Excited for Lakers-Blazers tonight. I'd love to see drama in the West with three series (OKC-HOU, LAC-DAL, LAL-POR) all tied 2-2. And I have good feeling Portland wakes up tonight and so does CJ + others not named Lillard (though of course they need Lillard to keep doing his thing)
However, with it being "Mamba Day" (RIP Kobe) and that, I hate to say it but if this is a really close game throughout, they could rig this to gift the Lakers a win. Even the previous game, Portland thoroughly outplayed LA in the 1st half and should have been up 15+ but the refs literally kept LAL in it by giving them nearly a +20 FT advantage.
