This would be bad

Peli's might be letting this one slip away...

 

[bksballer89]

Not what you want if you're a Pelicans fan.

Up 1 and Portland with the ball

 

[bksballer89]

Not time to go seeking a foul. Focus on making the shot

Very silly of Dame

thought the exact same...

down to one shot at OT now...

 

[SU Nittany Tide]

Pelicans in 5.

 

[Black Adam]

Jrue with the defensive play of the game...

 

[SU Nittany Tide]

NO with a surprising 41-32 lead.

Why is this so surprising? They have virtually the same record and they have the best player in the series.

 

[bksballer89]

AD is a monster

 

[Black Adam]

AD is a monster

so what else is new...?

 

[SU Nittany Tide]

Rondo has been a solid fit on the Pelicans.

New Orleans Wildcats!

 

[SU Nittany Tide]

The Blazers are being embarrassed by a 6 seed.


Fraud 3 seed.

The teams have identical records now...

Yeah that comment was crazy. 1 game separated 3rd-6th in the west. 2 games separated 3rd-8th

This isn't your typical 3/6 match up where the 3 seed finished 6-8 games better than the 6 seed

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

AD getting his first playoff win. Woot woot.

Anthony Davis is a freak of nature. Too bad he is hidden down there in the New Orleans market, you don't really know how dominant he is and can be until you face him.

I agree 100% He should fix his lack of exposure problem by coming to the Lakers.

 

[trojanfan12]

Wonder if the Pelicans would take CJ, Aminu, Leonard, a 1st round pick, millions in cash for Anthony Davis?


Man imagine Portland or Lillard, Nurk and A. Davis! That's what it would take to win a title in Portland. Get with it Olshey.

amazing come playoff time and see the rosters as they really are and see Stotts was able to get this team to the 3rd seed. imagine if Stotts had super star talent in more places than just Lillard.

Then he's just going from small market to small market. He'll have the same problem.

He definitely should go to the Lakers.

LOL.

Would you take Holliday, Mirotic and a pick for Lillard?

Didn't think so. And Davis is a lot better than Lillard.

Can someone explain to me how Denver missed the playoffs with both Nurkic and Jorkic (sp?) Jesus they had those two guys on the floor at once!?!

Because the NBA is all about guard play and Denver had poor guard play last year. NOLA literally got better after Boogie went down. It is very hard for two relatively immobile bigs like Jokic an Nurkic to play together at the same time. It ain't 1985.

AD will be the most sought after free agent since LeBron in 2010. And he should be.

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
