"Dame and CO are 1-7, so you see what NOP is trying to do"...

Um, Dame was 1-2 at the time with 2 passes to open shooters that should've been assists.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Im almost completely convinced at this point that CJ is either hurt and not saying anything or there is something going on in his personal life

 

[BonesJones]

Someone tell Stotts it's the playoffs, he's using the exact same rotation

I assume the rotation will tighten in the 2nd half.

 

[TBpup]

Will be interesting to see what the line-up is when the full bench is in. They are going to need to hit some shots.

 

[crandc]

Can't give the Pelicans hope.

 

[H.C.]

Who knew Turner would be scoring so well...nice!

Similar to 2011 when Portland played the Mavs late in the season.
They kept small guards in and Portland took advantage of it. Many used it as why Dallas didn't match up well with Portland.

Only difference is Carlisle is 100x the coach Gentry is.

Yeah.. Nope defense has given us great looks. We shoot like we normally do, were up 10.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Refs letting a lot go. We need to realize that.

Playoffs

CJ has had some wide open looks, he can't hit chit so far, he's gotta step it up

 

[Strenuus]

BALDWIN IN!!!

 

[Jade Falcon]

CJ doesn't play defense, he can't hit a shot......bench him. He's a liability otherwise.

 

[BonesJones]

Thankfully New Orleans has probably the worst bench out of all playoff teams.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Wade sighting

 

[BonesJones]

Holiday and Davis off, need a run here.

 

[BonesJones]

Fucking Pat.

 

[Jade Falcon]

If Baldwin is in, I have a feeling that he's gonna stay in the rotation until CJ steps out of this funk.

 

[H.C.]

Good D wb4.

 

[TBpup]

Baldwin....yes! Now do something positive.

 

[BonesJones]

Holiday and Davis off, need a run here.

Scratch that, Holidays in.

 

[kingslayer]

Can't buy a bucket right now

 

[Cippy91]

Offense not looking good at all

 

[H.C.]

Zach be ready to shoot.

 

[TBpup]

Wade with good D and then knock that rebound away from a Pel to Dame.

 

[LuckyShot]

Wake up stop playing like pussies!

 

[BonesJones]

Nobody can hit a shot.

 

[Strenuus]

That is sessy.

 

[LameR]

So, slightly off-topic...I moved to Cincinnati a month or so ago and don't have TV and the 620 radio thing isn't working for me (playing Fox Sports stuff). Anyone have a radio link or other way listen in?

 

[DUB]

GOLD TO AUSTRALIA!!!

Fulltime Commonwealth Games Men's Basketball Gold Medal Game
Australia - 87
Canada - 47

 

[TBpup]

Wade with nice patience to get Zach a good post up.

 

[BonesJones]

That shot by Zach is pretty.
