GAME THREAD: PELICANS @ BLAZERS - NOVEMBER 17, 2014; MONDAY, 7 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Fez Hammersticks]

Jrue is a fringe starter.

Trading Noel for this guy was a huge mistake.

 

[magnifier661]

New Orleans needs a legit second star.

Evans isn't a star.

Holiday isn't a star.

Anderson isn't a star.

They need another guy to go with Davis. They need a Dame to their Aldridge. They don't have that. If I was New Orleans, I would see if I could package those players for a legit second guy.

Melo should have asked to go to Nola honestly. Davis's defense would save Melo's lack thereof. They would have been scary with Melo and Davis

 

[Scalma]

1. Anthony Davis just might be the best player in the NBA.

2. Terry Stotts needs more recognition, not only in Portland but nationally. The defensive improvement is not an accident

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

The Pelicans should move Eric Gordon to OKC for Perkins and Lamb.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Ok 3 things.

1. Imagine when Davis adds 3 point range to his game?

2. Yet another GREAT defensive effort against a top offensive team. A team that was coming off of a 139 point game.

3. Our bench was great. Another great job playing tough.

1. I thought, "if he's really the best, would I rather have him on a particular team than their star?" Davis instead of Blake Griffin in LA? No doubt. Instead of Dwight Howard in HOU? Obviously. Instead of LeBron in CLE?

Yes. I think so.

I bet they would have went hard after Klay Thompson had he made it to free agency

I don't know how they're going to turn their assets into a second star, though. No team with a guard that good is desperate enough to take on pieces.

 

[PDXFonz]

Imagine If CP3 was still there.

 

[RanYakumo]

Anthony Davis can keep his statline, I'll take the win.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Imagine If CP3 was still there.

Yeah that... Man that's be tough for the rest of the league.

If I was New Orleans, I would try to go after a Dragic, an Irving, or maybe a even Ty Lawson.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Deceiving stay of the night: After starting 8-0 in the first, we played them basically even the rest of the game, out scoring them by one.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

If I was New Orleans, I would try to go after a Dragic, an Irving, or maybe a even Ty Lawson.

Dragic was my first thought.

 

[Natebishop3]

Dragic was my first thought.

Right now, I would make anyone available not named Davis to try to bring in another star player. Phoenix wanted Eric Gordon pretty bad when he was a free agent. Maybe they would go for it again.

Imagine Cleveland having Davis instead of Love?!

Stfu dude!!!! We don't want them to be too good! We need our window. Nola will have their window later

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Jrue was 0-9 in the 4th

Anti-clutch

 

[Sinobas]

Mo Williams is shooting 16% from 3 and 34% overall in Minny this year. So glad we got rid of that bum! I remember actually thinking last year about how we might be better off with a guy like Blake....but honestly, did not expect Blake to be this good for us.

 

[Sinobas]

Davis is better than Durant, because he's a force on both ends. Who else is such a force on both ends?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I haven't seen a player like him since David Robinson or Karl Malone. Maybe Hakeem?

 

[Natebishop3]

It's not going to happen. Realistically they need to fall into the lottery again so they can grab a lead guard.

 

[Natebishop3]

Not the same position, but young Chris Paul was pretty fucking amazing on both ends of the floor.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Davis is what Sabas would have been for us in 1986.

 

[magnifier661]

I haven't seen a player like him since David Robinson or Karl Malone. Maybe Hakeem?

Malone wasn't a good defender.

I don't know why people forget how Good KG was. That's who Davis reminds me of. And he doesn't have KGs pussy attitude.

He's a man

 

[BlazerCaravan]

He's LaMarcus to KG's Rasheed?

 

[Natebishop3]

I wonder if Boston would take Holiday/Evans for Rondo/G-Wall?

 

[magnifier661]

I wonder if Boston would take Holiday/Evans for Rondo/G-Wall?

Now that would be a perfect player for an Anthony Davis

 

[BlazerCaravan]

It's tough to hate the Pelicans... Though Evans and Holiday would drive me up the fucking wall if I were a real fan.
