Did you have AD?

Let us not get carried away. They almost choked this one. I expect Blazers to beat them down in game 2. This series actually starts in game 3.

Dame Lillard is a Russell with less athleticism and better 3point shooting. They make stupid plays often.

No offense to Brodie fans just calling it how I see it.
No need to apologize...You're right on this one...

I really like the Pelicans against the Blazers. They have no one that can slow down Davis. If Mirotic and Holiday show up I believe they can pull it off

I've really been sleeping on Holiday's defense.

You no credit my boy? I see as you carefully avoid am. Consecutive seasons of dominant post season display. By far the most intelligent point guard in the league for me.

Rondo is and has always been a great point guard. He fits the Pelicans system perfectly and knows so much plays that the coach does not have to bother much about him coordinating plays.

I hope he considers coaching after he retires.

Most PG would have lost their cool when Portland rallied to cut the lead significantly.

Although, having AD helped though

They lost their cool. That game was 93-92 in Pelicans Flavour with 59 seconds to go with the ball in Dame’s hands.

St.upid guy decides to buy a foul instead of shoot for an easy deuce when he was just 10ft away from the rim. The refs don’t oblige.

Then they had 2 possessions again after AD makes 2FTs and the score is 95-92 for Dame to shoot a 3 but they opt for a layup that is well guarded by Jrue Holiday.

I am not sold on NOPs yet. They deserved to win but they made more contested shots than Blazers who kept missing wide open shots.

My basket ball senses tell me the odds favor the team that keeps shooting uncontested shots.

Not taking anything away from Rondo who was the floor general yesterday but in the final moments he tried to make some ill-adviced layups that got blocked.

I have a question, A quick two or a Quick three, which do you prefer?


This is in reference to yesterday game... portland vs pelicans.

I have never seen a situation where a quick two worked before. I will always choose a quick three anytime of the day and live with it.

You are right.

If you have the shooters for a quick three. There is something about a dagger three that drains the other team's spirits. They rarely recover

Where him dominance for Dallas? It's just one game let's not get carried away abeg. Plus he still can't shoot either

Their problem isn't necessarily Dame but McCollum who oscillates between good to ridiculously inefficient
