PrintCongrats to the Portland Trailblazers. They played alot better then the Lakers did. I did not like seeing what happened to Rudy Fernandez. I honestly believe Trevor was going for the ball but just got careless and I hope all is going to be well for Rudy Fernandez and he will be able to play as soon as possible. Good Luck the rest of the year and hopfully we will give you a much better game the next time.

thanks for the good wishes.
But I still hope your favorite team loses every single game from now on.
"Bayless is awesome." -Clyde Drexler
good sport, minus you initial entrance, youve been decent
appriciate the sentamate for rudy
Q: Do you feel the city of Portland still wants you?
A: I know this team does, the organization does. Everybody else, I don't worry about that. We worry about our family right here (in the locker room). I know I got their back and I know they're behind me.
thanks for being classy
It was a hard foul, but not dirty. That happens and I agree with you that Ariza was playing the ball.
See you in a few weeks for the 4th and final matchup
How did you guys win that?

Wow
are you a REAL laker fan? Thanks for being respectful.

Don't buy it
He is trying to steal you’re money some how with this post.
jk I have been conditioned to believe most l*ker fans are criminals
but you seem like a decent guy
There won't be clean officiating in the NBA until David Stern is forcibly removed by the US Congress in 2013 for fixing games.

I am a die hard Laker fan, I love L.A. but I never want to see anyone get hurt. That is not what it’s supposed to be about. We got our butts whipped so no excuses from my end! Fortunately I will be at the Rose Garden for the next matchup and will get the atmosphere.
wonder who gets boo'ed louder at the next game: k*be or ariza?

To answer your question, it is obviously Kobe because you did not spell Ariza, *riza so that’s how I know
well i was tempted to go with something like @riz@, but that just looks kinda dumb

No Question
Ariza is no longer welcome in the Rose Garden. When he returns, he will be booed louder than he can imagine. Blazer fans are a sporting bunch, but we don’t tolerate players who hurt/cheapshot ours.

Portland takes the l*kers more seriously then any other team in the league,
if we only had 4 win a season, as long as they were against the l*kers, everything would be allright. Inversly, if we had your record and lost to the lkrs, then the fanbase would be calling for the coaches job and or trades

Awww, hell, we'd call for Nate's job and trades if they lost to the TIMBERWOLVES...

Oh, that would never happen...

RRRRRRROOOOOOOWWWWWRRRRRRSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We've seen Nic make that same play successfully 3 or 4 times this season. Ariza caused a big crash trying for it. It's a contact sport, unfortunate.
Brandon interview: foul wasn’t the issue with Ariza, it was him strutting afterwards.
Pontiff of the Pryz for Prez Posse...
I think if Arizass would have come over to Rudy and seen if he was alright like Farmar
did, nothing would have happened, but his strutting and looking at the crowd caused LMA and Roy to get pissed and say something about it. Plus I think Roy remember all the hard fouls the **kers constantly put on the Blazers and was tired of being pushed around and decided to say something. Roy looked to get really upset once Odom came off the bench to say something to him.
...things go well I might be showing my O face...O...O...O...you know what I'm talking about.
awesome quotes by Roy tonight
He’s really starting to figure this franchise player/leader thing out. I can’t wait to see what this team will be like in the playoffs.

perseption is a lot in this league
Ariza walkin like a trotting horse afterwards is what everyone is upset about. Farmar had the class to check on Rudy First. Props to him. Good game all considered.
He may have been trying for the ball, but a balled up fist and a full swing?
how would he know anyway. Watch the replay slowly – he turns his head. It was careless, and in that situation careless is dangerous and flagrant

"una canasta a Pau en la cara" Rudy
that was actually a really good video you dropped in the other thread btw
it will ultamatly fit Roy much better thow

the reactions were different
Ariza strutted afterwards, Bynum seemed repentant. The fouls were of a similar nature.
draft dejuan blair
I'd say Ariza's was worse
mostly because looking at the replays, he made contact with his elbow on Rudy’s head before coming anywhere near the ball. He was obviously trying to foul, but it looked pretty clear on the replay that he was going after as much Rudy as he could rather than just preventing the layup.
The other issue that makes it worse, though, is considering the point in the game. As an unwritten rule, you simply do not commit that foul when you’re down 28. I understand trying to send a “no easy buckets” message in a close game, but you have to show some degree of restraint in a blowout. The game was pretty much decided at that point, you don’t risk injuring a guy on a meaningless play.
In close game, I’d say it’s a flagrant 1, 2 shots and the ball, Ariza possibly doesn’t get ejected. As is, I’d say he deserves at least a game behind the bench mandated by the league.

The Lakers were rested, on the first game of a road trip, knew and acknowledged their struggles in Portland
And still got embarrassed. When the game got tough the lakers resorted to contested jump shots while the Blazers attacked the rim. No way we are the 8th seed, but I would love to face the lakers in the playoffs.
Karma
very true sabas, and kobe told nate he was gona end that streak in portland
you can bet the lakers will play their hardest next game vs us in april, this game is a preview of what blazer laker games are gona be like next few years.
An 8th seed would be unsettling after this season
But beating LA in 7 and moving on sure would make up for it.

I'll take 4
and get them in the second round.

He WAS right
A LEASE means entering into a long term contract to rent that soul. L@ker fans don’t dare do that, because they know they are likely to lose the thing at any moment.
When I rule the world, everyone will know how to use Excel.
of course they do!
Do you have any idea how expensive it is to own a soul outright in LA? You’d better be regular Mephisto mister.
"Bayless is awesome." -Clyde Drexler
from an ex-L*ker fan... very decent post..
that being said, if i see you around the RG in LA gear for the April game, trust that I’ll heckle you fully.. nothing personal; it is what you must expect coming into our house..

thats good
I’m sure it will be a much closer game in April.. but I don’t know if you guys can break this streak this year..
of course.. I don’t know when the Blazers will be able to win at Staples either so..

Thanks, but ...
How can you be a L*ker fan when every time somebody (read the Portland Trailblazers) gets out on them by twenty or thirty, they start chipping and Flagrant Two’ing.
I personally hope we get to play L*kers in the WCF and completely dominate them. I want that freaking team to implode!
Hey, but thanks for the good wishes.
The answer is: This is the first time ALL YEAR the Lakers have been down "by twenty or thirty," so it's not really an issue...

Funny
that’s so awesome it was the PTB to do it to them. What a victory.
that proud feeling after SA is on a whole nother level tonight.

Comparison
LA’s worst loss this year compared to Tim Duncan’s biggest deficit in his entire career. I think the S.A. accomplishment is a bigger one.
