    Nobody thought they would be a football city until Drew Brees came to town.

    Can't believe the Pelicans are probably going to sweep the Blazers, didn't really see this coming.

    I wonder if Lillard will ask for a trade if they get swept? He's getting outplayed by Rondo so far though...

    Rondo is PROVEN has won a championship been solid, guarded whoever stepped up.

    He just had some bad fits with teams since leaving the Celtics. Just last year he was great in the playoffs about to pull off a shocker until he got hurt.

    He made a big hoopla about being loyal to Portland, but we'll see.

    Don't get why Gentry waited so long to take a timeout there...up 25, a couple of bad turnovers and letting your opponent to go on a 6-0 run in like a minute should be enough to stop the game.

    Jrue Holiday should take Dame’s All-Star credentials...this father vs. son matchup isn’t even fair right now

    I agree about Rondo, even with his flaws i always liked him as a player. But Lillard should still be a bigger factor in a series, so far he has been straight up outplayed.

    True, but LMA said the same like 8 months before leaving so, i don't really trust players when they say those things...Lillard also had talks with the owner last summer or early this season (can't exactly remember now) about the direction that the organization wanted to take etc so...he's still under contract for years though, so, probably nothing big will happen.

    when's the earliest the 2nd round can start?

    just wondering in case both NO and GS sweep, if NO can catch GS without curry for a couple of games

    I love Dame and CJ's logic. Last two games they criticized us for not showing up. So this game we're going to take all the shots ourselves so at least our statlines look good whether we win or lose.

    Now Mirotic is taking people in the post. Jeez, who is this guy? Mirotic was not playing like this in the regular season.

    I feel bad for the Blazers, how were they supposed to know that the Pelicans were going to do some Monstars transformation ish?
