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

[LuckyShot]

Morons.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Pelicans straight up wanted it more.

Yeah i'll fucking say it, I'm not afraid to. Damian Lillard is a fucking PRETENDER.

Made one big shot against Houston. Look at the rest of his playoff stats. GREATS step up, against other GREATS. Dame doesn't do that, not even fucking close.

This organization is a joke.

I can only smile on this one. It has so much wrong that I don't know where to start. And I know you are going to want it back, BAD down the line.

Listen, it is easy to get emotional. I understand that part. But if you would never say it when not emotional then you don't want to say it otherwise.

 

[LuckyShot]

Davis hacked the shit out of Dame going for that ball.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Every loose ball goes to the Pelicans. Unreal

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

So.........,,.,...........are we still on for Thursday night?

 

[MightyMouseOps1]

These guys just don’t want it. Plain and simple. Get a rebound and win one 50 50 ball. Ridiculous.

 

[B-Roy]

I don't think we have ever won a game where Terry went with the super small lineup.

 

[julius]

Again, can we petition the league to change this series to best of 3?

 

[KingSpeed]

Guys. I'll get us two wins on the road.

 

[tykendo]

No Nurk, no win. Couldn't buy a rebound when we needed it most. Nurk's gonna have to toughen up. Without him, we're through.

 

[B-Roy]

CJ.....lmao. I'm at a loss for words. Don't go for a three but also take a horrible two.

 

[dviss1]

STOTTS' PICK AND ROLL DEFENSE IS FUCKING GARBAGE.

 

[LuckyShot]

Again with taking 2 point shots when we need 3. Fucking Stotts. When we want to get high percentage shots, he lets guys take bad 3s. When we actually need 3s we are shooting 2s. You can't make this shit up.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

8 on 5 and the Pelicans getting EVERY 50/50 ball, and great trap defense.

 

[VenomXL]

Why the fuck is CJ going for a two?

 

[Hoopguru]

Mirotic and Holiday are gamers!

 

[trailblazer18]

Holiday has just been a stud!

 

[chris_in_pdx]

You have to give Alvin Gentry a lot of credit. His defensive schemes have completely shut down the Blazers.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

So.........,,.,...........are we still on for Thursday night?

I’m out.

 

[B-Roy]

Is Nurk actually hurt or is Stotts just not playing him?

 

[Lukee]

I'm done with CJ. I know Dame fucked up more, but we can't trade him.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

So.........,,.,...........are we still on for Thursday night?

YES!

 

[dviss1]

No Nurk, no win. Couldn't buy a rebound when we needed it most. Nurk's gonna have to toughen up. Without him, we're through.

Stotts takes Collins out of the game. He would've gotten that rebound.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

You have to give Alvin Gentry a lot of credit.

Yeah he wore a suit and stayed awake during the game, and outcoached Stotts.

 

[LuckyShot]

STOTTS' PICK AND ROLL DEFENSE IS FUCKING GARBAGE.

It always has been and he STILL refuses to change it. Stubborn ass.

 

[MickZagger]

We get that homecourt we wanted. Then we shit the bed with it.

In my eyes the only difference in this series is they want it more. Quicker to loose balls. Letting the pressure in the backcourt bother them too much.

 

[trailblazer18]

Someone punch someone, just because.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Nurkic promised to be more aggressive. LoL

Pretty hard to be aggressive from the bench.

 

[tester551]

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.

This is so weak. The refs weren't perfect, but they were fair.

Refs did not cause us to loose the game. Coaching (or lack thereof) did

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I’m out.

Really?
