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

[Sean.ivity]

The Pelicans are playing at 100% and Portland looks to be playing at about 60%.

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

How???

 

[BlazerBeav]

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

Completely disagree. At this pace, bigs are worthless.

 

[H.C.]

HERE'S AN INTERESTING CONCEPT:

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

This forum is about to light you up.
Taking a long 2?
You about to get lit up.

 

[LuckyShot]

This is what pisses me off. We play good defense for one or two possessions, then completely slack off and let them run off 10-15 easy points and look like we don't give a shit.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Completely disagree. At this pace, bigs are worthless.

Except AD.

 

[BrianFromWA]

pretty sure you can't spend the whole broadcast saying "this is the playoffs, it's more physical and you won't get those fouls called" and then ask for a push to be a flagrant

 

[hoopsjock]

This team has no clue what they are doing and it’s so obvious. They don’t know what to do. With dame and cj being shut down, they are completely lost

And that is somehow Olshey's fault?

 

[PHXBlazer1]

When did Mirotic turn into Peja?

 

[LuckyShot]

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

As long as we're saying dumb shit, we should have totally started Meyers this game. Would have changed the series.

 

[GDiama]

Many people have made fun of Aminu all these years , but I wish our "elite" players tried half as much. As for Nurkic it's comical to describe how soft he is mentally. He won't even get 12M in the free agent market unless the Blazers just give him more because of Olshey's wizardy.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I'm confused. I was told we were better than GS. And Houston.

 

[VenomXL]

Their offense is incredible. Feels like we're playing the Warriors or Rockets.

 

[hoopsjock]

I would trade CJ for Kwahi straight up

Wow awesome, would you also trade Aminu for LeBron?

 

[DDolla]

This team is pure garbage. Overrated 3rd seed.

 

[Sean.ivity]

I hope Stotts slaps everyone in the face during half time... the lack of effort is very noticeable IMO.

 

[KingSpeed]

Pels are 50% from 3 and the shots are being contested. I still feel good. That won't hold up. Dame & CJ playing way better on offense tonight.

 

[Cippy91]

 

[theprunetang]

I don't I've ever seen a playoff team look this bad.

 

[LuckyShot]

Wow awesome, would you also trade Aminu for LeBron?

No, but I'd be willing to part with Meyers.

 

[AFully22]

You can’t tell me that the Pelicans win streak headed into the playoffs vs our losing 4 of the last 5 headed into the playoffs means nothing. Stotts said just that before game one.

 

[julius]

Well, it'd be nice if they could change this roster this summer, but sadly they're stuck with this unbalanced roster.

 

[LuckyShot]

GOOD.

 

[tykendo]

Stotts needs to be fired at halftime. Where's Nurk. Sittin' on the bench as Davis and Harkless get toasted by the Brow. There's ZERO in the paint defense right now. PLAY NURK STOTTS.

Huh? Play between Anthony Davis and the rim...? I don't get it.

 

[Natebishop3]

Welp, on the bright side this should lead to a massive change to this team.

 

[BonesJones]

Hopefully.

 

[BonesJones]

Welp, on the bright side this should lead to a massive change to this team.

Hopefully it starts with Stotts and maybe Olshey.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Remember when we turned it over like 5 straight possessions?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Well, I hope that's true.
