Wed. 2/23 - Lakers @ Blazers - Predictions & Comments

I am at a loss why we cannot get Bynum a post touch....this has been going on for a month now...

Rudy clearly had a foot on the scorers table...pathetic.

Agreed. They are all hyped up like it's a finals game; it's so annoying

Here comes Brandon... they want to put in the kill shot now while we are floundering...

Too many perimeter shots? Maybe. Gasol is a black hole, taking stupid shots right now.

Other facts:
Fernandez is amazing. Isn't he like the MVP?
Blazers announcers. Awesome.

O.K. Kobe....time to pass...you aren't 25 anymore

how the eff can we get out to a 10-2 start and by the end of the 1st qtr I feel like we have no chance?

Too many 1st Q opponent points to suit me. This is not looking good right now...

I think Kobe double clutched on every one of his shots....ugh...

Exactly what I was thinking. It's always like this when we go up there.

Because the Blazers are playing their style, and the fans are cheering them on.

I think Kobe had some awesome looks that didn't fall. I hope he shoots 50 times tonight. Nay, 70.

I'm not very confident after the way the first ended. We just don't seem to play to our strengths. Portland has plenty of long wings to guard Kobe and a lack of big men.....what do we do? Kobe shoots 9 contested shots and Bynum gets one post touch.

you know it's going to be a long night when kobe goes into hero mode midway through the first quarter.

i'm continually shocked at how badly the lakers get outplayed in portland. it's not like this team hasn't won in hostile situations. is it all the granola? do they pump weed into the visitor's locker room?

Bynum played like a complete sissy that first Q. Love the guy, but he has no excuse.

That didn't look like a foul on Luke... as much as it pains me to mention that

Tempo was way too fast in the first quarter...gotta get back on D

damn. we suck. hopefully we get a trade by tomorrow?

Everyone is bound to look invisible when they get no touches. He's not being utilized at all.

we must be watching different games.....He played pretty good off the ball....currently that's his only choice

Lakers are going to get destroyed in terms of calls tonight. This is pretty unbearable already.

No foul on Odom there on the baseline? It's one of those games. We won't win a close dog fight against this team on their court at this rate.......

see guys; this is exactly WHY we NEED hca. it's crucial we get the 2 seed so we could get @ least 2 series at home.

STUPID shot shannon

I don't know if his smug look or his flopping or his thinking he a star, but I don't like Batum at all....
