Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 3: BLAZERS @ PELICANS - APRIL 19, 2018, THURSDAY, 6PM PDT, NBATV & NBCSNW

[UKRAINEFAN]

Move the ball. Cut to the rim. Screen for each other.

It's too late to do stuff they haven't practiced; but I think you already know that....

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Are we really gonna get swept by the fucking pelicans?

Yup

 

[Nikolokolus]

On the plus side: there's no way Nurkic gets a deal bigger than Meyers'.

 

[LuckyShot]

We only have 2 sets. What else could we do?

Stotts refuses to ever try something different. He thinks it's too hard on the players to learn something new. As if at this point they haven't run some variation of every basketball offense or play out there. This game isn't that complicated.

 

[theprunetang]

I'm turning this bullshit off. I have better things to do with my day.

 

[Cippy91]

What’s funny about all this is that whole chase for the 3rd seed never mattered. I don’t even know what to think right now. This teams body language gave it off last game. I see a whole bunch of oldies here in love with the traditional center play of nurkic but that’s not today’s game and honestly, I don’t even know if they should resign him.

 

[LuckyShot]

Are we really gonna get swept by the fucking pelicans?

The worst team in the western conference playoffs outside of us apparently.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Alright, I tried to believe as long as I could. I'm going to bed

 

[kjironman1]

Should they play Meyers for more swish3 opportunities?

 

[Jason W Strickland]

Are we really gonna get swept by the fucking pelicans?

Why, yes. Yes you are.

 

[Chris Craig]

Turning the ball over every possesion

 

[Cippy91]

It’s a nice day out, don’t know if I should just bounce from this game or what but this team probably only has this and the next game before the season is over so I’m conflicted

 

[BonesJones]

At least they ended it early so I can go to the gym and enjoy the rest of my night.

 

[LuckyShot]

We must need to believe harder.

 

[BonesJones]

It’s a nice day out, don’t know if I should just bounce from this game or what but this team probably only has this and the next game before the season is over so I’m conflicted

Bounce dude. I've accepted our fate. It's nicer this way. We're not built for playoff success.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

One pass. Dame chuck from 30

 

[Natebishop3]

So..... how long until we get an MLB team?

 

[chris_in_pdx]

New Orleans must be creaming their pants at their good fortune to play the Blazers.

 

[BrianFromWA]

OK, I've felt the pain from afar. 2+ games without posting in a game thread, or seeing more than a play or two of a game. And we've played (seemingly) like the Clippers the last 2 games and the Kings so far tonight. So I'm logging on. Believe Harder. You're Welcome.

(that said, if CJ loses his damn handles every 3rd time down the floor, and Pat can get the ball ripped out of his damn hands, we may never score again)

 

[BonesJones]

Brooke: "Coach Stotts very calm."

Coach Stotts essentially said "Play better. Play smarter".

Hurd: They're gonna make adjustments

Possession out of the timeout: Dame long contested 3-point shot with no passes.

 

[Cippy91]

This is laughable at this point. Dame just launching threes because if he drives he gets swarmed so I understand his thinking but he could probably get a better shot. I’m not even upset at this anymore, it’s just like whatever

 

[Titan]

New Orleans must be creaming their at their good fortune to play the Blazers.

They have the easiest path to the 2nd round.

 

[bradk8605]

My feelings about this game:

 

[BonesJones]

CJ contested pull-up mid-range jumper with no passes.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

I'm turning this bullshit off. I have better things to do with my day.

I'm watching the wire. Glad I'm missing this one. But, for epic Kingspeed delusional posting this 50 pt loss will be perfect. Lose by 50 in game three and then win 4 straight!

 

[ripcityboy]

Blow it up. This is a joke.

 

[julius]

So..... how long until we get an MLB team?

about a minute after they win this series.

 

[Chris Craig]

We should bring in the end of the bench, layman' swanigan, papa

 

[SportsAndWhine]

So what ya watching?

I’m watching the classic animated movie Porco Rosso

#notwastingmytime

 

[Cippy91]

God Napier is garbage man. Really wish we traded him at the deadline.

Hey did you know the pelicans picked up mirotic at the deadline? the 3rd best player for them in the series. Olshey didn’t do anything because you know, this young core and lining up with dames age and blah blah blah
