Game Thread Game #80 - BLAZERS @ PELICANS - APRIL 7, 2022 - THURSDAY - 5:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

Let’s activate Hart and Winslow and try to win this game! Let’s give the Spurs some help!

 

We have two less wins than the Kings but I really doubt we're activating anyone for any of these last three games. I definitely wouldn't be against beating the Pelicans though. I think it would be more likely that us winning would get our hopefully eventual pick one spot higher than it would help the Spurs. The Spurs might not be favored in another game this season, or post season. If they are able to beat the Wolves in the next game, then they have just as good of a chance against the Curryless Warriors.

 

Game day!

 

I would think a win here would be a good thing?

 

The energy here at the arena is just absolutely ELECTRIC!!!!! Playoff vibes!!!!

 

This game should be sponsored by NyQuil

 

Zion looks like he’s ready to go!!!

 

Hey, where is everybody?

 

Come on Blazers you have to help Eubanks on defense.

He's killing them (the Pels) on the offensive end.

 

Oh McClemore. Shit. He thinks he's Jimmy Butler now.
If Louzada can get set and not pressured shooting three-pointers he can hit them like free throws.

 

Is Mac gonna choose tonight to play really bad?

 

I hope Williams told him that double was coming!

 

I guess it doesn't really matter. They did their job tanking for us so we can't complain if they lose another one.

 

Where the hell did Chauncey take out Louzada and leave Ben McLemore in? Louzada has drilled to three-pointers with ease.

 

I'm watching this game but I'm not sure I care about the outcome at all. Another reason why I wish they had sat McLemore down a long time ago. I want to see Didi, Keon, Greg and Brandon because they're the only guys that I think will be on our roster next season that are available tonight.

 

Any chance Kris Dunn had of being invited to camp next fall has been flushed down the toilet in the last five quarters plus one minute. He doesn't play like a dawg. He plays like a dog. Just going through the motions. So lazy.

 

Turns the ball over trying to post up miniscule Jose Alvarado. Then doesn't go after a 50/50 ball. Then completely falls asleep so a guy goes backdoor uncontested.

Time for him to find his life after basketball.

 

nice pass greg brown

 

Larry sure doesn't look like some throw in when he's playing at this level defensively and doing the hustle things on offense he does and will be doing it for the Pels at under 10M next season.
