    Up 12 on the road in the 4th. Not too shabby.

    Yeah, I expect to see them both come in to start the fourth. Niko needs some rest. Also can't let Dame get too comfortable.

    Up 12 going into the 4th. Nobody has played more than 30 minutes for us yet, which is a great sign.
    Basketball.

    Force them off the three Diallo has to know that. Gotta show strong on the pick and force the guards into the paint. We can trade 2s' but not 3s for 2s.

    Ugh.... 12 point turnaround is achievable if we play junk. The end of the 3rd was horrid by us.

    It’s a strong lead...be massively p’d off if we throw that away in a single quarter with a rested AD
    '' We are here!!''

    Won the 3rd by 3.

    This game is going as planned. And AD and Jrue rested like the last 4ish of the qtr too so they should be fresh for the 4th.

    AD and Jrue can play all 12 minutes if need be. We can take this just by playing reasonably well now, and I think we're gonna do it.

    He has taken 1 shot from 3 so far. That right there says they are playing him tighter then normal. I thought defenses would play him softer but it is no doubt tighter then what he saw in the regular season. No they aren't playing him like Curry obviously but he's gotten tighter D then usual.

    The Pelicans are not throwing away their shot.
    If you Jimmer it, they will come.

    Yea we have been able to manage minutes very well so far. That lead is really going to help us be fresh in this 4th while the Blazers have to be gassed. I remembers Lillards draft workout and I don't think that guy gets gassed.

    Don't look at the box score. Watch the game. Rondo has been open, he isn't taking the shot.

    Like I said he's done good forcing penetration while Portland ignores him beyond the arc.

    Ad needs to take collins

  15. #215
    Good time out Gentry
    Dell Demps PLEASE get us some scorers!

  16. #216
    We just need Diallo to give us 3 more minutes so niko can come back in.

  17. #217
    Get Diallo out of there . He has given us good minutes but don’t push it

  18. #218
    Would Luv Oak man right now in the game. Diallo makes me nervous he's so unpredictable.

    yep, he's not taking the bait.

    Biggest reason for going with Diallo is he can run the court with our fast paced offense and his energy on the defensive end.

    He earned his minutes down the stretch to end the season is makes sense we keep going to him even if he isn't making shots.

    I'm fine with Diallo getting minutes. For us to win we will simply need him to play and just be solid. Only way for him to prove that is get these minutes. Mirotic was exhausted but should be back soon.

  22. #222
    Is it just me or is Lillard a really low IQ player

  23. #223
    At least Diallo is done.

  24. #224
    Here’s the run now we gotta respond

  25. #225
    Just hold on until about 9 minutes left so niko can get back in from his break.
