Today Trail Blazers reporter Chad Doing talked about the Trail Blazers' upcoming game against the Lakers during a live broadcast on the podcast "Rip City Radio".

"In the game against the Clippers, they only shot 37% from the field and the three-point shooting was not ideal (11-41), but I think that is just because of poor shooting. However, I believe they will rebound and perform better against the Lakers. This is a very critical game against the Lakers today because the Lakers are missing LeBron (right sciatica) and Doncic Qi (left finger sprain and left leg contusion). If the Trail Blazers are really improving, it is really difficult to play such a game when the role players are not in good condition, but the lack of stable scoring points at critical moments. Of course, the shooting touch will be up and down, and things will get better once the rhythm is restored. Doing said.
