I just finished watching the game.
The things that stood out to me was the defense on Rolo in the fourth.
That rebound he got off a second chance effort and then pass to Mathews for the 3 was the killer.
Holiday looking for Davis on the pick and pop and having too force up two ugly shots when the defender
sticks to Davis really killed things too.
However Evan's 3 point shot with 19 seconds left on the clock was just plain stupid and that was game over.
Apart from that I wouldn't have said that Jrue or Evans played hero ball.
Portland played clever offence and executed better defense in the fourth then they did the whole game.
They took a risk and crowded Davis and let Jrue or Evans win it.
If Jrue's shot was falling in the fourth like it was in the beginning then the game would have been over.
Let's not forget Portland were missing Batum.
If Asik plays we wins this game easily.

Damnit, Holiday and Evans lost us that game with their low IQ in the 4th, chucking up shot after shot and looking to be the hero of the game.
Feed your best player, {edited-veiled cursing}
Tonight is where we need to show if we're a big boy team now. Come out and win and let AD drop 40 on DMC.
No, I am giving up on my old ways. My day to day used to be set on the rise and fall of my favorite sports teams. With the Saints, Pels, and Michigan I am now more at content with just saying, "Well, that sucks." (after a loss), or "Alright!" (after a win). I am no longer in live or die by the outcome of a game, and its healthier this way.
Don't get me wrong, I still have opinions on my favorite teams, but I am not going off to some Crusade for them. They aren't paying me to do that, so why should I?
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
A more experienced team wins this game. Could end up being one of those loses that is more influential to the teams development moving forward than a win would have been. The game kind of went the way these games against Portland usually go. They didn't do enough in the 3rd quarter to extend the lead, the Blazers had life entering the fourth and it went as expected. They started putting up 3s, Lillard started doing Lillard things, the building came alive, and the young Pelicans couldn't handle it. Games against the Blazers the past few years always seem to be 50/50. While better play in the fourth would be nice, how the game transpired wasn't shocking.
Will be interesting to see how they respond tonight. Especially the guard play down the stretch.
I think it's only a matter of time before false allegations about AD being unhappy come out.
I don't think it to early to develop that mindset. It's not a negative thing (if anything it is positive). Why be consumed in sports when there are so many other positive and uplifting things to be consumed in?
I love sports too, but I also love surfing and helping out with the Boy Scouts. 2 of those 3 I can actually improve and change. I like feeling like I am part of something, and changing it for the better, and Loomis and Dell haven't returned my calls.
I haven't been watching the games much, but I just watched Davis' highlights against the Blazers(and along with his other big games). He's starting to show me the type of game I thought people where giving him credit for the last two years. It's still somewhat awkward but he's putting in on the floor and beating people, but maybe more importantly he's hitting his jumper more consistently. This combine with the other things he was already bringing to the table as a PNR/PNP option and running the court is looking really good so far. I can't be any happier to appear to be wrong about Davis as a superstar in this league.
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

Bump...since posters still giving DT a hard time. Crow post above.
It's gonna take a hell of a lot more than that "eating crow" to stop my hard times.
One nice post after years of straight dogging a player is nice but let's step this game up. Gotta make a brand new thread with "I Was Completely And Utterly Wrong" to even move my needle.

He was wrong, yeah. Still don't get why people gotta be a crappy about it.
