    Congrats to Portland for getting into the playoffs.  The Lakers should plow through them.
    I think the Blazers will give the Lakers a handful.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Agreed and i will add, Ja is the future..
    Ja? Realy? 

    He needs to improve ona jump shot.  If he does that then I'll agree.  Dude has some serious baseline talent.  If he gets that outside shot then I'll agree.  He needs improvement though.  If not then he is Ben Simmons whom also needs to improve.

    There is tons of talent in the NBA but if they don't get to that next level then it's just a good player...

    He played in the bubble with a broken thumb. That’s why his shooting percentage dropped from the regular season. Ja is going to be just fine and is already a superstar. When he starts to get the calls that other stats get it will be a game changer. I couldn’t be prouder of this Grizz team and where they are headed. The future is bright.

    Again, he will be fine if he gets a better jump shot...

    Game is in great hands.  Doncic is unbelievable. Booker dropped 70 like two years ago and he’s still young. Tatum, Ingram, Zion, Ja.   

    Im not worried about losing interest in the NBA.  Saw Doncic earlier this year.  Everything is just in flow.  At the end of the night i was like “wait he had 30 and 10??”

    Jokic can ball too.  Trae Young is getting better.  Siakm has become a star.

    I still think Zion won't last more than 5 years and I do hope I am wrong because he has some serious talent.

    Next year we will see Lamelo Ball play too.  THAT gets me excited.

    The vast majority of the bubble games have been compelling and competitive.
    Setting up for a very interesting playoffs.

    KD? He isn't even in the dirty bubble.
    League has already directed the refs to install a Celtics/Lakers final. All time traditional match up for maximum TV ratings.

    Don’t count out the Raptors 
    they are playing good TEAM basketball with a deep bench
    not many teams can beat them in a 7 game series and they won’t be as beat up coming through the East as the western final contender
    now watch the Nets sweep them lol

    I assume he meant AD since even if Durant was playing he's on a different team.

    If the Clippers have chemistry they’ll take it.  Big IF tho.  Kind of late to be developing that

    Yeah, Mavs beating LAC would be a surprise.

    I'd like to see the Blazers beat that other LA team too.

    Crazy Clippers/Mavs game.

    The Clippers will be fine if they get better at defending the 3-pt shots.

    And that was the most comfortable the Blazers have looked against almost any team yet, even if they didn't score as freely as usual. Long way to go, but that's a pretty nice start.
  • RiotZactRiotZact Posts: 6,245
    Yeah that was minus a starter and with CJ and Lillard both scoring less than their Vegas over/under. Should be a fun one. 

    That being said, the Lakers were 15% from 3. Not going to be able to rely on that for every game. If they shot a still horrible 25% they would have won handily.

    I felt the same way. The Blazers are on a hot-streak right now, and Dame is ridiculous. I hope the Blazers win the series.
