Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 2: PELICANS @ BLAZERS - APRIL 17, 2018, TUESDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), TNT & NBCSNW

[B-Roy]

Oh fucking boy.

 

[Nikolokolus]

this is literally a repeat of game 1. that points to coaching

It's also matchups . . . matchups that don't favor the Blazers.

 

[LuckyShot]

Why do we keep running Dame into double teams in the P&R

If Dame is the one calling for the picks than he's dumber than I thought, if Terry is the one calling the action he's as dumb as I thought

Because it's literally 99% of our offense. And Stotts is an idiot who lives on his players bailing his ass out by making hero plays.

 

[DDolla]

It’s over folks... Happy Summer!

 

[illmatic99]

this is over

 

[Sarni]

If we lose here I don’t really see a chance for us to come back into this series.

 

[Cippy91]

Yeah put wade Baldwin in, good choice...

I don’t hate on stotts normally but this guy has been bad for these two playoff games. So bad. After years he still hasn’t figured out a way for Dame when he’s getting doubled and tripled out on the perimeter. Absolutely nothing. I don’t get it

 

[Titan]

A third turnover now

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

This team makes me wanna pull my hair out

 

[trailblazer18]

Ian Clark hates us so much!

 

[AFully22]

In a weird way a sweep may be better than winning a game or two because it would encourage change this off season, hopefully.

 

[kingslayer]

lol

 

[LuckyShot]

Dame could fix this constant hedging against him very quickly. When the big jumps out, he needs to go right through it. The big is moving and it would be a foul. Instead, Dame is stopping or retreating away from it. Twice right through that and they wouldn't do it again.

Counting on the refs to call it is shaky though. Chances are good they let them hip check Dame to the floor and they run off the other way with the ball for a dunk.

 

[VenomXL]

Going with the unedited Sabotage. Hearing fuck on the TV is appropriate for my mood right now.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Can't stand any more. Worked so hard for 3 seed and home court only to throw it away.

We should have tanked. I’d rather miss the playoffs than get swept by New Orleans.

 

[BonesJones]

We can't defend to save our lives.

 

[julius]

so, what moves are the blazers going to not do this summer?

 

[B-Roy]

lol

Thank god.

 

[illmatic99]

gonna be a painful 6 months

 

[Nikolokolus]

This is one of those series where the best player on the floor isn't on the Blazers. That's a problem.

 

[FlashWad]

After this we have two games left in our season. Enjoy them folks! I will be looking forward to the new coach search this summer.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Zach Collins gives me life.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Because it's literally 99% of our offense. And Stotts is an idiot who lives on his players bailing his ass out by making hero plays.

Haven't seen a single set or any action in the half court where Dame is working off the ball in the second half. It's pathetic coaching/game plan

Watch GS - Kerr is always working to get Curry or Klay moving off ball for open looks.

 

[ripcityboy]

......

 

[SportsAndWhine]

This is one of those series where the best player on the floor isn't on the Blazers. That's a problem.

It’s a winning strategy: “when in doubt have the best player.”

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

This is one of those series where the best player on the floor isn't on the Blazers. That's a problem.

or the second best.....

 

[rotary111]

Dame missing shots he can hit with his eyes closed. He's either hurt or just plain tired from a combination of things. Zach with another solid game is a bonus.

 

[julius]

gonna be a painful 6 months

well, on the plus side maybe the group trying to bring baseball to Portland will give us something to talk about?

Because if the last 3 summers have been any indication, the Blazers won't.

 

[BigGameDamian]

AD is too much

 

[MickZagger]

We haven't been getting the home calls thats for sure
