    And you may ask yourself...

    "Why are the Blazers shooting around 30 per cent?"

    And you may ask yourself....

    "Where is all this team growth?"

    And as the days go by....

    He's not fast enough to match up with Boogie or Brow I watched him brick about 3 straight layups..he's only played 9 minutes..2 pts 4 boards......not his game...Leonard can keep pace with them

    Do none of you watch NBA games? Leads don't mean much.

    So down 14, shooting barely 30% from 3 and 33% overall with 9 turnovers. Pelicans are shooting 51% overall. If we can start hitting a few 3's and stop turning the ball over like we are playing hot potato we can get back into this in the third, if we are still down double digits heading into the 4th we might start seeing tired legs and shooting much like the first half again.

    I agree.

    I think what we're trying to do here is play them on their level by playing Half Court ball. That's not our strength against a team like NO, who excels at that.
