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

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

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

Been thinking it for some time. I thought the way Stotts sometimes test rookies in bigger roles (like he did with Caleb earlier in the year), I thought we’d have seen it weeks ago.

 

[LuckyShot]

LOL. Zach was fouled twice on that drive, but luckily Harkless was there. Mirotic hacked him and Davis jumped into him.

 

[Cippy91]

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

Calm down. He is first team of you look at his season as a whole. He’s getting schemed against. We aren’t doing the same for holiday. Chill

 

[julius]

Sometimes I feel like the team is playing to get their coach fired.

 

[Jason W Strickland]

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

Either way i appreciate the passion

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

This is our best lineup, and it's not even close.

 

[Sarni]

This is heart wrecking and please mind I need to spend 8 hours at work after this as it’s before 7 am here. Haven’t slept for a minute tonight.

 

[B-Roy]

Zach is the future of this team.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

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.

Stotts teams have never been good at the fast break, that has been a very frustrating thing in his tenure here. No matter the personnel.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Zach Collins gives me life.

Bump

 

[H.C.]

It's still 5 on 8, as Portland has been hit on their follow thru on their last 4 shots.
But it's fine. Nothing to see here.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Either way i appreciate the passion

Yeh, just fasten your seat belt and hang on!

 

[kingslayer]

Fuck they answer every damn big shot

 

[LuckyShot]

Harkless can do no wrong. Welcome back, big guy.

 

[DollaBel]

Weird feeling, I feel joy when we make a basket then immediate anger because we just don’t deserve to win anyway. So annoyed with our team, the crowd is echoing my sentiments perfectly

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

They answer every big shot...

 

[KeepOnRollin]

We are first team to 100!

Edit: for like 3 seconds!

 

[LuckyShot]

Refs have given them like 7 extra possessions. Not even mentioning the FTs.

 

[kingslayer]

Sweep.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Fuck this team. Fucking embarrassing.

 

[julius]

and that's the game.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Fuck...

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Well, folks....

I have to say I’m not surprised. NBA likes to anoint their next superstar in the playoffs. Refs helping NO to help Davis take that next step.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Triple teams lol

 

[kingslayer]

Pelicans just want this more

 

[LuckyShot]

Jesus fucking Christ. Worst playoff team ever.

 

[Optimistic Bob]

C'mon Blazers ..... INVADE THEIR SPACE !!!

 

[AFully22]

I just hope they’re as embarrassed in their performance as I am.

 

[DDolla]

Bye bye Blazers

 

[Nikolokolus]

Yes, the reffing has been pretty uneven, but NO is straight up winning the fifty-fifty balls, and their guards are outplaying our guards. Can't win that way.
