If these stats hold true, then Lakers will win...!
The Trailgangsters give up more points than they score, while the Lakers score about 9 points more than they give up! |
Lakers have traditionally had a difficult time winning up in Portland - this will be no different. |

Lakers are better than Portland and Portland is not nearly as good as last season.
But since it’s in Portland I’ll say this is an L. If they end up 3-0 in these 3 road cities on the same road trip 👀👀👀 |

Mama, here comes dat man again, TRAP GAME. Portland is 9-13. For some reason the Lakers have problems with teams under 500. Dame Dolla and Mello gonna show up and give us fits. Also their roster is at 100% and at home. I pick us to win in a squeaker. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

This needs to be a blowout. Get as much rest for the starters as you can before this next road trip. That one is the real test. _________________ It was reminiscent of one of those Most Interesting Man in the World advertisements: "I don't always shoot 6-for-28 from the field, but when I do, I become the youngest player in league history to score 28,000 career points." |

We hadn't won a game up at the Rose Garden for 4 years until we got LeBron. They had a 16 game winning streak on us at one point.
They're on a bit of roll since Hoodie joined them and I'm sure Blazers fans will be out in force tonight. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |

OK prediction time:
Portland is always a tricky win to get for the Lakers, even in championship seasons. I expect Dame to get lucky from the three point line out to mid court with a hand in his face for the entire first half. It's a tradition when the Lakers visit Portland.
Caruso. KCP. AD. Howard. LeBron when he needs to. Green too - we have the defenders to shut them down, even without AB. Sooner or later a hot shooting team will start missing if they're up against persistent hard nosed defense like this Laker squad has shown so far this week. Particularly if Howard/Caruso get inside their heads.
Lillard does have a temper when it gets physical. I predict he starts hating accountants after this game.
One last prediction: If Portland isn't hysterically sick from outside? I think it'll be a long night for them, and we'll see Dudley hitting casual 3's as the clock winds down, with LeBron assisting Javale in clowning on the sidelines. |

Is Kawhi Leonard still signing with us? He's going to play for both Clippers and Lakers? |

I hope to see another of the opposing teams' announcers melting down when we beat them. IIRC, the Blazer announcers are the biggest homers around. _________________ God is a Lakers fan........usually. |

Honestly, the main worry is reffing - we always seem to get jobbed in Portland. Minus that, we should be fine. |

Our front court should be able to dominate. Our back court can't handle Dame and CJ, though |

Caruso can guard both at the same time and shut them down without breaking a sweat, no problem. _________________ Frankie Vogel goes to Hollywood |
