part of that was Lebron never committing to stay. Cle not being a FA destination doesn't help either.
