[Chris Craig]

Looks like Anfernee is back again and maybe Jabari

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Looks like Anfernee is back again and maybe Jabari

Bah! No more wins please or else I'm going to throw up.

 

[Cugel]

why does a guy 6ft 7 guy go up and do a wimpy layup attempt on a fastbreak that gets rejected? Come on Murray, get mad. Fucking dunk. He plays with zero fight.

 

[Whyachi]

Banton nice oop to Ayton

 

[Whyachi]

Toumani just stuffed Zion

 

[Whyachi]

Banton cross & stuff

 

[Whyachi]

Blazers scoring, Pelicans hitting. Good start to this battle

 

[OneSport3]

Usually the Pelicans have too much length for us. It’s refreshing to see us having the length to match up against them.

 

[Whyachi]

Billups interview. We'll miss about 4 plays

 

[Whyachi]

Hey look... Blazers pushed picture in picture button. WOW

 

[Labinot41]

[Whyachi]

Ayton hammer jam, Blazers up 1

 

[Labinot41]

Ayton beastin

 

[Cugel]

Becoming a big DA fan.

 

[Whyachi]

Blazers shooting 64%, 40%

 

[Whyachi]

Scoot elbowed Alvorado right in the chops

 

[kjironman1]

So Rupert this game.

 

[Cugel]

dont like this lineup in now.

 

[Whyachi]

Zion gettin to the rack

 

[kjironman1]

Pelicans showing off their #1 draft pick too!

 

[Whyachi]

Blazers playing with energy. Good scrappy action. Couple oopsies, but hanging right with NoLa

 

[Labinot41]

Warriors vs Lakers in 1 hour, huge Game

 

[Cugel]

Zion is awfully hard to guard.

 

[Whyachi]

Zion 7-7 fg

 

[Whyachi]

Banton gettin buckets

 

[Cugel]

Go at him on the other end. Make him play defense to tire him out.

 

[Whyachi]

vicious Zion alley-opp
Coach Billups needs timeout

 

[Labinot41]

dont let these guys punk us Chauncey

 

[Whyachi]

even Lamar Hurd was impressed. That's rare when he stops talking about Blazers
