Series Thread: 6) New Orleans Pelicans vs. 3) Portland Trail Blazers

[OregonDucks]

Portland last 1 minute of play was atrocious.

Lillard attempt at getting a foul, why? You basically could have taken the last shot, get a good look with about 5-6 seconds left in case you miss you got a chance at a rebound, or a quick foul.

Then this is all followed up by the final few seconds relying on Meyers Leonard and Connaughton...................................What.....? Bad bad end to a bad game for Portland. Blazers have been in a funk for about 2 weeks now. You live and die by the 3's and right now Portland is dying.

Anthony Davis is going to average 35 points in this series easily. If I am Portland I may say let Davis get his, because he cant really be stopped and Portland doesn't have anyone to guard him, and just focus on stopping the other 4 guys from getting theirs.

Pretty much a guarantee this series goes 7 now.

Yeah, OD is 100% right that he doesn't get enough exposure. His team isn't on national tv enough. Dude is ridiculous.

Because he's not on much, folks can forget how good he is. Last night I'm watching him and thinking..."I knew he was a great player, but DAYUM". lol

He'd look great on the Lakers in a few seasons.

I had the Pelicans winning in 7 before last night.....think they may win in 6 now.

Why would the pelicans lose 3?

As Blazer fan I would be elated if this went 7 games. Portland showed an ugly ugly weakness in game 1. They actually don't have any depth and if Lillard is off, the entire team is off. They also have zero answer for Anthony Davis.

Pels plus the points and the under.

Maybe even in 5. AD is going to be unstoppable.

I hate it when we agree.

Lose tonight and this will be the Blazers last home game of the year.

If Portland comes out flat they are screwed.

Looking forward to seeing as much of this as possible before Mr Sandman intrudes and I go off into the great wide open.

Hopefully the sandman paid a visit to Anthony Davis last night and he still has sand residue in that eyebrow. All that sand could make it difficult for him to see the basket.

IMO this is one of the better series. Portlands defense was terrible. So was NO. Wonder what adjustments will be done. And btw, there are no adjustments to Davis lol. Nurkic has to find the will of god to score on Davis if hes guarding him.

 

[OregonDucks]

Portland shot terribly in game 1. The problem is Portland has shot terribly in the last 5 of their 6 games. Worst possible time to have a team slump.

Look at the orange cheetoh and then look at his wife. I like chocolate but she's a lot better looking than he is. And he became President.
