the biggest issue will be the refs kissing their ass at the direction of nate silverI remember I kept fading the Halos but they kept winning. Granted Kobe was not a active player but the emotional effect looks even bigger. Next game on Friday.

after all by most accounts 2 of kobe titles were ref aided, see Portland in 2000 and Sac in 2002
both gay
Doubt it. They will come out charged with emotion for first game back and after that will be too far removed from the shock to matter much. Can totally see them winning big on Friday and saying this was for Kobe and LA
A rare poor call from WildBill.
Final score: Blazers 127 Lakers 119.
Portland wins outright as a 13-point underdog.
Damian Lillard went for 48.
Honestly this was way more lillard than the lakers being flat. He was full steph curry hot. 30+ with a hand in his face.Lakers definitely looked flat and didn't have it at the end. Let's see if this becomes a downtrend for them, need a quick response tonight or they will start getting close to the pack.
Lillard is just ridiculous right now. His penchant for 35 to 40 footers seems crazy but he hits them at a nearly 40% rate. Anyone else takes them and you think bad shot but he does it and you just think that's Dame.
