Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 1: PELICANS @ BLAZERS - APRIL 14, 2018, SATURDAY, 7:30 PM PDT, ESPN & NBCSNW

[MarAzul]

Literally 3 plays in a row he hit the open man.

Going to the rim?

 

[BonesJones]

I'm going to try to learn how to enjoy the pain. It's sad that being a Sadistic Blazer Fan might be the most satisfying.

 

[TBpup]

Switching is not supposed to be part of our defensive scheme though. The switching is not because of Stotts, it's because of our players.

If they aren't listening to the coach, then he has lost them and needs to go.

 

[The Professional Fan]

At least the Timbers, should...maybe...win?

Just wait but yes we need 3pts desperately

 

[Gronk Brady]

We have the most overpaid players in the NBA

Not my money but god damn

Well it is your money if you buy over priced tickets to go to game... they don’t deserve fans hard earned money with efforts like tonight

 

[Strenuus]

Going to the rim?

Yep.

 

[Strenuus]

How about play defense

 

[DUB]

Stotts shouldn't allow it. Why do other teams switch less? Because their coach makes them stay solid.

Right now, how can he stop it?

 

[kingslayer]

Now we're cooking.

 

[Strenuus]

LETS GO.

 

[TBpup]

That's the extent of the Blazers offense. A no-pass PnR with a pull up jumper from 26'. Ugh!

 

[KingSpeed]

9 minutes left. Anyone's game. Team that wants it most will win.

 

[Cippy91]

Wow they woke up. Let’s hope it’s not too late though

 

[Magoo]

BIG MAMA

IN THE GAME!!

 

[BonesJones]

COME ON!!!!

 

[TBpup]

There we go....hit a couple shots and get some momentum!!!!!

 

[theprunetang]

We need to go back to the Dame/ Nurk or Ed pick and roll.

 

[illmatic99]

Collins is our best player today

 

[BonesJones]

Wow they woke up. Let’s hope it’s not too late though

They have time.

Oh no. Don't buy-in Bones. Your walls can't handle it.

 

[KingSpeed]

27 bench points

 

[Lukee]

DEFENSE

 

[KingSpeed]

Collins is our best player today

he is

 

[BonesJones]

Collins is our best player today

Definitely. His defense has been phenominal. He might be the best option to guard Davis.

 

[MarAzul]

Yep.

and I see the stat improve. but 11 over 5 is still pretty poor. It was 9 over 1 when I made the post.
Keep this improvement up and we lead soon.

 

[KingSpeed]

Lots and lots of time left.

 

[Strenuus]

Please just play defense.

 

[rotary111]

Man Zach is really gonna be special in a year or so. He came to play. Big games don't seem to phase him.

 

[BonesJones]

Alvin Gentry with a smart, very un-Stotts like timeout.

 

[KingSpeed]

Pat Connaughton is a +13

He plays better in big games.
