Will Lakers Go Into Tyler Skaggs Mode?

I 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.
 
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

the biggest issue will be the refs kissing their ass at the direction of nate silver

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.

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.

Honestly this was way more lillard than the lakers being flat. He was full steph curry hot. 30+ with a hand in his face.

Yet there was plenty of rust with the extra long layoff.

The Clipper game the night before was a dead give away regarding potential Laker performance. Doc said it was hard to
play and was about as emotional as anyone I saw. They had a pre-game Kobe in memory as well.
