Time to pay Portland back for the last couple of years. Time to send them back where they belong in the western conference.

Time to pay Portland back for the last couple of years. Time to send them back where they belong in the western conference. They always play us tough in Portland even when we were at the top. Tonight I expect us to come out with the W. Need to set the tone from game 1 and put everybody in the league on notice that we're coming after them. |

Mo Harkless kicked our ass last year but he is just coming off injury so I don't know his timing and conditioning. Also Lakers bench is one of the best and Portland's bench is one of the worst. Even though the Lakers have not yet played 10 games together and they are on the road, I'll take the Lakers to win against Portland on the road. Push the tempo!

It's not going to be easy. Portland has not lost a home opener since 2001 against......the Shaq-Kobe-Rice Lakers team. I wouldn't be surprised if we lose a tough one tonight. Dame always lights us up in Portland. I won't panic if we lose this one, but I'll be super pumped if we can pull out a W.

A road win in Portland would be a nice way to open the season. Game 1 of 82 is more anybody's game between these two squads. Lakers have better team but also new pieces. Blazers pretty much same almost 50 win team, also same team that got swept by Pelicans. They will honor their owner who recently passed, their crowd will be all fired up for season opener vs Lakers. I still expect a Lakers W all things considered.
Next Lakers game is the home opener Saturday in LA vs Houston. That's an early statement opportunity. Crowd gonna be amped up

I clearly remember that game. Portland fans called that game the “5th quarter” in reference to the Lakers coming back in game 7 of the 2000 WCF the year before and going on to win the first championship of the Shaw/Kobe era. Blazers lost that game too. |

Probably the most exciting 30 seconds into an opener I've ever witnessed...
Ridiculous start.
