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

[trojanfan12]

Blazers in 7. Peli's beat up the Blazers inside, the Blazers beat up the Peli's on the perimeter. In the end, HCA carries the Blazers.

Well here we go

When did Evan Turner get his starting job back?

 

[DJ]

Let's go, Pelicans.

I'm the only die-hard Pelicans fan on this website.

It's a lonely existence.

 

[DJ]

This is c-o-n-spiracy.

Took the over and it's on pace for the under.

 

[bksballer89]

Baldwin over Napier as the backup PG? Interesting

 

[DJ]

The Pelicans interior defense has been legit.

 

[bksballer89]

Super low scoring game

 

[DJ]

At this pace I'm going to need an OT or 2 to hit the over.

 

[DJ]

NO with a surprising 41-32 lead.

 

[DJ]

Fading fast. The Itis is closing in on me....

Really bad first half for Portland

 

[OregonDucks]

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. Wonder if he goes to a super star team when his contract is up so he can get his ring and be better exposed.

Meanwhile Lillard time to step up and prove you deserve to be 1st team all nba....of course he comes out and makes that comment and so far is a complete dud in the playoffs. I had lost my swag with Lillard when Ginoboli went on an 8-0 against him last time Portland played the spurs.

 

[Bolts]

Lillard is just waiting for the 4th quarter to take over the game.

the pelicans are fun to watch. quick passes, quick hands, and of course, anthony davis is absurd.

 

[OregonDucks]

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.

Which is not how I remember the Pelicans. I thought they were a half court slow paced team. These guys are fast and push the ball and when Davis runs the court he is basically unstoppable.

I had no clue to what the 2018 Pelican were.

same here. their group of guys seem to excel in the fast-paced full-court environment

I thought after the 1st quarter Portland would be fine because I thought the Blazers had depth compared to the Pelicans. Again, I am finding out I knew nothing about new Orleans prior to this game and when Napier continues to think he is Lillard, Portland wont be doing much.

If Blazers lose this game I don't see them surviving game 6 in New Orleans.
