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

[PHXBlazer1]

Bold Predictions... Blazers wins the next two games.

Even bolder prediction: Blazers win the next 4 games

 

[SIeepwalker]

God damn that last minute was sad.

I think we still win the series considering the only time we played half decent we came back from 19 down, but man this is disappointing

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Its hard to win a playoff game shooting 38%..we lost by two..I dont think their defense is that good, so I'm not worried at all. AD doesn't even worry me..if we lose this series it'll be because of Rondo

 

[PHXBlazer1]

And one more good thing..20 year old Zach Collins looked ready for the moment..

 

[Mediocre Man]

Well I didn't expect that.

Only home team to lose

Dame can't go 6-23 if we want to win

 

[BonesJones]

Shouldve taken 2 meletonin. Gonna stay up all night now.

 

[Orion Bailey]

I think I saw @Orion Bailey getting a snack at the last timeout.

Possibly. Did i walk away with a pretzel and look all nervous? Its cause they started losing shen i stepped away in the second.
I was like, “ im jinxing them. Must get back to seat asap!”

 

[illmatic99]

I wonder if Terry is losing as much sleep as I am after his decisions during that loss

 

[BrunoSOC]

Gods plan

 

[Lanny]

Did we make the playoffs?

Hey, WAKE UP

 

[Chris Craig]

Controversial take: Crowd was trash tonight.

Yeah I wasnt there

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Hey, WAKE UP

Is this Tom Peterson?

 

[blue9]

So Undisciplined
So UnPrepared
So Lackadaisical
So Stotts

This.

 

[Lanny]

Is this Tom Peterson?

You actually remember him? How about his wife, Gloria?

I use to work swing shift at Tektronix in the late 70s and early 80s supporting a group of technicians. We'd get off work and head for someone's house and drink beer and watch tv. It seemed like every other commercial, and there were many, was a Tom Peterson commercial.

Yes, he used to wake me up knocking on the TV.

I'm so tired of this Bad Shooting Nights. Honestly what the fuck happened to the Offense this year?

That's not a bad question. It's not that we're not capable of good shooting, it's a case of why do we have hot and cold nights?

 

[Chris Craig]

Short Answer: Harkless. With Harkless in the starting 5 not only are the Blazers more confident, it spreads the floor allowing for a better flowing offense. With Harkless the Blazers play fast ball, stealing, running the floor, creating a rythm. Without him the offense becomes a half court stagnated game. Chiefs game went to hell as soon as Harkless got injured because he doesn't have the same space.

 

[Gronk Brady]

Shabazz with 3 turnovers in 14 minutes last night

 

[THE HCP]

We played like shit, they played fantastic, and we lost by only 2. We will be fine. Us in 6 still.

I'm pretty sure. Right outside of sections 222/223? Sometimes there's just nothing like a SuperPretzel.

While I tend to agree with you, you have to consider that we were playing at home.
