    Blazers just didn't have it for this one. Still think they are the better team and will win, they missed a lot of open 3s and I don't expect NOPs guards to consistently outplay CJ and Dame through the series.

    Can easily see why people are championing AD to be MVP / best player in the NBA. Can shoot from anywhere, can defend every position. Lateral movement is probably the best, for a big man, so he can stay in front of speedy PGs.

    Man, I wish Cousins never went down. What might have been.

    stotts need to adjust when they trap dame and CJ off the PnR. aminu is useless in decision making and when he can't hit a 3. harkless is also missed greatly. all those corner 3's he could be taking instead of useless turner. they either need to start connaughton to space the floor out because rondo has way too much free roam on defense or they need to use a different screen man

    Pelicans want to play with fire and daring a comeback from the Blazers.

    Gentry needs to call a TO or get Davis out of there for 1 or 2 possessions.

    Looks like Anthony Davis can't buy a foul right now.

    This is like a preview of how the refs are going to officiate Harden in crunch time.
