Jrue player of the game no doubt. 33/9, clutch plays, defense, just showed Lillard what stepping up looks like.

Jrue is playing at an absolutely unbelievable level on both ends. It's a sight to behold.

Jrue Holiday is a good looking man.

2 games into the series and Jrue is clearly, without a doubt, the best guard in the series. 2nd best player in the series.

Heck it arguable that Rondo has been better than Lillard and CJ too.

What. A. Game. Great effort by Jrue, he led us in the 1st and brought it home. AD was great defensively and Niko with that high arc 3. And playoff RONDO! I'm so excited watching this team!

He's been the best player in the series imo.

I like his Mr. Glass/ Fredrick Douglas haircut. I would say that is just as much of an impact on our winning as baby face Niko.

That Niko bomb was glorious.

Guys i'm so happy, but we still need 2 more

So I guess we can finally put to rest the discussion of whether or not we paid too much to keep Jrue?

Portland are never going anywhere in the playoffs while 2 undersized guards are their best players by far.

Pels in 3

We're sweeping this. We go into round 2 against Golden State rested and with no Curry? Then we're taking that too. Pels in the conference finals.

I can't remember a hornets/pelicans team playing so well in playoffs. Their execution is amazing and playing with ice in their veins (no not the drug). Every time they are challenged they pull off a big play.

He's so overpaid. Come on buggers. Perfect time to say it.

Exactly. Rondo's short too, but he's crazy long and he's our third or fourth best player. Their number one guy is short, has no length, and doesn't play defense. Puts on the regular season circus but when it comes down to the playoffs, a guy like Lillard can't be the number one.

I wouldn't argue with you about it. He took over this game and he got the key block last game to seal the win.

Bingo bango. We have a good mix of bigs and forwards when Boogie is back. Even now we do

And Jrue at 6'4 plays like he is 6'7-6'8. Just amazing

Ask fletcher "dbag" mackel

Go on twitter. Find the Portland fans having apoplectic fits. Laugh.

I knew Jrue was the real deal man. That boy can flat out ball.

Rondo is incredible.

Niko makes me nervous still with some of the shots he takes but damn that one 3 towards the end was a beauty.

AD was AD. Nuff said.

E'Twaun hella clutch with missing those free throws, missing his layup, and then dishing it to Rondo for the dagger 3.

I'm just so happy right now, and we haven't even gotten home yet. It's just been a while before we've been able to enjoy some meaningful Pelican playoff basketball. I woke my parents up because I was so loud. Rock that blender on Thursday everyone. Rock it.
