Game Thread GAME# 47: PELICANS @ BLAZERS - JANUARY 18, 2019 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM, NBCSNW

[Darkwebs]

Blazers put in Jake. You can wave that white flag now, New Orleans.

 

[crandc]

Chalupas...oops, dating myself

 

[TBpup]

I heard some "Jake" chants.

 

[LuckyShot]

Jake even opens up lobs for his teammates just by being nearby.

 

[LuckyShot]

Oh that was pretty.

 

[riverman]

Can't wait to tell the Pels in the spring to "have a nice summer"

 

[LuckyShot]

Jake comes in and we immediately get two layups in a row.

 

[DUB]

No Rondo, no NOLA.

 

[illmatic99]

Jusuf has gotten so good. Fuck you, universe.

 

[BlazerBeav]

This is really good basketball from the home team tonight. Quality entertainment!

 

[hoopsjock]

What's awesome about what Jake did is that Jrue Holiday their best perimeter defender has guarded Jake the two offensive possessions since he came in. That puts a much worse defender on Dame. I can't emphasize enough how important that would be to this team taking the next step.

 

[LuckyShot]

Nurk going to beg Stotts to play the entire 4th with Jake and Dame to get another triple double.

 

[DUB]

Chalupas...oops, dating myself

I sort of miss Chalupa Luke, just for the nickname.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Nurk is turning into the Andre Miller of centers

 

[DDolla]

Great news, we are up after 3.

Jake in the post? Cross-screen for Jake?

 

[riverman]

Man we're deep when we play like this

 

[illmatic99]

I sort of miss Chalupa Luke, just for the nickname.

Poor Babs

Good basketball....and the crowd has responded. Even in many wins this year, it was quite boring....and very quiet.

 

[BonesJones]

Nurk is turning into the Andre Miller of centers

I dont understand but yes haha

 

[riverman]

Nurk is turning into the Andre Miller of centers

Marcus Camby threw a mean lob too

 

[DUB]

Jusuf has gotten so good. Fuck you, universe.

You just had to say it. Now the universe will fuck us back with an ACL.

 

[LayneStaley]

I heard some "Jake" chants.

The Marcus Camby chant was my favorite all time, I’ll never forget that game.

 

[TBpup]

Exactly right. Little things like that make easier opportunities for teammates.

 

[ripcityboy]

Turtles are nasty ass fucking animals.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I dont understand but yes haha

His lobs are on point!

 

[TBpup]

Layman got fouled on that 2nd '3'.

 

[LuckyShot]

We're like... +5 in the fouls department this quarter...

Edit: Since the Gentry tech.

 

[LayneStaley]

Jake needs a couple dunks to get the 3 ball going

 

[BonesJones]

Stotts has coached a pretty clean game tonight. His defensive gameplan has been pretty good at neutralizing Davis without giving up points elsewhere. Wish we had a defensive gameplan like this in last years playoffs.
