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

[UKRAINEFAN]

Has he forgotten how to dunk?

 

[MightyMouseOps1]

Live with Rondo trying to score. Rondo is not going to beat us as a scorer.

 

[tykendo]

Good half. Quality defense in that second quarter. If Dame starts hitting shots, Blazers can blow the Pels out.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Welp... what are we going to do for points in the 2nd half? Aminu ain't going to shoot 4-5 from 3 again.

Play Harkless more and Turner less, hopefully.

 

[BlazerBeav]

This is some bullshit officiating. We have 8 more points in the paint, yet somehow it's 12-2 in FTA.

 

[illmatic99]

everything going NO's way

 

[DDolla]

WTF is wrong with DAME?

Not getting rest probably for being first time Dad

 

[KingSpeed]

Hey guys. Checking in. So we can't shoot again so we decide to start dunking and the Aminu hits threes. Dame is missing in action as a shooter. Harkless was awesome.

 

[Rhal]

Rondo going to the line for that foul on Turner when the refs up to that point were allowing TONS of grabbing and shoving was pretty bs.

 

[MightyMouseOps1]

Put Harkless on Holiday.

 

[KingSpeed]

Why Nurkic Never dunks ????? Why??????

He had one dunk

 

[trailblazer18]

Seriously, where is Dame at? Glad he has dished a lot on the PnR.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Play Harkless more and Turner less, hopefully.

Hopefully Stotts has been saving Harkless for more minutes in the second half.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Why Nurkic Never dunks ????? Why??????

He has a vicious dunk. Are we not watching the same game?

 

[LuckyShot]

11 to 2 discrepancy by my count.

Would have had 2 more except that their 5th foul of the quarter was their "1st of the last 2 minutes". Which seems like a bullshit rule when it actually allows them an extra foul. I thought that rule was so teams would only have to foul twice if they only had, say, 1 team foul at the end of the game and they wanted to stop the clock and make the other team shoot FTs.

 

[BonesJones]

Welp... what are we going to do for points in the 2nd half? Aminu ain't going to shoot 4-5 from 3 again.

We need to play better defense. Not score more.

 

[Chris Craig]

Ok. Halftime. We are leading. I don't know how. 1 ) Blazers need to stop making stupid mistakes. 2.) Refs need to start calling a fair game. Blazers got to the line once the whole half, and the Pelicants well I lost count.

 

[chzbrgr]

Never seen dame no show this hard when it matters. Really should be eye opening for everyone

 

[illmatic99]

Rondo is hitting threes and Dame can't click on wide open floaters. WTF is going on?

 

[Titan]

Nurk's power is gone. Who took his powers?

 

[illmatic99]

Nurk's power is gone. Who took his powers?

Who took Dame's powers? He looks gimpy and out of sorts

 

[chzbrgr]

Nurk's power is gone. Who took his powers?

Same person who took dames talent

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Playoff Rondo... sure would be nice to have...

 

[Chris Craig]

11 to 2 discrepancy by my count.

I think pelicants have more than that

 

[LuckyShot]

Seriously, where is Dame at? Glad he has dished a lot on the PnR.

He's getting double teamed every time he touches the damn ball, and we keep bringing that second defender to him by setting ball screens so...

 

[VenomXL]

Remember the beating Dame took in the fourth quarter of that Jazz game? I wonder if he's still feeling that.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I mean... I expected their FRONTcourt to dominate ours, but I never expected their backcourt to do so.

Is Holiday really this good?

 

[LuckyShot]

We need to play better defense. Not score more.

Agreed on that point.

 

[BonesJones]

Refs are doing a very poor job.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I wish Turner had been in that fucking pool when that truck sailed into it.
