GAME THREAD: PELICANS @ BLAZERS - 12/21/13, SATURDAY, 7 PM, KGW

haha what a lucky bounce.

 

[Natebishop3]

That happens when the opponent games plans specifically for LA. After the half, Stotts has more time to make adjustments.

He's getting shots though... they're just not falling for him. His shot has been off a bit. If his hand was really bothering him, that would explain a lot.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Davis misses a bunny. Yikes.

 

[Natebishop3]

Nice shot by Wes there.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

We$!!!

 

[Strenuus]

That was nice Wes.

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

Matthews got away with a massive travel there

 

[BrianFromWA]

Mouse in the house!

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Wes is SO much better this year. His post ups, his drives, he's just better now that he's got Stotts system down.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

hahhahahahahahaaaa

 

[Natebishop3]

I like Anthony Davis... but he sure doesn't seem like the best power forward in the game to me.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

hoop fam

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

I love that, when teams cut of the Dame/LA pick'n'roll, and they give it to Batum to run it on the other side with Lopez. So effective.

I don't think he is even top 5

 

[Natebishop3]

ROLOPEZ!

 

[Strenuus]

Very nice Lopez.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

LOPEZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

RObin LOpez. BEAST MODE!

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

I don't think he is even top 5

That might be a little exaggerated now that I think about it.

 

[Natebishop3]

I don't think he is even top 5

Some people were trying to make the case that he's better than LA or Love.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

I don't think he is even top 5

He's extremely long and quick and athletic for a PF. But still pretty raw for MVP talk.

 

[Natebishop3]

They've been hitting LA on the followthrough with no call.

 

[BrianFromWA]

NOP Annoucers: "You can score on this team--they gave up 115 per game on the trip, winning 3 of 4. They're just outscoring teams."

Me: You're down 5.

 

[Strenuus]

LMA forced that up.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

BATUM SPLASH!!!

 

[Natebishop3]

NOP is finally starting to look like a lotto team.

 

[Natebishop3]

That was PRETTY!

 

[julius]

Much better. Sometimes I wish the team would START the games like this.

 

[BrianFromWA]

...and that's how it's done.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

oh..I guess this is the third, huh?
