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

Tough loss

Boy some of you are seriously {edited-veiled cursing} pathetic just throwing that out there

If your offense has Jrue flipping the ball over his head not once but twice, coach gotta call a T.O. and put in a new set. Make sure they swing the ball and use all 5 guys. Not 3 or 4. Too easy to defend when you are desperate.

Awful 4th.

We missed shots we normally make, no need to freak out. We'll be fine.

Monty ball, how many leads did we blow last year.

Wasting a legends early years

It seemed like the gameplan was AD roll to the basket, Tyreke drive and throw up one of his layup attempts for AD to putback.. I could be wrong but it seemed like Monty's design

I don't understand how Davis doesn't see the ball more down the stretch. Not to mention how many times did we come up empty because of a driving out of control layup. Terrible basketball I.Q.

Die hard really? Some of these posts as mentioned pathetic get over yourself

13 points in the last quarter is a bloody joke!!!

Ugh. Listening to the ESPN highlights is just as painfull. They called Holliday Collison. Wth is Collison?

I'm forlorn right now.

We are forever average.

Jrue came in the game and start jacking up bad shots and 3 backward layups smh

Played a beautiful game up until it really mattered, which is at least partially encouraging. But the I.Q. problems really become glaring in moments where things break down like that. This team seems to still occasionally lose its focus pretty easily.

I just wonder if anyone within the organization or ownership will figure this out. The low I.Q is a reflection of the man running this ship. Until we can get a coach that has the intellect needed to win at this level we will never go anywhere.

Anyone who made it through the Shinn era is a die hard fan to me. I think you're the one sitting on his high horse, not me.

Nba teams go on runs. The message has to be to keep our composure and have a go to play or player when runs occur. We completely melt and get away from everything that was working for us. Can't lose composure

Jrue and Reke 10 for 37

Moral victory is this is the worst I've seen Portland get beat up...until the 4th.

Really needed Asik against them. Really need this team to learn how to run a 4th quarter offense.

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.

Where have you been this season? Convenient seeing you now...smh.

Sitting on high horse? Touchy much? Still pathetic

Can't say I'm surprised, we knew Portland was going to go on their little **** run. We just stopped scoring, plain and simple. We should have scored 110 and won going away. Struggles of a young team learning to win I guess... We just started playing to not lose and forgot to go and win.
We are clearly the superior team to Portland, we had them on the ****ing ropes lol. With Asik and a few more months of seasoning, we beat the Blazers by 25... That's right, Mr. Lillard, 25.

notime is just being upset in his own way. This is hard to deal with.

R-E-L-A-X.

We'll learn from this. Jrue probably went 0-10 in the 4th on very make able shots. We'll be okay. Lots of positives. AD is awesome.

I was having so much fun for 3 quarters.

Eric Gordon 4 for 6. Something is wrong with that lopsided picture. Neither one of them even looked his way in the 4th.

They all think they are the star of this team. Coach needs to dispel that notion right now.

We let this game slip away. Frustrating as hell, but it happens. No reason for people to come in here like we got blown out by the Washington Generals.

We have some limitations and some players didn't execute down the stretch, but we played a good game for 80% of the game. That last 20% did us on. How about we keep level heads and see if this is a running trend or not before we start saying we won't make this or we are pathetic that.

When you have a lead like they did in this game on the road in the hardest conference in pro sports, you have got to get a win. It can be the difference in making the playoffs. Evans has got to be smarter and stop the out of control layup a. When you have one of the top 3 players in the game, use him!!!!!!!

No Jimmer, no win.

Free Jimmer.

Not in this PG era. Though you are correct.

I do find myself caring less about sports in general. I'll always be a fan but it seems like more of a distraction the older I get. Highly entertaining distraction though.
