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

Scotts looked like coach of the year ( D'Antoni) during our 46 game winning streak. Now he looks like George Karl ... against Dikembe Mutombo Jean Jacques Wa Moutombo ...
We have made the playoff often, but we are regressing. We going to pay $100m to Jusuf?

 

[kjironman1]

It’s an awful showing by the Blazers but you got to admit some crazy bounces going the Pels way.

 

[Gronk Brady]

Has a 3 seed ever been swept by a 6 seed in the history of the NBA?

 

[Drttimmy]

Alven Gentry trashing Stotts ... I can't even say it.

He did it against Nate while with the Suns. That series had a similar feel. I should probably give him credit this go around.

 

[Cippy91]

Way to avoid my question.

How is that avoiding? You asked how he would help us. Look how versatile of a defender he is, and he is actually quite mobile which is something we haven’t seen from him till recently but we knew he could always shoot lights out. You’re telling me we couldn’t use a knock down shooter to spread the floor more or another good defender out there? Come on

 

[Jade Falcon]

I'm gonna keep posting this until someone punches their screen.

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Damian Lillard in this series:

14 Turnovers
13 Assists

50 Points
53 Shots


B b b but he’s getting blitzed and hedged in the P&R so it’s a free pass according to some on this board.

Get real. Guy thinks he’s 1st team All NBA and those are his numbers. No excuse. Aminu and CJ are 17/32 tonight with 43 points. Give the ball up to get it back. Learn to work without the ball im your hands. If he doesn’t have the ball he’s just standing around letting Rondo face guard him. Embarrassing.

We were jinxed before the opening tip of Game 1, Blazers used Justice League Theme for player intro's, don't they know Justice Leauge=Full of Hype/High expectations ended up flopping.

We need an edge/X-factor #TeamDeadPool

 

[illmatic99]

This team is a fucking fraud

 

[kjironman1]

There ya go. That’s the CJ”I quit” look.

Regreesing huh.
4th seed 2015
5th seed 2016
8th seed 2017
3rd seed 2018

Doesn't seem like regression.

 

[Jade Falcon]

CJ looks piiiiiissseeeddd

 

[Gronk Brady]

Only down 26 guys... Blazers in 6

 

[LayneStaley]

IMO a sweep leads to breaking up this backcourt

 

[SportsAndWhine]

CJ looks piiiiiissseeeddd

At whom?

 

[Cippy91]

Yup

He's not a good defender. He only looks good against our dumpster fire team right now.

 

[Portland2014]

Guys, it's time...




UNLEASH THE LAYMAN-SANITY ON THEM!

That's gotta be the major off season question, no? And whether or not to retain Stotts? I think I'd keep Nurk, though. He's been effective doing what he does and he makes the defense respectable.

I see you found the spiked punch!

Obviously I’m mocking King Speed... you must not read this forum often

Why?

3rd seed 2018

This third seed is bullshit. We got lucky going on a late season run against teams with injuries and star players out. I wasn't fooled by it.

 

[PDXFonz]

Sad and pathetic. Really hope we don’t lose Dame over this BS.

I think offseason priority 1 should be doing whatever Dame wants. If he wants Collins starting and CJ to stay, do it. If he wants ED Davis signed to a 4 year, do it. If he wants Terry to stay... do it.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Yup

Can the Blazers even really blow this thing up? How do bamboozle some team into taking Turner or Meyers, without sweetening the pot considerably? Throw-in CJ?

 

[KingSpeed]

Meyers time

 

[hoopsjock]

For fuck's sake.....Why the fuck is Dame trying to shoot a 3 pointer with two guys attached to him?

 

[Gronk Brady]

Why?

I like optimism... not delusion

 

[dviss1]

Why the Hell does Stotts let CJ play through mistake after mistake?

 

[PDXFonz]

Don’t kick a good man when they’re down bro. Eric paid to travel to the game + lodging + tickets. He’s watching this disaster live, and I guarantee he didn’t leave early.
