[WC First Round] (3)Portland vs. (6)New Orleans

Pelicans will sign Boogie Cousins, then deal him to bottom 5 teams for the first round pick.

Pack with Asik or S Hill.

 

Asik was traded to the Bulls in the Mirotic deal. Hill would probably take away some value in a Cousins trade, not that his contract is horrible but we're almost there, if not actually there...

 

What were the Vegas odds on that?! Hope you were able to put something down on it.

 

Damn was she 8 years old ??

 

Who is that one vote for a Pelicans sweep? LOL genius or luck?

I did vote Pelicans in 6. People laughed at me.

 

The most surprising player in this series is Jrue. He can ball, we know that, but he would ALWAYS go hot and cold every second game, consistency (and injuries) were/are his biggest problems. Also Pelicans during regular season would coast so much, watched quite few of their games and they could go up 20 in no time and give up that 20 in no time as well, they have amazing personnel when it comes to defense: AD/Jrue/Rondo, Mirotic can defend pretty well tho, Moore is an amazing shooter. people are shocked that Blazers about to get swept and so i am. I mean, whole Pelicans team stepped up, this is quite rare to be honest.

 

Ron Jeremy and Peter North still making pron at age 70. RESPECT

 

That was me. NO sweep. I think i was me or maybe I said Blzer in 4

 

Nah. I'm good. Just disappointed and embarrassed by my team, and especially the coaching. There's nothing I can say about this series that you guys aren't already thinking. Blazers have **** the bed.

They play better without him

 

PERHAPS but he needs to take backseat to holiday

 

I hope people don't knee jerk over dame too much. Obviously it's been a shocking series for him, but we need to look at this wider picture.

The guy is legit. Yes he has his weaknesses (just like our man) but this roster is not optimised to suit his strengths at all.

I think if anything this reflects worse on stotts and Portland's GM (forgot his name too drunk).

Who is their third best player? Aminu? Nurkic?

CJ is not a great fit next to dame when it really matters.

To be quite honest this entire situation is reminding me a lot of harden two seasons ago and how down everyone in general got on him.

In hindsight it's a ****ing miracle harden did as well as he did with what he had, and i think the same concept applies to Lillard here. Again, I'm not excusing his performance so far, but the roster is pretty garbage imo.

 

Lillard should get more criticism than Harden when it comes to playoff choking. He's been a multiple first round exit for years and only managed to hit one lucky shot against a Chandler Parsons for a "clutch" reputation.

Same guy who thinks he should be on 1st team all-nba and has self-proclaimed, "I'm just as good as Curry".

If Harden was embarrassed for 4 games straight in the 1st round of the playoffs, his choking legacy would've been set in stone to non-Rocket fans.

CJ is actually similar to Dame in that they both talk a bunch of trash to the media and can't back it up. I'll never forget the classic "no mo layups, not while I'm around" message to CP3.

 

What’s your opinion on Dame so far?

 

Rondo has shown Holiday how to have heart.

I wonder if there will be a fire sale in Portland after this series is over. It's almost certain to end in a 4-0 sweep.
