At Utah the. At OKC... now that’s tough. Glad we won tonight

Here comes Debbie Downer olla to try and bring us all down again.

 

[James lamphear]

Really strong game tonight and lead majority of the categories. 6 players in double figures and Nurk double double and bench 42 points and lead by Layman with 20 and Zach had 8/4/4. Tonight 30 assist and only 7 turnovers.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Because we won by more than 10 you also owe me multiple salty Pelican fan comments in "The Other Side".

So I do! But right now, I need to go argue with a Mod on another forum. He sent me a notice via PM during the game. My crime: breaking some sort of rule for arguing with a racist.

Send me a PM with the date and time you wanna meet up. The afternoons work best for me, and not this Monday. Sunday, perhaps? Preferably in Vancouver.

I'll update "The Other Side" as soon as I can.

 

[wizenheimer]

it would be hard to be a Pelicans fan because every single time Davis get hit or bumped or dropped, you'd be thinking "oh shit...is it season ending?"

 

[LuckyShot]

Well hell... we're 3rd in the standings in the Western Conference. About as good as we could hope for really.

 

[JDC]

The vibe of this Pelicans team just feels off. Like they know an AD departure is inevitable.

Too many nights they look like they just don't give a shit, especially defensively.

And as good as Randle is offensively, he kills their team defense.

The Layman shot chart....sponsored by KFC Chicken & WAFFLES!! @HCP

I caught that also.

Nice win by the Blazers. Stotts gets his 300 W as Blazers head coach. Way to go Terry!

 

[Pinwheel1]

I would say pretty much every Blazer played well tonight.

 

[Scalma]

What is this shit

 

[LayneStaley]

Come on everyone let’s get back over to the trade ideas thread.

 

[LayneStaley]

Nik didn’t

 

[Scalma]

Mirotic should just stay in Portland

 

[LuckyShot]

Nice win by the Blazers. Stotts gets his 300 W as Blazers head coach. Way to go Terry!

As much as I disagree with him at times, I appreciate the uptick in ball movement. Thank you.

 

[kjironman1]

Put in Layman and Nurk please

Yeah. Together they do well but Layman was not giving enough defense when Nurk picked up that 5th foul and was out.
I am giving Stotts the benefit of the doubt on that lineup. But i would also have been good with Layman playing beings he earned it in the first half no question. Having Both Collins and Nurk in foul trouble was a tough issue to deal with. Turner and Aminu on the court at the same time can be tough to watch.

 

[kjironman1]

So many nervous Nellies in here tonight. Have more faith in our players.

Yeah that game was in hand. They got within 8 and it was gut check time but that didn't last long.

 

[DUB]

What is this shit

Yeah, that’s just weird.

 

[Scalma]

Third seed baby

 

[kjironman1]

It seems a few of the New Orleans fans might be correct.
Losing Rondo hurt the Pelicans and i think he did do a bit of coaching from the floor. They just don't have the same team without Rondo.

They really don't. They lost to GS a few nights ago, and they held a 16 point lead in that game, last I checked the score online.

That's terrible.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Davis: -25
Aminu: +18

Blazers back to a season high 9 games over 500.



3 games ahead of last years pace, and 4 games off the 2014-15 pace (last year with Aldridge). I'm feeling good about the finish to this year. The first unit seems to be really clicking! How long can Layman keep up this run of good games?

 

[LayneStaley]

I just watched highlights and kept noticing Nards freaking out. For all the shit I’ve given him he might be the most fun of all the Blazers to get drunk with.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Yeah that game was in hand. They got within 8 and it was gut check time but that didn't last long.

Yeah other than a stupid shot from Aminu (Who other that that played a great game) after coming back into the game, and a stupid 3 by ET, they played smart after they cut it to 8.
Redundant clutch shots by CJ and Dame were huge.

Blazers beat them pretty good last season towards the end of the year. Just not at the right part of the end of year...

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Third seed baby

And all alone!

 

[Scalma]

Alright Neil get to fucking work

 

[BonesJones]

 

[blazerkor]

That was a good win. We played a playoff caliber team and came out on top. Jake had a first half that was the best of his career and our starters did the rest.
GO BLAZERS!!!
