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

[KeepOnRollin]

...so then the team will average even less assists than they do now?!

Might as well. We are already last in the NBA in assists.

 

[Cippy91]

No ball movement still. It’s like the panic strategy for us. Give the ball to dame and cj and hope they can become gods down the stretch. No. Move the ball. That’s how you get looks and succeed

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Seriously these fucking refs are killing us

 

[kingslayer]

Another possession for the Pelicans saved by the refs

 

[B-Roy]

Our offense wastes 10 seconds trying to get a switch but it never works. Then someone isos.

Holy fucking shit.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

God the refs are utter ass

 

[H.C.]

5 on 8 all night.

 

[VenomXL]

Is this was Philly these refs would have already caught a battery in the head.

 

[PDXFonz]

Collins should have started this game

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Blazers need to shift Aminu to SF and put Collins in to start at PF.

Bury ET on the end of the bench.

 

[LuckyShot]

This game being refereed by the three blind mice is just the perfect cherry on top of our shit sandwich of a performance.

 

[Sarni]

They are running away again

 

[A$AP Meyers]

You guys realize that our point guard who claims he is 1st team All NBA is getting embarrassed by Rajon Rondo in 2018 on his home floor. Rondo has taken Dame to the hole two straight possessions

 

[BigGameDamian]

You know who would have helped in this series...DeAndre Jordan. Good thing we didn't take any chances though.

 

[Cippy91]

This has been quite entertaining lurking here the last couple games. You guys are some really bipolar dudes though. Just be tough playing or coaching for y'all

What do we have here? State your reasons for being here sir?!?!

 

[Jason W Strickland]

Well, this team needs somebody tough!

What I meant was y'all like Rob Schneider from The Waterboy. One minute "Yoouu can dooo it!" Two possessions later"Cut his fucking head off!"

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I’m over CJ.

Problem with trying to move him now is, despite the points he’s putting up, he just looks like a black hole and no D.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

No inside presence without Nurk... hurting us rn offensively

 

[LuckyShot]

Our offense wastes 10 seconds trying to get a switch but it never works. Then someone isos.

Holy fucking shit.

Meanwhile our defense switches at the first hint of a screen and then just lets the other team have their way with the mismatch while the other 4 defenders stand with their hands in their pockets. Or we just let the ball defender get picked and give no help until it's way too late, if at all.

 

[Jason W Strickland]

What do we have here? State your reasons for being here sir?!?!

Just here for the party

 

[Haakzilla]

Might as well. We are already last in the NBA in assists.

...CJ is turning into black hole, like we are watching dueling heroes out there instead of teammates. Awesome stuff, hope they can pull this out!

 

[A$AP Meyers]

No inside presence without Nurk... hurting us rn offensively

You're implying we had an inside presence with Nurkic in the game earlier.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

What I meant was y'all like Rob Schneider from The Waterboy. One minute "Yoouu can dooo it!" Two possessions later"Cut his fucking head off!"

I don't think we are bi-polar; we are usually talking about two different guys.

 

[B-Roy]

I'm done with Terry. He's a fine coach, but sometimes you need a new voice in the locker room.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Make up call

 

[LuckyShot]

Blazers need to shift Aminu to SF and put Collins in to start at PF.

Bury ET on the end of the bench.

Was thinking that before tonight, but you know Stotts won't make any actual adjustments until we are down by 3 games.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

This game has already taken years off of my life.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Zach Collins rushing a 3 from the corner with AD contesting him is a great shot out of the timeout Terry

 

[Cippy91]

zach Lowe was right about aminu on Anthony Davis.

 

[LuckyShot]

I'd like to see us try to push the pace a little when Davis misses and lingers under the basket because he's pissed he didn't get a call. It's literally the only time he's not standing directly under the rim on defense.
