Game Thread GAME# 57: PELICANS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 21, 2020 - FRIDAY, 7:30 PM, ESPN & NBCSNW

Swanigan is hustler but he so clumsy though.

 

[DDolla]

NBA: We need Zion in the playoffs

Refs: OK, we will call every foul when he touch the ball.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I'm not sure we had any assists in the second quarter. Can anyone confirm?

 

[hoopsjock]

Now it's Simons' turn to just stand there unaware as his man goes in for a rebound and gets an offensive rebound, bucket, and another foul on one of the bigs. Just a complete lack of effort and awareness is the difference this game (and most of the season).

Details matter!

Which is weird because Dame is a proven playoff superstar. They should want him in the playoffs.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Imagine if a dame could get the same calls from the refs that Zion already gets?

 

[James lamphear]

Trent had pretty good half 10 points and playing good D. CJ actually had a good half. Melo good on offense and know effort on D. But do got some young players that actually play some D in Trent Gabriel Little and you can put Zach in there too.

Do you see all the hype in Zion? ESPN crew talked about him for 20 straight minutes before the game not mentioning any Blazers lol

 

[B-Roy]

Melo with a clean -16.

It’s crazy that Zion and Biggie look like they have the same body.

Caleb’s body is powered by coal. Zion’s got a nuclear reactor.

Simons had one at the 8:07 mark. That's the only one I found in the play by play for the Blazers in the 2nd quarter.

 

[Bruno_Sabino]

Cj needs to carry us we still in this game

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Trent had pretty good half 10 points and playing good D. CJ actually had a good half. Melo good on offense and know effort on D. But do got some young players that actually play some D in Trent Gabriel Little and you can put Zach in there too.

I wish we could put Zach in there.

I think that's it. Shocking.

This why he gets the calls because of the hype. There few calls wasn't actually fouls.

No doubt if we win, they will just talk about what Zion needs to learn from this experience.

Luckily for us, he missed half his FTs.

 

[DDolla]

Reading about Katy and you still have to pay for subscriptions lol

 

[blazerfan11]

Is dell curry sitting in the front row on the 110-111 aisle? If that's him, what's he doing here?

 

[wizenheimer]

I can't tell for sure, but it may be that better defense was played in the all-star game than Portland is playing tonight.....yeeeeesh

 

[BlazerBeav]

He missed some of them, but we are running out of fouls to give.

 

[James lamphear]

I wish we could put Zach in there.

I think Zach will do good on Zion. His length plus he moves his feet on defense plus he usually he plays hard on that end but we will never know until next year.

 

[TBpup]

To be fair, Dame is one of the league leaders in FT attempted and made.

 

[TBpup]

Melo guarding Zion....lol....

 

[B-Roy]

Foul him Melo.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Carmelo owning Zion on both sides of the floor.

 

[TBpup]

Melo going back-to-back old school on Zion.

 

[James lamphear]

Good idea make Zion play defense.

 

[DDolla]

Down to 5, time to give Zion some FTs

 

[BlazerBeav]

Foul him Melo.

Melo already has three - we need him in the floor.
