I'm afraid by tomorrow we will see a lot of bad calls against the Blazers. Sad

I hope not.

Dame proved something in this bubble and I don't want to see his downfall because people wanted to see other teams facing in the WCF. That would be really disappointing knowing how Dame would might take down the Lakers and throw down the record the King has every first round of the playoffs.

Still it was a close game. It just indicates Mavs had a better game (I just hope they would maintain it, and cool their heads off). But yeah, you couldn't help but to wonder if KCP were not ejected, they certainly could've pull it off with that 8 point difference?, damn Sad

. I am not a fan of Mavs nor Clippers but it wasn't entertaining to watch since that call.

I know right?

Despite the ejection of Porzingis, it is still a close game. This just proves how great Luka is, I hope they could take down Clippers since if they did, that would be another upset.

Yes Clippers won, but it could have been a great game if KCP weren't ejected, hopefully next time he will learn as Mavericks were able to match the Clippers very well, they were down at the start but they rallied and even lead the game, but unfortunately, due to 2 technical fouls of KCP, he was ejected early in the 3rd quarter.

Speculation is coming out, I read some comments online that the refs favored the Clippers as they want the Lakers vs Clippers match up in the WCF.

I'm afraid by tomorrow we will see a lot of bad calls against the Blazers. Sad

Come on, man Grin

. One ~~mistake~~ bad call of a referee doesn't mean all referees were bad. Nobody would like it if this were true, even those players itself.

Who would not?
They know Porzingis will be thrown out from another tech and yet they still did it.
18 points lead at the first was got back by Dallas in a sweep and then the thrown out of KP made it bad.

First tech was already a question because that was a clean block. It's normal he would react from it.
What if they challenge it? Will the called tech also be taken back?
I don't know if they are insensitive or just following the higher ups.

Of course, the Clippers won, and he tallied a double double with 10 points and 10 rebounds and that is for 22 minutes of playing.

I thought you're talking about Kentavious for a while there.

That technical fouls is really soft, a lot of people even some of the NBA stars know that it is, that really cost them the game. the annoying thing here is that Marcus did the shoving, not really Porzingis, this is outrageous. I don't know if the refs are really siding with the Clippers here, all I know is that Maverics can take Clippers, I know they can.

yeah, and Dallas still had a good result, but could not keep it in the last quarter, when Clippers were a bit better, but this is just a first match, and Dallas could win second match, Doncic was great last night, and with one more player close to his performance, it would be different

In half an hour starts the game that I'm most interest in at the moment and that is Clippers vs Mavericks. Zublocka is my fellow Croatian and I'm happy to see him get more minutes in playoff this year and see if he will be the wild card for Clippers like I believe he will.

Zublocka is Zubac? a former Laker player?

I am not familiar with the name, sorry, but I think you meant Zubac.

This guy is really a big contributor to the team, back when he was still with the Lakers I already admired the way he play, he is a hard working guy and can compete in the inside.

Of course, the Clippers won, and he tallied a double double with 10 points and 10 rebounds and that is for 22 minutes of playing.

I never fully understood all the Lakers hate

More like they are on the dominant position, I think it's isn't about hate but more likely INSECURITIES. They are the favored one to win the championship along with Bucks and the fact that they have LeBron on their side as well, but the fact LeBron and Lakers doesn't on that as well as other teams on people's sentiment for their team, imo.

I think he have been given more minutes right now on the bubble averaging 24 mpg compare to the regular season that averages only 18 mpg. I am rooting on his boards and blocks. He's no.25 in rebound and 32 on block leaders more like an average to me but still that doesn't question his ability on both. I'm a Clippers fan though only when George is at, lol.

For some reason wherever I check NBA related I see people supporting Blazers like crazy and hoping they would beat Lakers, well Lakers are first seed and blazers are 8th and they managed that on last day, so I think it is quite possible that Lakers could sweep Blazers let alone beat them.

I support the Blazers as well, I am not a fan of the Lakers actually, I am Kawhi fan so my vote goes to the Blazers as I see some weakness the Lakers have showed in this season and I have a feeling that Blazers will exposed them.

If they could manage the heat of Lebron and Davis the. possibly they can beat the Lakers but I do believe regular season is different on playoffs and see Lebron stays when it came on that series he will became a beast so provably this is an interesting match up, Those weaknesses mentioned and noticed will be cope up by the coaching staff and for sure Lakers is dangerous in this time around.

Portland Trail Blazers is on-fire on their last games to qualify for the playoffs.

But just come to think of it, they become on-fire because they are fighting for the playoffs spot where it's really close. They are heavily pressured because a single game loss will lead them into elimination. It's like they are fighting for their lives lol.

Now that it happened, no pressure now on Game 1 as even they will lose there's another game. I hope the same fire level will be shown on Game 1 even they aren't under pressure now. Lillard back then is confident they can beat the Warriors last playoffs meeting with this team and the same statement now again stated against the Lakers. And not that Lakers, he is confident they can beat any team. I like the level of confidence, they needed it, but hopefully, he won't be carried away.

It's because of LeBron that people mostly criticized.

Since he's on the Lakers, it's a domino effect.

I never fully understood all the Lakers hate, I get that they have been champions for many times and as far as I know the only team that has more championships is Celtics with their very very early days of NBA dominance and they haven't had too much after that neither, so Lakers have been dominant for far longer which could cause people to not like them. However isn't that what all teams aspire to be? Win titles in every decade if you can? That is what I think every team wants to achieve so you can't blame Lakers for doing what other teams wanting to do in the first place.

Game 1 is very important, so it's important that they will win this game.

I might follow this one, I will be betting on the Blazers to win in game 1, no point spread, I'll get them at Moneyline, if they lose, I will bet against them in game 2 until the series ends. Not settling for the + points here though it's attractive, I just want to see how far they can go.

Am I the only one who is excited to the 1st game of Lakers and Blazzers?

No you are not the only one, me too.
Lakers is a good team but I like the Blazers to take the game 1, this is the same court where the Blazers are playing very well, so I don't think they'll struggle even against the best team in the Weat.

Quote from: Savemore on August 17, 2020, 01:56:48 AM

In these past games we saw that Liliard have hot hands where he scored 60 points 2 times in a row. It is unbelievable while the Lakers have bad start in the NBA bubble. But we are now talking about playoffs and for sure all of the times want to win. It will be a tough match for me but still the lakers have the upper hand the Blazzers is the underdog.

Hopefully he can bring that kind of rhythm on their series of games against the Lakers,

Game 1 is very important, so it's important that they will win this game.

Ah I understand, first game, I'll go with the flow placing my bet for Blazers with +5.5 handicap the odd from the site I'm placing my
bet is @ 1.9

I personally like how the team played the last time, Nurkic and Melo is stepping up helping the Duo's (Lilard and CJ)

The last previoue game of Blazers was pretty good. I thought Blazer gonna lose that game with Grizzlies. Lilllard had put so much effort in that game. However, they will going to face the best team in their conference (Lakers). They were unlucky this time and if I were them I will only bet to win to which they can decide when to throw a game. Probably that is a sure money for them but prettt sure a loss in their team in the play off. My bet here in the best of 7 games play off is Lakers. Hopefully gamblers should be able to predict winning game in the play off.

CJ back now who played very well and even Melo is playing like old melo so I think it is quite good looking but they are still the 8th seed.

8th seed or not this is the playoffs now and 4 wins it could end up the game of one team. Seeds on regular season doesn't matter that much right now.

What's the edge of Blazers to Lakers is I think Blazers has more clutch player than the Lakers, just my two cents.

People overreacting on the Blazers and Lakers thing. I understand that Lakers didn't really played a great ball in the bubble so far and everyone is thinking that maybe it is due to fact that they are not prepared for the bubble and that break really hurt them, and everyone is overreacting on the Blazers because they played such a huge bubble period and Dame even got the bubble MVP award and they got CJ back now who played very well and even Melo is playing like old melo so I think it is quite good looking but they are still the 8th seed.

I feel like when the series starting, it may not be a sweep for Lakers but it would be damn close, the very best I can sense is Lakers in 6, but I say Lakers in 5 is a great possibility as well. I feel like everyone on Lakers and specially Lebron will take up a whole lot of notches when playoffs starts.

I hope they do.
We always want to see great games right?

Trail Blazers will get their good rest for now and tomorrow will be a big one.
Let's see if they can also take their game to a higher level.
Offense vs offense here although I really want to see more defense on the Blazers side.
Will they just fight fire with fire? We will see match ups again with Lebron and Melo here. I am really excited.
