Trail Blazers Vs. Lakers Game Thread


Not only are the Lakers an older team in the NBA (their starting backcourt: Nash and Bryant are aged 38 and 34 years respectively) but they will have already played a game the night before in Los Angeles. Portland needs to take advantage of not only their youthful legs but of L.A.'s tired ones as well. If the Trail Blazers can rack up 20 fast-break points, they should be in fantastic shape. Also, the Lakers have arguably the best Starting 5 in the NBA, but their bench? It leaves a lot to be desired. Push the tempo and force Coach Mike Brown to make more substitutions, getting those starters off the court for as long as possible.

So Rip City, what are your keys to victory Continue>>>
