G38 POR @ LAL Game Thread

Go Melody! 🙂

LOL! I was planning to check when the game would start when I saw the new thread:-) Happened by default:-)

Third! @blubell:disqus was second! All ladies got the first 3 spots!!! We’ve done well:-) Men are too slow today. Hopefully JLin unlike men here is going fast and steady in this game:-)

LOL I really like your plot thickens….:-) Agreed with what you are saying here. It becomes even more bizzarred as each hour passes. Something is cooking and we can smell it:-)

We should know in the next couple of hours whether Kobe will show up for pregame warmups.

It’s really hard for the rest of the team to get mentally ready for games because they have no clue as to which teammates will be on the court with them, how many playing minutes to expect, etc.

LOL Sorry to hear that. What is the main problem of unable to find the new thread? What I normally do is
1. Sign in http://www.jlinportal.com/
2. Look at the farthest left on “Latest Posts and Threads” and click it.
3. Get into the newest thread on the site.
Hint: Always keep 2-3 tabs on http://www.jlinportal.com/ so that I won’t lose the previous thread:-)

Many players’ happy expression will just drop to being depressed.

everyone loves (lives) to see those words…. “and the plot thickens”. its the first thing i remember from “that other” abandoned site. always makes me feel comfortable like something historic to remind us of stability.

Didn’t know the football player guy liked Lin?

You know that they are nervous that he might show up. Scott looking scared because he doesn’t know what’s going on…LOL

Lin has a lot of non Asian fans on twitter. They like his fast game.

Ryan Ward @Lakers_Examiner about 36 minutes ago

As for the Lakers, Wes Johnson will be back in the starting lineup tonight. Still no word on Kobe’s status. Remains a game-time decision

Wow, what a drama queen. Does he expect a big cheer when he suddenly comes out of tunnel after first quarter? Kobe and BS not cool with each other, I think. Kobe trying to make BS suffer.

Is this good or bad? Is this the MJ?

Lol @ Drama Queen.

That is why I say that Kobe hasn’t contacted Scott. They are waiting to see if he shows up at game time.

Agree. BS is a lot more nervous than we are. Like JLin’s attitude. We know what we are doing with or withot KB:-) The only one that doesn’t know what to do is BS.

Lin should be appointed an ambassador to China or Taiwan, given all the practice he had being diplomatic about assh*le people and organizations; he would be great at it. Lin wouldn’t even say bad thing about North Korea or its leaders.

https://twitter.com/KevinDing/status/554439091240968192

I wonder whom he contacted?

Finally the wait is over! It will be interesting to see how BS is “coaching” tonight. Will he be in survival mode lol?

https://twitter.com/Lakers/status/554439638241144832

My man Kevin Ding with the 411…LOL

As long Lin finishes.

Full “my bad” mode?

https://twitter.com/EricPincus/status/554440432281595904

He is really kissing Kobe’s butt….

or something has been cooked =)

https://twitter.com/LakersReporter/status/554440335653208064

could be. Hope we will hear the “NEWS” soon.

LOL KB is done now.

never were two initials so appropriate.

https://twitter.com/EricPincus/status/554440638314205184

I guess we learned that CHRONOS is the Chef and BScott is the Sous-Chef

Someone should feel afraid .. very afraid =]

Yep. Someone should:-)

Let’s see how much longer that crockpot lasts before it cracks…

This is the F/O prolonging the announcement that Kobe is done. They will keep the fans hanging on that he will come back. Now Scott is in a catch-22, he has to win some games to keep his job.LOL

U really think FO is trying to force Kobe out? Or has reached out to Kobe to hint that he should retire?

Yep. Should be soon. Don’t think Lakers will allow this to boil for too long.

https://twitter.com/bgarcia90/status/554441886006386689

BS kneeling before His Kobeness.

If Kobe retires, my respect for the guy would shoot up dramatically.

Too late for that now. Shouldn’t have piled all those bodies under the bus and burned bridges.

Lin will forgive; Lin a Christian.

Not so long ago , reading posts like – “It’s hard to be a Lin fan these days…” , or “If Lin continues to play scared or lazy or scrub, i might as well withdraw my support”. In other words , the gloom and the doom were the order of the day (at least , in other sites).

These days, it’s brighter and better. Thanks to Lin smiling , laughing, jumping and pumping a lot more. Those have translated to great games.

Today, i’ve never been more excited. The kid is finding his groove once again.

Let’s go JLin!

https://twitter.com/MarkG_Medina/status/554443699329826816

No the Lakers should making them run hard up and down the floor because they are on a back to back and they have tired legs.

So it’s finally coming forth now, the real truth.LOL

Well, if he does, he will gain some of respect back but not sure how much.

Wow. All-star is in Feb, rite? that’s still a long time that they are saying he won’t play at all.

The only game Kobe will show up it’s ASG then? I believe he didn’t want to play for Lakers this season.

Shutting down forever? Doesn’t make sense to shut him down this season and bring him back for next.

feb 13-15

Maybe he’s just smart. He knows playing rite now is not helping his brand. ASG is different. And looks like he’s letting BS take all the blame.

Because they are not. Kobe is done. They are hoping that Lin/Young group will keep the fans coming so when he does announce his retirement, it won’t sting so bad, and the fans will understand.LOL

I agree it’s a possibility. But u think Kobe wanted to retire, or FO reached out to hint to him, and Kobe upset so he is not playing.

You’ve got a good point ! I bet the FO thought about exactly the same thing.

Ya! That’s their plan… I thought this is coming but not this fast… Good. I hope he will not play for the rest of season. Now I can watch the full game…LOL!

That’s just stupidity on BS part.

He has definitely gone into self preservation mode. Kobe must really be mad at him. I think more of kobe’s wife(Vanessa) has probably gone off on Scott. LOL

asg game really isn’t a real game.

Yes. Enjoying the new star, Ronnie Price. jk

That is all about keeping the season ticket holders buying the tickets because eventually they think kobe will come back.LOL

Is Kobe mad at BS, so Kobe is retaliating by not playing. Or has FO reached out to Kobe to hint he shd retire. If former, why is Kobe mad at BS? After all, Kobe played long minutes because he himself wanted to do that.

When have you ever see Kobe take the blame for anything that he has done. So right now,He is probably blaming scott with you were the coach, you were suppose to look out for my health.LOL

Agree 100%.

KB is in anger/blaming mode

I guess more facts shd come out. I respect FO more if they did so, but I don’t know why Kobe shd be mad at BS when BS is his puppet.

https://twitter.com/KevinDing/status/554446974452125697

so he really need the help of everybody, and should cater to all the players to their strength and not be stubborn if he really wanted to be the coach of the lakers!

i think he will remember magic played after getting hiv

WTF? Doesn’t make any sense what he’s saying. BS is acting as if he has power over Kobe and he made Kobe play that much when Kobe didn’t want to. He really thinks everyone is dumb like himself. So BS now expects us to believe that BS “made Kobe” play long minutes?

Ding’s post doesn’t make any sense.

Lin, Black, Booz, less sacre, helping Swaggy heat up, Kelly. Yay, Just give them 5 more mins.

Is that a trick question? …. nvm. lol

Here we go.LOL

This is from an NBC Sports article, published on Oct. 16 of last year, after Kobe and BS reached agreement on a minutes per game target for Bryant. At the time, Scott said it would be “between 30 and 40 minutes” :

“…. But Kobe playing 30 minutes per game would be an unprecedented accomplishment.

Nobody so old has ever missed so many games and then played 30 minutes per game the following season. The 36-year-old Kobe, who played just six games last season, will try to become the first. Of players Kobe’s age, only one has missed a majority of his team’s games and then played at least 30 minutes per game the following season. Patrick Ewing played just 26 games in 1997-78 and then saw 34.2 minutes per game the following season.”

See : http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/10/16/kobe-bryant-and-byron-scott-agree-on-unprecedented-minutes-per-game-for-lakers-star/

Man, these divas…. smh

Please kobe will throw you under the bus, which he basically has done to scott. He will never admit publicly that he blames scott, but he will should it in his actions.

there really was no sorry at the beginning, so to speak. BS is stubborn (if his word are true that he’s sorry and such was not HIS PLAN to fast pace KOBE’s retirement) for he already knew what was RIGHTING to do at the beginning of his coaching JOB at the lakers but didn’t do it. A person with less forthsight of things cannot react immediately during the action..that explain his lack/Less of reaction game in game out!

But scott says, its because of your 32,000 pts..???LOL!

depending if he gets a shot to start and they develop him. if not lin will leave

LOL Not really. Just having fun here about who got here first:-) Thought @psalm234:disqus was going to make an announcement on the pregame thread but then when I didn’t see it after few minutes chatting with Nathan in Twitter, I decided to post the new thread. When I returned, I saw @moominfloren:disqus and @disqus_3ojL2FVU9I:disqus. Just joking with men being slow:-) Sorry to offend men.

If JLin scored the 100th pts again tonight to give Laker fans free tacos, will he be known as the “Taco Hero”? =)
#TacoSanity

We finished our tacos!!! Clap Clap Clap! We want some more!!! Clap Clap Clap! More tacos please Jeremy!!! Clap Clap Clap!

Jeremy likes food so it is a win win 🙂

The groove was never lost, despite attempts to marginalize. Truly Lin doesn’t need fair-weather fans just as none of us need fair-weather friends. I’m sure he appreciates the fans who support him through the ups (as well as downs).

yeah Jeremy has forgiven BS, but that doesn’t mean, JLIN will again get the BYron STONE and hit his(jerremy) head again. He knew how BS played him before….. unless , Byron told jeremy about what will be going to happen before the season and asked to be patient and stick around till the coast is clear.thats an impossible fairy tale to believe?

Taco should get Lin as a spokesman.

Remember this tweet? LOL.
https://twitter.com/JLin7/status/304630745673113600

Yep, the NBA is not there yet. They are comfortable with him being a backup. BTW PG’s available for next season: dragic,reggie jackson,brandon jennings, and lin

Troll, troll, troll your boat….

absolutely!
Jack-In-The-Box can use new slogans:
“Lin-In-the-Box”
“Taco is the Linning Way!”

i agree but young is help full for a guy who can make a tough shot when its needed

Yep, i like the last game when lin was going around talking to the indiviual players on the court when they had a break, and you know what, i like lin coming off the bench because he can actually gage where the deficits are and go in an attack. Scott has to win some games now, because kobe is not here anymore.LOL

Agreed. I am so impressed by Black’s personality and humbleness that I am rooting for the guy. I like Kelly too. Davis also. Very similar to Lin: Doesn’t diss anyone and has faith that things will work out while working hard.

We were synchronized that time!

with kobe in jepordy lins chances of starting again goes up although i prefer him with the bench guys. also his minutes will go up

Why prefer Lin on bench in the absence of Kobe?

very tough for Lin to see the true fans because there are so many in thick and thin. No biggie, karma is what it is when it is.

Many Spurs players, past and present, are fairly humble.

Perfect!

This year is a bust.
If Kobe is on his way to retirement, then Lin on Bench is best for Lin and team. Next year, 2nd unit starts, and lin has a real K not a backup K.

Messing with chemistry is not good. Lin is getting into grove with bench.

Watch the laker fans turn on Scott about playing Kobe too many minutes.LOL

need to indoctrinate that the era of KOBE type has to be thrown on his syastem and let the flow of the game come to him. He needs to learn to pass, thats he suppose to think right now!

Just swap the whole bench & starters will be fine

if given the chance, LIN-Davis / Lin-Black will the forefront of the starters and the bench!!!

I think Lin got less mins without Kobe playing bc BS played his beloved snake head even more.

Suns Grizz in final mins of OT. B Wright on first game there got more mins and played better than in BOS. Just goest to show, it’s how a team uses a player.

still walking humbly for now, just let us see if in the future with media running over him if the same tarick will emerge. We know fame corrupts the minds of everybody if you are not strong on temptations!

not for a long time, right?

They are 2-3 can go to 3-3 tonight

oh, I’m after the real record to see if they can grind it out into the playoffs. This Kobe with w/o is already proven, but good point.

If Kobe truly retires, I’m very sure it will.

To make playoffs they would have to win 70% of all remaining games. That means play as well as Houston’s record till now.

chinese place at the mall food court is way better

let’s see who lets the dogs out!

Can you even call it Chinese food?

if they can win 42 games this season
thats a big accomplishment in the west

they say Panda Express is focused on a service. I guess if I was hungry and it was McD, JackBox, Wendys, or Burger King, I’d do Panda Express, then JackinBox. McD would be last.

OMG, Phx/Grizz 2OT.

cant wait to see those 2 going… hope to see good minutes today

I would throw Kelly in there as well 🙂

TacoLin — TacoLinning

wow wow

No me, I’m expecting some BLin-g!

Just put the bench plus Davis as the starting lineup. Enough with this charade.

a bit more than that.

right and their wont be any need to play price cause price is just there to have someone worse than kobe. so kobe doesn’t look bad; but….he still looked bad. ergo.

for now. he’s resting in limbo. for an unspecified time. for unspecified reasons.

the lakers have been a competitive team in every game except 2 since kobe started either not playing or shooting 50% less when he did play.

no reason to think they can’t remain a competitive team.

in any event its hard to see a scenario where the kobe of the first 27 games of being “overused” (and over shooting)—bs says its his bad? will ever come back again.

that alone is reason for both lin fans and laker fans to rejoice.

I was actually craving tacos for a while. hehe.

I still think their goal was to break MJ’s record before KB wears out. The Team suffered.

si senorita

Gracias, senor.

That was the goal and they did it. Everything else was a freebie.

I'm not a sports person but just watched the Jeremy Lin story…..amazing story of faith and not giving up. So glad Emma made me watch it.— nancy chris inman (@nancy_inman) January 12, 2015

LOL

Good luck with that.

Or they can say they need to develop the young people and play more clarkson and the new guy, Tarik.

This is the thing I don’t understand…how can Kobe’s fans NOT KNOW that Kobe is the one who determined how much he played. He is The Man. No one tells him what to do, no one ever has, and that “alpha” badness is part of what they seem to like about him. Who in their right mind can blame his “coach”. Not that I’m not perfectly happy to see BS getting some heat, mind you. But I guess Kobe’s fans are as irrational as he is.

I would slap myself if they made the playoffs, they would have to win 40 of the next 45 something games. Maybe Jordan and Pippen could pull something like that off, not these Lakers. I would be ecstatic to see them win half their games from now on because that gives us some wins to cheer about and I thought they were capable of playing .500 ball before the season started.

https://twitter.com/EricPincus/status/554464025258369024

And so it begins.LOL

Grow up, kids.

Can someone tell me if Kobe is starting?

Why is BS falling on his sword so dramatically at this early point? Why does there have to be blame assessed at this date? Maybe the front office thought this route would be the best way to keep the media and fans distracted from looking into what might be deeper issues.

Certainly Byron’s drama seems to have distracted the media from asking simply whether anybody has actually spoken with Kobe about his minutes and his ongoing role with the Lakers. Maybe they’ve wondered, but they don’t dare ask? It’s a simple, direct question.

Certainly “resting” Kobe wouldn’t preclude him from showing up at practices to help the rest of the team prepare for games — and it certainly wouldn’t preclude Kobe showing up for games in civiliam clothes to cheer his team on. Would it?

If Kobe is “just fine” outside of some wear and tear, why isn’t he the one controlling his own message instead of letting some people wonder whether he’s abandoned the team. He got his message across very colorfully about calling his teammates as soft as Charmin. Suddenly he’s not talking to the media about his own physical conditioning? Does not compute. ABEND.

Right, appeasers never wins.

Haha. No.
Keep scrolling down and you will see the drama.

Well, now that I read the Pincus article instead of just the Cliff Notes on our site, in the course of “apologizing” Scott manages to say “I” about a thousand times. In addition to covering Kobe’s exhausted butt and also kissing it with comments about him being good for next year too…I also think it’s his lame effort to appear to be the “decider”. Not sure anyone will fall for the idea that he controls much of anything.

https://twitter.com/Godfamilylakers/status/554443750869454849

Is he kidding? Lin fans will now buy those tickets like hotcakes!!!

We are quite biased but you’re right that Kobe not playing makes me want to buy the tickets more, not less.

Read it carefully, it says not to buy tickets if he will play.

Good grief, these people. “Byron’s early season usage…???” As if! It was always Kobe’s usage of Kobe.

I think he meant not to buy if he wont. I guess you’re kidding.

Keys of the game

so price trying to start the fast break for Portland for old time sake

The ways of shoe throwing or wind mill dunking?

BS all teary eyes cuz kobe not here.

Yeah, but Lillard respects Jeremy’s game more…
https://twitter.com/LakersReporter/status/554468194069381120

Ed Davis is bad at alley-oops when Jeremy is NOT the one throwing it lol. The timing is bad.

Jordan Hill going Lamarcus Aldridge mode…. against the team with Lamarcus Aldridge

Doesn’t matter, the audience knows who’s the real taco giver. 🙂

Jack-Lin-the-Box!

taco dont lie.

Stu Lantz is f’in annoying!!! SMH!

No tacos for Stu, he’s just bitter.

disagree they’re only hanging in there because portland is not taking the game seriously yet.

Its only a two point deficit. They seem to be competing.

Is the head roach going to keep all the starters in the whole quarter?

lolz…its either the bottle is half full or half empty

Like how he forced the Price/Davis

If I’m an la ticket owner im running to the owners

70% empty as in 4 out 13 shooting

I’m watching the LAL feed but listening to the Portland announcers. Problem solved 🙂

BS can’t keep BOTH Davis and Black off Jeremy.

Nice…Boozer making his shots

BS don’t trust lin while lilliard still in.

If BS tries to bottle up the Jeremy/Boozer connection he deserves a high five……. IN THE FACE. 10 TIMES.

Don’t just say something. Show me how I am crazy.

what i expected

lol…he is pulling a quick one…chill mate 🙂

Ha, ha. ok.

so should all 2nd unit after TimeOut. Kelly looks like at table w/ Lin

JLin needs 30 points in less than 25 minutes for several games just to get the media loud enough to question BS’s stupidity!

They are definitely not grooming Jeremy Lin
Paul ur wrong again lol

you fooled me. You have to put a smiley in there somewhere.

BS desperate to keep Jeremy out of the story.

i knew you were being sarcastic. i just can’t pass up any opportunity to confirm the pathetic career of ronnie the price is right.

Only 2:35 to play, JLin gotta go scoring mode!

2:45 left after Black and Boozer went in first

not surprising the only reasons hes been getting minutes in recent games is because of bloody nose/flu and fouls for ronnie the price is right

Stu hates

Come on Lin. You have to hit that shot.

I never listen but tonight I am and it’s crazy

https://twitter.com/MarkG_Medina/status/554473145537548288

Good Lord. Bad TO.

oopsy TO

Nice…finally sinking it in…Go LIN

Mid J

Lin jumper. Go Lin!!!!!

Clutch, baby!

what did he say

For those calling out Jeremy’s shot… that jump shot is for your demands..

Both Byron and Stu are haters!

Now for JLin to make some 3s.

Swaggy still slumping

Its hard to describe Byron w/o insulting him and cursing but its prohibited here lol

you made it!…he is smart and we all know….only those….

let’s go BLin-G! Black-Lin-Game

this unit is so much better than the starters even with the chuker young at least as someone pointed out he gets fouled sometimes and hits his free throws and with black and kelly you dont have to have the hopeless sacre in there.

i know, but we have to keep our decorum as well 🙂

Really?? Guess I miss it. Thought it was with Boozer, Clarkson, NY

yes and taking those closing Quarter shots…improves his perception as well…thats how fans and NBA works. People remember those shots

he s in…now…so its fine, i guess

Get me 6 points

i think he dare not risk his body, hence he tuned to become a shooter

Black is good!

liked that he started aggressive as well Q2…although he missed it

Black is a real INSIDE presence

There you GO…LIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lin scores and runs back on D to force a TO!!

Nick Young belongs on first squad.

Young is not adjusting his game, he is being scouted and his shot is not there

Don’t smile, Jer, as psalm coaches.

FTs…again…mmmm come on LIN

Freebies

IDM Young is 0/4. He is just swag.

Take Young out!!!

Get me 7 jeremy

Lin please practice your FTs more! That 50%FT is like a Center going to the line! ><"

0-5!!!

Young sucks tn seriuosly back off man let Lin do his thang
YALL ARE NOTHING WITHOUT JEREMY LIN
LIN IS YOUR GOD YOUR CREATOR
sorry i went too extreme

its crazy to think he isn’t practicing

Lakers would already have the lead if not for Young!

Yes, notice Lin is trying to help Nick out

young is so worthless

This unit of Jeremy-Kelly-Boozer-Black is one shooting guard away from burying the Lakers starters to oblivion.

CATER TO LIN

I think it will pay off later.
And Nick will appreciate it

stu never criticizes young. just says has to shoot out of slump. stu is annoying

Well, someone has to stand in for KHuang….:) A little extremity is the spice of life.

Bias hater, all I hear from Stu is noise.

It’s been days now. And these wins are critical to make a point.

Stu implied that Lin’s scared of defending Lillard. Hate this idiot!

Switch to the Portland feed!

Lin to Boooozzzz

Nice we will get 6-7 here

These announcers are supposed to be homers and instead they’re criticizing their own players. WHY, Stu why? Damian Lillard isn’t going to switch teams because you bad mouth Jeremy Lin all game.

lin is working it

price for young?

these announcers cant say anything positive about lin without trashing him in the same sentence

It’s so fun to watch this group. JLin playing true point guard. Team ball. Go Lin.

finally…good FTs

lin gave up a 3

the price is right

’cause Young was taken out!

lol stop me when i go too far

This price is never right……

Kind of weird…it was very bad……

Young in slump. Good move I would say.

Stu is another racist and Lin hater! Don’t want the Asian guy to succeed! Rather praise his scrub Price!

Not watching, can only follow play-by-play…so who’s PG here, Jeremy or Price?

at least Lin will play the Q that way.

Price brings ball up Lin being kobe now

As long as Jeremy is on point, no complaints..

unlikly wes was suppose to come in

Very true, I think Lin has more confidence going inside then shooting 3s =/

Isn’t that weird? Huh….does BS think if Kobe can’t play anymore that he can keep Price as PG and shift Jeremy around to SG…or worse yet, out entirely? Is he trying to prove they could trade Jeremy out and not suffer?

i dont think so…i think they compliment well, both are not hoggers, they do pass to others

Usually, Boozer, Young, Sacre, Clarkson and now I see Kelly doing one with Jeremy

Lin Out for Ellington

Jeremy-Boozer-Kelly-Black: Let’s sit together…

Great productive outing by Lin in 10 min
7pts/2asts (2-5 shooting, 3-4 FTs) only 1 TO

Live streaming http://www.ifeed2all.eu

at least he got a good 10 minutes

Yep. Guess more and more fans besides JLin fans notice it.

So it seems, lately, BScott brings Lin late in 1stQ and then keeps him in for about 8min Q2

Coach BS talks out of his a$$.

thats good

go ronnie!!
throw that shoe!!

Better rotation and minutes without Kobe, I’d take it from that Bias Hater!

https://twitter.com/LakersNation/status/554478873782784001

and thomas

Price can make simple passes for assists it works.

when lillard scores on price, he just compliments how good lillard is.

Johnson woke up after out for several games, 8 points.

https://twitter.com/LakersNation/status/554475585435889667

Davis completely lost on what made him a great big

does that mask interfere?

This game is so winnable but we have a head roach instead of a HC.

Playing with Kobe will do that to you. Black came to Lakers at a perfect timing.

give him last 2 mins would be fun.

Yes, Scott is a Head Case

POR still have like 2 gears they have not shifted to…

Lin might not have been 10 if he wasn’t on the FT.

They seem a bit out of sync.

https://twitter.com/robinlundberg/status/554477454342234112

Antennas that only pick up BS signals. useless…

Now I have a gross image in my head. >.<

https://twitter.com/LakersReporter/status/554480296104448000

Price can’t even follow Lilliard. LoL

What does he mean mentor/close friend? Didn’ know that.

https://twitter.com/IdoAmir/status/554480829733150721

Yes

Lin 10 minutes Price 15+ minutes

Okay Lin
if Byron wants to throw you in again for defense
say no you missed the boat

anyone else just the the feeling whenever Lillard feels like blowing this game open he can. Yet still a close game, gotta give props to the whole Laker players keeping it competitive.

Price digs the hole and Lin has to fill it later

Why let Lin in at 0.5 sec. left?

said Gary Cole – Office Space

Portland announcers saying this is good move by LA.

have a good appt result!

Stupid for trying a steal

May God keep you healthy

Why was 3 pt shooter Blake left wide open? Who’s man was that

He has to rotate…middle drive….so….pick your posion

In ya face price

so Priceless D

Contain. Clock is on your side. Not too bbiq smart.

Lin and Hill were in paint guarding same guy. was that Lilliard they guarding?

who?

Ya that was on Price losing Lillard Lin has to come in to guard Lillard leaving Blake open. Price too slow to get to Blake.

not thinking. Contain in that situation. Clock will do the stop, or O will make a mistake under pressure.

https://twitter.com/CNM_JLin_Vids/status/554482117993062402

Keep smiling:) Keep believing.

Jlin 7 pts 2 asst

lol

BS was just matching Portland substitution. so can’t blame him for that.

below ido tweeted that the starters were minus 30 and bench plus 30 that was incorrect. at that time the bench was plus 30 but the starters were minus 40.

now at half starters are minus 52 and bench plus 27.

Best player of the game so far?
Lillard and Lin
Blazers can be better come on I know yall are better than this
Batum needs to wake up

Price lost Lillard, Lin had to leave Blake to cover Lillard. Price too slow to pick up Blake.

BS substitution is based on opponents move. Not smart. Not thinking ahead.

There were some good stretches..

Should forget about defensive stopper Price stopping Lillard. Better put Lin on him.

The coach allows a few players to pad this way, just as McHale let Harden pad his STs and RBs with no defense responsibility.

7 assist

LOL Price only has 4 points!

No worries. Lin will hit a couple of 3’s to get his double points.

was talking bout lilard

lilard

-I have more than enough job in tuning out Stu Lantz.
-Patrick Beverley who?

bears repeating at half: lakers starters a minus 52; bench a plus 27.

ok, thanks

Several weirdos, like Godzilla poster and ThomasSoSick poster.

when i turned on the feed, i hesitated for a second whether i should listen to the portland feed or the ‘home’ feed.

he looks better with lin

everyone here (well almost everyone) came over from there long ago. (well at least awhile ago) this is the breakaway still lin fans fans site.

Lillard not even playing hard, playing at around 70%.

hah. portland feed isnt bad, if i recall correctly.

So Stu is saying that Lilliard just that special. Didn’t they said it was because LAL didn’t have Price to finish the game and that’s why LAL lost?
Well, Price is here now. Whats your excuse then.

Too bad for Swaggy, shooting slump got him benched.

They respect Jeremy.

Patrick Beverley is RELEVANT? lol

Lilliard scored 2 points while Lin was in. The other 11 with Price in the game

Come on Nick, put some in the hole.

psalm234, i sent you a donation receipt this morning in your gmail box.
Please check, thanks!

The starters are making a comeback

Lakers without Kobe are playing free and with efforts.

Wow, alley oop by Lillard.

Yeah nice play.

Then Lakers have a chance to win this one because their bench is all PLUS!

Our boy doing good or not?

put liin in already. this is ridic

price has 9 assist but it has zero effect

gotta get Lin in now or…… too late

Seems none of these guys can find the gap, and cut to the basket. Live and die with 18 footers. Very boring.

too late for tacos

watch, it’ll be close

IF blake-lillard close the game

oh , so Lin’s not in ?

our boy only played 7 min :/

price is not a play maker he has 9 assist and honestly if i wast watching the stat board i wouldn’t know

He’s doing great! 7 points, 3-4Fts =) Just need more minutes.

pretty good. and on wes, he is confident

Stupid Coach BS.

How is Jeremy still no in?

I think that will always be the case for rest of season unless Price gets hurt or something.

Hahaha. nope. still not in.

Booz and Black back with no Lin!!

Is BS strategy to lull the other team asleep and then slam the Lin hammer on them.

Jlin 9th man?

Starting to think Jeremy pulled a Delonte West

lin on horn

yep

Maybe scott is saving jli for 4thn

time out coming after dead ball. guys back to bench

9th man avg 10-11 points a game on 20 minutes is beyond efficient

Without Kobe they actually play as a team and turn out not to be too bad. I think Lin could have fun on a team like this were everyone just plays for each other and not have any superstar egos. In Interviews he is always saying how he just wants to play together.

Guess Price is getting the assists so allows LAL to keep pushing him as the better starter.

So tired of hearing him.

bc he gets more minutes. its that simple

I dont mind Price starts, but why he always play more minutes than Jeremy? Stu ugly old dog non stop praising Price which i also dont mind but the ugly old dog made sure to complain if Lin has any mistakes that is so bias!

always iffy.

black is horrible

price must be paying stu.

relax hard for a big

SHUT UP STU, you are such an ugly dog! An ev.. person looks really uglier !

young. lol.

Okay Lins fault then

Bad Shots by Booz and Young

I said partly.

Lin take over
dont let Young kill the momentum

it was though

the better Lin plays, the more minutes he stays at the bench, thats the life an Asian American basketball player according to NBA rules, so he will never outshine other players on the court. Poor Jeremy!

I sure wish Jeremy took that to the basket instead of passing to Young

Lin should have shot that one
bad decision making
please be confident in your self
youre the best player for the lakersright now

Yeah, but Black can’t dribble well. He should and could have just pushed the ball and had Black trailing him.

Lin did not play the whole 3rd qtr. am i right?

lin went for 2-for-1. got the ball back. too bad neither play got a bucket

no he played partially

about 2 mins.

bad decision

block this guy

Both possession were good…just did not make the bucket

What happened to Swaggy P. I like that guy. Hope he gets his shot back. Is he a little down because his big brother Kobe is not playing.

Young and Wayne ice cold I’m hoping one of them sits and jeremy gets their minutes during the 4th

Lin wide open swaggy swing the ball man

horrible shot selection swaggy

needs 11

Refs making a huge effort calling those illegal screens. Did someone tip them off about the Lakers screens??

Is the stand really dark or just a lot of empty seats?

SwaggyP is KB’s disciple, so no way he will pass to a wide open team mate, more so Lin.

i don’t like his white ones…his dark purple ones are much more cooler haha

He is way overrated. He got shots and points last year in D’Antoni’s system and everybody thought he was good because of his points totals. I do like him because he seems to get along well with Lin.

BS’ anti-coaching goes on and on and …..

the nike ones were the best

https://twitter.com/zukovka/status/554493436267876352

STOP force feeding swaggy jesus

keep the faith. I feel it.

They have to stay close to the score! Go Lin

I think Price is guarantee to finish 4th. question is Lin gonna be in as well.

wnt get double pts running the BS offense

Lillard too tough to guard. Guy can knock down long jumpers and also drive to the rim and pass.

now lin is cold great

Now Lins gone
very nice
shouldve shot when u had the chance

it’s now or never. LAL bricking, they need a ball handler to score because it’s a mess out there.

Lillard is a bad man.

lin may be done

Yes, smart and savvy. Just too much to shut down. Only thing is hope to contain him. He doesn’t just depend on his athleticism.

lol

Bad coaching…

Scott needs to be fired as a coach with his poor substitutions.

The only chance Lin has to beat an elite team like Portland is to have MDA on the sideline and run everything through Lin from the start. Have Lin get in a rhythm and then get the whole team in a rhythm.

Coach is stupid to think Price is a good defender!

Come on now jlin!

they are creating an illusion that Lin is not a starter because he is a poor defender, Mchale, BS, who’s next?

Lets go Lin. you have a chance to punch back. Your team is getting beat up.

Savvy play by Lin. He knew Batum was near and used the rim to shield him.

Not today, Batum.. not today… 🙂 no blocking today

Go LIN

What?

Horrible subbing why these guys can’t score lol

WOW, it’s over. Good night.

OK… take it back….. BS sitting Lin… guess game over

Waiting for highlight! game is over long time ago

🙁 🙁 🙁 Can’t let Lin outscore Price by even a single point, if possible.

3rd quater cooled the bench and ended it

Lin is out 🙁

Does he get double digits?

price has such a

Bad TO with 3 min to go

https://twitter.com/zukovka/status/554496882710700033

ego

crap!…i’m pissed

Really hope jeremy gets traded to a contending team like Portland….playoff basketball only increase his value

Price 33 min
Lin 19 min

No Lin no Win

and no tacos 🙁

Which is worse….

Kobe-less opportunity gone by.

Welcome to BS’ bizzarro world

ty

can they tie and go to OT?

LOL

nm

Thankfully Lin wasn’t in on that play by Lillard. Thank you Byron Scott.

WOW. Lillard is a killer. Lin take note, go for the jugular like that every game.

Why wasn’t lin driving, Lopez is out. I guess this game for lin was to get Nick out of his shooting slump…smh

No… just let Lillard go off on Price.

Not enough minutes tonight to get the juices flowing

In their dreams 🙂

Oaklands own Lillard has destroyed Price

egos much for the price defence

https://twitter.com/robinlundberg/status/554499115959476225

not much you can do with a coach that doesn’t let you play your game

Byron Scott is a very determined guy…no opportunity gone unobstructed on his watch!

Lin needs to keep in mind that he needs to get in and get his points and stop all the trying to set these people up.

yeah…thats how BScott is thinking, not realizing that is dumb

Lillard was offended that they put a scrub on him
and they thought this scrub cudve stopped Lillard
Man was largely offended

lol, this is much fun than the game itself…sigh

LOL. Nice thought but I’m sure lillard doesn’t give a crp about LIn’s career.

He wont do that
if he did, he wouldnt be in this mess right now

You’ve got that right!

We all know Lin is talented enough to get in double figure in 18mins

lilard needs screens to score on lin atleast. so much for the whole great defender thing

so you only want 18?

Just wait for Lillard’s post game interview to see what he has to say.

Scott looks like a fool now. Price played worse defense on LIllard than Lin did. Lin didn’t play enough, didn’t look for his shot enough. Oh well, 9 pts will have to do.

Indeed. But if Lin stayed on until the end… he always plays better and better near the end of the game. Taking him out with 5 min left… just dumb BS move

https://twitter.com/nbastats/status/554500178473140224

Price got more minutes than anyone, swaggy shot us out of the game, and the coach…….is a roach!

…………sigh

that last 1-1 beatdown, slam and1 was just it. Ronnie price not up to it.

Give me upfront fascists or Bigots any day over phony

buddies? never got that feeling. Respect though seems to be there between Lin and Lillard. There was definitely no respect for Price in those last two minutes.

https://twitter.com/CNM_JLin_Vids/status/554500784084484096

I think Lin cares for Swaggy more and more and hope to pull him up as much as he can.

Why hasn’t more reporters pointed out the racist benching by Scott? After every great game, Lin not only doesn’t get more minutes like Tarik Black but always gets less minutes (15-18)! The fact that Lin’s treated like this shows Lakers don’t care about him at all! They know very well BS is bias and ruining his stats, it’s obvious!

Lin should get himself going when the time is running out. He already tried all of first half. My comment was timed to do or lose situation.

Keep hope alive….

last game loss by 4 with lin. today lose by 12 with price soooooo…….

Why doesn’t Scott put a taller better defender on Lillard when he got hot? That’s what Portland — they put Batum on Lin when Lin used to go off on Portland in the past. Heck put Wes on Lillard! Scott stinks as a coach

Because Price is DPOY

lol

https://twitter.com/bgarcia90/status/554502227662893056

https://twitter.com/LakersReporter/status/554502448564273152

its semms lately he had been doing that during the start of his game, but then he tends to forget, he has limited minutes. He will figure it out

but last time we loss by 4 why is that

If Lin was in, Lillard wouldn’t have that dunk in the first place!

On a positive note, Kobe has sat out 6 of the past 11 games. He really needs to make an announcement already.

No opportunity for the Asian guy but more opportunity for the rookie Tarik Black just after one game and his pet Price.

All PGs of Lakers need to go down for Lin to 33 minutes and legit run as starter!

sounds like hes clueless that how 2 deal w/the killer like him as a coach..

why is that?? can the reporters get him to elaborate

Lin only logged 1 TOV…not bad~

why isnt it good but “not bad”?

Not that he had to make a point. Most people know this already.

Send this to Jeanie Buss.

the last obstacle get scott fired

Yes, yes, yes. Why is that so hard to understand for him? He can’t afford to help others when he’s in danger of losing his job.

Too bad

Only because Lakers will still be a terrible team.

The belove snake head; no surprise no criticism on Price’s poor defense lol

If Kobe retires, I want BS to be fired immediately!!

There is no “if Kobe retired”

exactly the worst player on the team

Agree Lin guards Lillard better than Price.

its insulting this scrub rbonniee price took two three when it mattered to miss both. what a ego. atleas bev waited to get a pass first and knew his strength. geez bev should be insulted i mention him here

Lin our best D on Blake: 9 pts blake
Lilliard: 34 pts.

There’s your game.

2 of the threes was not on lin

right, you are right. So, Blake gets 3 off Lin. One of them was on Price, so give it to hime at 34+3 heh heh.

I can’t find the interview with Lillard saying this. Care to give the link?

Hoped for more shots could go down. Lin played good…could be better. Lillard went off on Price and Scott’s defense

scrub

i have zero doubt lin get 18 if he started. 14 if he finished the game

And Lakers might have a chance.

hey could be.

this love scott has for price i really don’t get

Price to BS is like Bev to McHale.

It is coach’s job to analyze the opponent’s strength and weakness. Last game, Lakers got beaten by Lillard. Then BS should come up a plan to stop Lillard in 4Q. I guess Price was the plan for this game. Oh, yeah and luck.
