    I’m really looking forward to game 2

    Portland would give GS a tougher series, but I still find myself rooting for the Pelicans

    I love Jrue Holiday, and AD is a monster

    we’ll see if Lillard and CJ bounce back from that garbage game 1...Harkless is back which should help the Blazers

    I just can't see the Pels winning game 2 unless the Blazers lay down and play dead, which will not happen.

    Playoff Rondo can be a problem. Celtics got lucky he got injured last year when the bulls were up on them 2-0.

    NOP might sweep ;)

    In terms of next round I actually think they matchup better with GS.

    They've got a lot of length and their shooters can get streaky ( remember when etuwan Moore made like 8/11 vs us ) ... actually I just looked it up Moore shot .425 for the season !

    Also ... I keep thinking mirotic is omer Asik because they both wear 3

    Portland had 15 offensive rebounds in game 1...the Pelicans better stop all these 2nd chance points

    I don't know what's worse.

    The fact that either the referees in this game don't know the rules to call an over and back there, or they refused to call it until Portland blatantly point it out to them.

    Rondo needs to chill...

    Jrue is so underrated...I remember SIL acting like he was trash...

    if the Pelicans had a really good wing player they’d be scary

    Like a Kawhi Leonard?

    Too bad for them they have nothing at all they can trade.

    or a Paul George, but yeah, I don’t see how they’ll be able to make a meaningful upgrade there

    AD needs to touch the ball, every possession he's out there.

    New Orleans might need to have a think about how to defend a p'n'r quick smart.
