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

Lmao steve blake

Play hero ball some more Reke

Go Jrue! If at first you shoot (without looking for a higher percentage shot) and miss, try, try again.

These games drive me NUTS

Omg. Holiday. Thank you. Lol

How do leave then open for 3's

1 - this thing ain't over
2 - it's not "choking" when portland comes back on you at their place

take some advice from Aaron Rodgers..

Ohhhh welllllllll

Refs can't make you make your free throws.

They lose

evans has been so bad.

Terrible loss tonight. .. terrible . Blow a 15 point 4 quarter lead .

****ing disgusting.

This is the definition of choking

This game proves why we won't go anywhere again this year. Can't finish.

They didn't leave him open. He literally rolled around the screen and just put up the shot.

Yeah who was saying something about the refs? Fuc them. Taking away wins all season long

Our guards sold out.

Absolutely pathetic. Sorry but this is pathetic. I'm sick n tired of watching tyreke evans jack up shot after shot. Gtfoh

Reoccurring issue... over and over.

Say what you want, but the loss goes on Monty. How do you give Evans control of the offense late in the game instead of going to Davis? Evans.... Again.... 5-18. Yes, Evans is horrible offensively, but that doesn't change the fact that MONTY needs to tell the team to get the ball to ANTHONY DAVIS!!!

Portland may win this game but we still have Anthony Davis. So who is the real winner?

Lillard is clutch

I won't go that far but Davis did not get nearly enough touches in the fourth. Mind boggling.

I would like to see Lillard and Jimmer play a game of horse.

Honestly we are playing a very good likely playoff team. We weren't supposed to win this but we "had them" right?

From 15 up to 5 down. 20 point swing. Sorry

No one to blame but ourselves this game, left the door open.

I dont know why Gordon was even on the floor this whole fourth. We run a 4 man offense.

Gave it away...

Low basketball I.Q. team.

ASIK would have helped a lot tonight

Gah. Let 'em off the hook.

No moral victory here. We should've won this game.

Oh well. This was a learning experience.

Fire Monty thread reviving?

So last years 3rd quarter problems are this years 4th quarter problems.

It is not Monty's fault that our guards are low IQ, sorry. You act like you have proof that Monty doesn't tell them to do this. Evans is 5-18 and made poor decisions in critical moments. That is not on Monty. It is easy to blame Monty because it's a much easier fix to get a new coach rather than move a big contract.

Saints rubbing off on them.

Wow. I still think a lack of a back up point kills us.

LSU loses horrible loss... Saints lose horrible loss.... Pelicans lose horrible loss.

I am about to get really productive around the house. This is getting old.

This team isn't in position to give away basketball games they should win. Holiday and Evans were awful. Ryno couldn't rebound or defend. Gordon gave us nothing. Monty was Monty in the 4th quarter.

We were the better team for 3rd quarters and just give away the game in the 4th . Feel bad for ad

Reggie Miller where are you now?

Gave it away...smfh!

So sad! So sad to be a fan of such garage. Never seen a NBA team that loses more huge leads than this one. Maybe one day we can get a head coach who can properly manage a game and protect leads. We have all seen this garbage long enough to realize we have a problem with who is managing the players we have and placing the best line ups in the game to protect those leads.

What a tough loss. I wouldn't have been surprised to see that we lost to Portland. To lose a 16-point second half lead hurts, though.

Worst quarter of basketball the Pelicans have played the season. Such a bummer

Sucks that we still hit points in games where we act like we don't have a go-to scorer. So much confusion in those moments, but you'd think we'd just focus on A.D. Hopefully they figure it out.

And an aside: Portland's announcers are horrid. Unabashed homers, not particularly knowledgeable, and they've spent a significant amount of this game complaining about every call against Portland.

And their color guy said "New OrlEEns" the whole damn game.
