Time to take control of the series tonight. Knock the Blazers out and don’t let them linger any longer. |
They’re all playing, the Lakers just like to mess around. |
Lakers likely put players on the GTD because they are being extra careful about the potential chance they re-aggravate there injury. |

They may be trying to discombobulate Portlands practice schemes. If you're not sure who you're gonna face how do you prepare? Play chess not checkers.

Indeed. It’s a running joke at this point.  |

Rondo is still out for this game as far as i know. Lakers need to win today! 3-1 lead will suck all the hope out of the Blazers, and we can end this in 5. |

They're not GTD, they're all listed as PROBABLE, per the official Lakers game notes.

Thanks BadGuy, really curious to see how Rondo looks when he returns. |

Pull it back. Kobe! Swish! 🎵

I think Rondo would have played in the last game. It wasn't his finger that kept him out it was spasms. He may be ready tonight.
I don't know if that's good or bad. If he gets JR's minutes I'm OK. If it means we won't see Dion, I'm not.

Must-win game, need to come out all guns blazing. If the Blazers take this one Dame and Melo will absolutely smell blood. Game 5 when a series is tied 2-2 is always tough

You don't want to piss Dame off. We've got enough to deal with in Mello and CJ.

Why isn't it more "the Blazers don't want to piss off James and/or Davis and the Lakers"?
Blazers have been physical. Davis has been knocked down multiple times, James has been grabbed/tackled going to the basket, Trent has been flopping any time he feels any contact and Nurkic has been giving regular forearm hits.
I'd like to see the Lakers be a little pissed themselves. They are the #1 seed. They have allowed the glimmer of hope and at times downright disrespect by their inconsistent play.
That needs to end. |

That's officiating. AD's been playing with a chip the last 2 games. Bron is a master at pacing. He'll come alive near the end of the 4th if he has to. If not he'll save it for the next game.

Okay, Mavs and OKC were able to tie their series 2-2.
Hope this doesn't inspire confidence in the Blazers. |

| With the Mavs and Clippers all tied up at 2-2 and Rockets and Thunder the same, the Blazers are gonna want to do the same thing, hopefully we come out with hunger and focus. |

| Portland has showed who they are. They shoot 40% and struggle to score 100. It took an insanely bad shooting night by the Lakers for them to win one. It should be an easy 3-0 right now. |
