What’s the buzz on Twitter?

FINAL: Blazers 127, Lakers 115.
It wasn’t even really this close. Blazers picked the Lakers apart with their shooting. Dame finishes with 40, 30 of which came in the first half. AD with 19 points and 20 rebounds, but not particularly impactful. This team needs LeBron back. – 12:13 AM

Final: Blazers 127, Lakers 115
The LeBron-less Lakers split their road trip, falling to 26-32. Anthony Davis had 19 points, 20 rebounds + 3 blocks. D’Angelo Russell had 16 points + 4 assists. The Blazers made 23 of 47 3s (48.9%). Dame had 40/6/5.
Up next: vs. NOP on Wednesday. – 12:13 AM

Well… the Lakers got a huge win in San Francisco on Saturday. Hard to be too upset about 1-1 on the road without Bron against two possible playoff teams.
Get Bron back Wednesday and finish strong heading into the break. – 11:10 PM

Not surprising @LeBron James is sitting this one out tonight at Moda Center.
A visit to the Super Bowl can take it out of anybody. – 10:12 PM

Last week, I got to be in the building to witness LeBron make history. Then I got to watch Juju Watkins hoop for the first time.
Delectable few days of work.

On Spurs rookie Malaki Branham, a former Ohio Mr. Basketball, set to play his first pro game in his home state. No pressure, coming from LeBron James’ alma mater.

lebron’s foot injury may be a big deal. the looming all-star break makes it less of an immediate concern, but the fact that he hasn’t played since he broke the record, on a team that badly needs him to if they want to qualify *for the play-in*, is not great – 4:03 PM

LeBron wasn’t asked by TNT about his foot injury after setting the NBA scoring record! Missed two games since. And now FOX doesn’t ask Mahomes the most important question about his ankle injury. Anyone know a real reporter looking for TV work!? – 10:25 PM

His hand on his back had no effect on his route! This game was too damn good for that call to dictate the outcome at the end. Damn! By the way I have no horse in the race. Just my professional opinion – 10:14 PM

More on this storyline
SpringHill, the production company backed by LeBron James, is laying off about 5% of its workforce as part of a wider reorganization, according to multiple people familiar with the process. The company is eliminating roughly 10 jobs as part of the restructuring, which will ultimately result in a larger staff, said one of the people, who was granted anonymity because the details are private. -via Sportico / February 13, 2023
SpringHill was valued at $725 million in 2021 when Nike and RedBird Capital invested. As part of the reorganization, the company is looking to add roughly two dozen new people in sales and creative jobs to grow the firm’s brand consultancy. -via Sportico / February 13, 2023
