Hoping for a L for New Orleans!

The Pelicans had 8 offensive rebounds in the first quarter. That isn't something I would expect against Portland with Whiteside and Collins. If people want to a complain about a big man not scoring inside, look at Marc Gasol. He took one shot, a 3-pointer. The Pelicans won't have it that east near the hoop against the Blazers.

Gasol finally took the ball into the paint and looked horrible.

Nicolo Melli looks extremely smooth shooting 3-pointers (for the Pels). He's drilled 3 swish 3s.

Toronto’s bench looks so bad...

 

[blazerfan11]

At least in this game, neither of these teams look very good.

I think at the start of the year most teams are still figuring things out. Both teams are pushing the ball alot, tons of shots and up and down.

Zion playing?

I wonder if Toronto would be a playoff team in the Western Conference this season. Doesn't look like it.

Zion playing?

Zion will be out 6-8 weeks. I hope he'll play in Portland on December 23rd.

If you have a guy shooting like Melli is in this game, why wouldn't you give him more shots ?

4. 5of 5 from the field. 4 of 4 from three. How in the hell didn't the Blazers find this guy.

Careful

Nopafor

 

[blazerfan11]

Gasol and Lowry are probably going to be two of the most overpaid players in the league this season.

This game better not go into overtime. Put it on ESPN4.

Still the champs

What was Toronto thinking? Opening night, the game goes into OT, and you only play 8 guys? Nurse is gonna kill Lowry and Gasol by Christmas.
