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

[LuckyShot]

What's going to be even more annoying is when the Pelicans get absolutely destroyed in the second round and everyone wonders what happened to them... We'll be sitting there saying that they were never that good, we just made them look like Gods.

 

[Five Second Violation]

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.

That was probably his play call, too.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I don't like the 1-on-3, with 3 players outside the weakside wing 3pt line

 

[jonnyboy]

Why, yes. Yes you are.

I'll be in your forum next round.

 

[BonesJones]

I DONT EVEN CARE THAT WENT IN

Aminu, ISO, everyone stands around, pull-up mid-range jumpshot.

 

[BonesJones]

Why, yes. Yes you are.

Why don't you just enjoy your guy's success without kicking a wounded horse?

 

[Cippy91]

I wasn’t on the fuck stotts bandwagon before this series but I think I officially am now. You can’t come to the playoffs this many times and let dame get trapped and act like you don’t know what the fuck is going on and not ever make adjustments.

 

[KingSpeed]

You gotta love Playoff Aminu

 

[BonesJones]

Watch how they pass and how they cut.

Watch how we pass (or don't pass) and how we cut (or don't cut).

 

[Titan]

Good news everyone, Westworld season 2 premiere this Sunday.

 

[julius]

the Davis 3 attempt should've insulted the players. Somehow I don't think they were.

That was a slap in the face.

 

[riverman]

Chief is doing everything he can to keep this respectable..

 

[BonesJones]

Dame should've just beat Davis to the backboard. Davis wouldn't have gotten it.

 

[BrianFromWA]

"that's ok boys....keep trading 3 for 2 and we got this!"

It’s like Stotts hasn’t figured out NBA teams don’t try as hard in the regular season; we play 100% every night so there’s nothing left in the playoffs.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Fuck I can't even turn off the game, it's beyond me how I can still believe in this team

Hurd: They're gonna make adjustments

Rumor is stotts also gave them juice at the timeout and sung a kids song, patted them on the back and said good job guys

 

[BonesJones]

HERE'S AN INTERESTING CONCEPT:

Maybe play between Davis and the rim? I dunno. Just an idea.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

No fucking movement in our offense

 

[BonesJones]

Look, we drove, and passed the ball.

 

[BonesJones]

Awful defense. That's not ok Hurd. Were getting backcut to death.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Jesus fucking Christ

 

[Cippy91]

Lol at aminu trying to take holiday off the dribble.

 

[BonesJones]

When was the last time we got a layup?

 

[BonesJones]

LOL

 

[julius]

I hope they trade for guys who can't create for themselves, can't shoot 3's and are at best role players. That will win them another division!

 

[VenomXL]

I didn't realize we were playing the Warriors. WTF.

 

[Cippy91]

I would also like to point out Anthony Davis is good but I’m kinda sick of him flailing every time he goes for the rebound. He flies through the air and flails like he got pushed in the back every time. It’s like when Westbrook used to shoot jumpers and fall to draw fouls

 

[BigGameDamian]

DeAndre Jordan would have helped in this series. Just saying.

 

[BonesJones]

12 points in the paint and 5 from the FT line for us:
=17
28 points in the paint a 9 from the FT line for them:
=37

That's the difference.
