@barbarian Danny Green will probably explode from the arc next game. He can't shoot that poorly again.

And AD. That game blows off the rust. If LA wins the next game they should take it inside 5. As bad as they played if they had kept up their mid Q4 tactics and stopped settling for 3s they could have won that

Lebron is the best all-round athlete the NBA has ever seen but he doesn't have the killer gene.
Too much facilitating when he needed to level up as only players like he, Kobe, and MJ can and could do. Still, only game one.
@raznomore yeah it’s game 1. Lebron has been in this position before.
Lakers shot a lot of 3s and they didn’t go the 2-man game With Lebron and AD.
Need to change it up for game 2.

@raznomore Yeah, you've got to question Billy Donovan's tactics against a team with no true C. Attack them in the paint.

First quarter they were dominant inside.
But you’ve got to hand it to the Rockets help defence. It has improved out of sight. Covington is a great team player.
SGA just couldn’t get going.

@ACT-Crusader SGA has been struggling since entered the bubble. Some players have mentioned their inability to get going in a crowd less atmosphere. Maybe that's what is happening with him.
I agree the help d in the paint was good and aggressive from the Rockets.

The thing about this series is that Portland have been in the playoffs for a month. The Lakers have been coasting up until this point. Dame is currently the best player on the planet and feeling himself. Melo has accepted his lesser role and is thriving. McCollum is doing what he does fills the score sheet when Dame goes quiet. Nurkic is fully fit and way too much for a player like McGee to lockdown. Then they have Whiteside waiting to come in and swat everything. Don't get me wrong an 8th seed is usually coming into the playoffs having had to struggle for their place. But the Blazers are hardened and a much different proposition than had the Grizzlies made it through.

@mariner4life he apologised about 20x afterwards, he knew immediately what he'd done.
Fucking hard work avoiding this thread plus numerous whatsapp and messenger chats all day!

@voodoo if it makes you feel any better my son is a massive Lakers fan and he doesn't know they lost. I'm going home to rub salt into the wound. Fucking Lakers fan!

I have a good payday coming if Portland go all the way, though will likely cash out earlier. Ideally they beat LA, beat Houston, then I can cash out and watch Dallas (yes Dallas!) beat them in the WCF's.

If KP hadn't been ejected Dallas had a golden chance to win G1

@ACT-Crusader yeah I know, golden opp missed, and Clips will only get better. But I can dream.

I think Portland WILL beat the Lakers in the first round after they dust up the Grizzlies. They'll be battle hardened and have a ton of weapons in Dame, CJ, Melo and Nurkic. I certainly hope so anyway.

I'll take the G1 win, and hope like fuck Dame & Co carry on.

Not sure I'd call Melo a "weapon" these days!

Exactly same situation here, and I did exactly the same thing
