Game Thread: Pelicans (5-3) Vs. Trail Blazers (7-3) 9pm CT Broadcast: FSNO

Put ryno in now, ajinca is worthless

Jrue is on!

If they don't pick Jrue, Lillard would get locked up.

Jrue is smooth

I mean, he's shooting over 50% from 3, why not? And Crabbe, you should know better.

Damn, AD.

GAWD! Just saw the Stanton deal. Don't know what's crazier. The length or the price.

I wish Jrue had that take over instinct because he could take over games

AD is unguardable. He has the skills and touch of a 6'3" player in a 6'11" frame with a 7'6" wingspan that ALSO gets great lift when he jumps.

He looks like a 6'4" Chris Paul at times. I wonder if anyone ever told him that.

Tense game so far

He runs the pick and role just as well as cpme. He is not as quick as him but his jumper is just as good as his if not better

What I'm liking from Jrue is he's switching gears well. Going slow to fast and back really fast, confusing defenders. Combined with that midrange, he's gotta be a ***** to guard.

3rd best against the 3 pointer...

I actually noticed that. Last year... We was terrible.

And you don't really need quicks when you're bigger than 90% of the other PGs in the league.



Non-sequitur:

What the hell does a Skeletor toy have to do with selling Honda? Someone must be a fan of Robot Chicken...

He does move a lot like CP.

CP craftier doe.

If we can keep up this level of play and remain relatively healthy, we could be a top 4 seed.

Do we need to start do talk about a back up center?

Could really use a big game from Darius Miller. Also, I don't like Ryno fading vs smaller players like that.

Ryno can't buy a shot tonight.

Not a fan of the current lineup on the floor

Jesus this lineup is cringe worthy.

Anderson starting to really frustrate me sometimes. Besides his monster offensive spurts that can swing a game... He will break a game by laying consecutive bricks.

None have been particularly good shots doe.

We have one guy out this game, why is Monty emptying out the bench?!

Joel touched on it during the broadcast, but I love the activity on defense. Specifically in playing the passing lanes.

Eric Gordon needs to shine while on the floor with this group

Need to get Reke or Jrue back into this game

How much longer does Withey have to suck for to be taken off the court?

This is basically my ideal for Gordon, only minus the two fouls.

Let him play the bulk of the early 2nd. Be the primary scorer and keep the pressure on the other team.

The refs cost us games against dallas and cleveland. I Am seeing a similar trend tonight.

How was that not a double dribble???

That had to be the most white people on a NBA court since the 60's

Rivers has been playing well. Looking like a comptent nba player

Refs haven't screwed us yet. They missed a goal interference on Ajinca earlier. So far, so good. But it can change quickly.

Gordon should opt out just because of the misery he puts us thru

Jesus... This going to get ugly...

Yes Reke

They've blatantly traveled twiced and David wesley said something about it.

And One for Tyreke
Could it start falling?
But not hitting FT's?

And that double dribble

Don't know why it took brothers so long to blow the whistle

Tyreke might've got away with sliding that pivot. But AD was fouled.

And we gotta make it from the line.

AD hit in the HEAD
But also missing FT's?

Can't start settling for long 2s. Would've like Jrue to probe into the lane there.

God that's such a terrible shot.

Eric gordon just retire man

Rivers has to play better.

Yeah it was a clear double dribble after the gordon turn over and then Wesley Matthews traveled to the moon under the rim to score a basket. Those plays kill us in close games. Crawford was blowing calls outright in that cavs game. We don't need that crap.

Jrue is playing like he wants to make another All-Star game.
