    I'm just saying that winning one game were not supposed to in the upcoming couple of weeks is equivalent to that.

    We take care of NOP, WAS, then take our 15-9 record and try our luck against HOU and GSW. Steal one of those and were at 16-10 after a more balanced schedule.

    There's not. Our defense is great and are offense has underperformed and we've gotten unlucky in close games.

    Your statement leads me to believe you are a rare Pelicans fan.

    Remember the clippers series 2016? What happened? Cp3 and griffin got hurt and we won the series, i know it Sounds weird but we better lost that Series and we wouldn't have paid max contracts to mediocre players. That's happened when you play against teams who missed their best players

    I watched the jazz vs Pelicans game last night. Every time Boogie got the ball, ricky rubio came to help Favors and double Cousins. Rubio could that because he was guarding Rondo (a non shooter). Quin Snider is really one of the Best defense coaches in the league. Lets see what's Stotts Plan is to defend Cousins

    Nice! We usually do pretty well when other teams have one of their top players out. Wall, Russell, Conley....Blazers win!

    My brother is Pelicans. I m Portland, but I like the Pels a little because of him. Wish them lucky always, but not against my Blazers.

    Fact. Wolves don't working well with that, they lost to the Wizards at home without wall. Fuck that we need to win games.

    Only reason I probably wouldn't trade CJ for him. Can never count on the guy. Injury-prone centerpieces are a horrible way to build a team.

    Well if the inexcusable happens there is a Meltdown thread ready and waiting. You can get free likes and totally blow the team up there.

    It's just nuts. He has played 75 games in one year but the rest are all in the mid 60's. That actually isn't that bad but pretty consistently misses 20 games a year.

    Out of the blue, Meyers arrives and has the most phenomenal game of his life.

    He's the basketball equivalent of Andrew Luck. World Class Talent.....Glass Made Body.

    This is definitely a must win tonight. No excuses. And yes, I'm looking forward to watching Meyers piss off Cousins.

    Oh, and us too. Because he inevitably will.
