Game Thread PLAYOFFS: ROUND 1, GAME 2: PELICANS @ BLAZERS - APRIL 17, 2018, TUESDAY, 7:30 PM (PDT), TNT & NBCSNW

There needs to be changes, like Nurk, Nurk, and More Nurk. How 'bout doubling Davis like the Pels double Dame. Make others beat you. Time to go Nurk-u-ler.

 

I like that we have better odds than LeBron.

 

No one commenting on word that Collins may start?

 

link ?

 

Yes, but only to season ticket holders. To all else it's market driven.

 

Ahhh. I see.
Thanks for clearing that up.

 

Who's going to see Judas Priest tonight at the memorial coliseum?

 

Good luck finding parking and negotiating the traffic jam to those who are going.

 

I like Collins, but am not sure how that would make anything better? I guess if you move Aminu to the three and they both shoot their open threes it might work. It would also let Nurk and Collins switch coverage on PnR situations with Davis. Maybe it would work. Collins would certainly learn a lot from it. I still don't see it happening though.

Anything that gets ET and his lack of threat shooting off the court at the start is probably good. I guess that means you bring in Collins or Napier until Harkless is ready.

 

Without Harkless, you'd better get used to Turner.

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see Baldwin get more burn that Bazz usually gets

 

I'm honestly not so sure. After reading some of the expert analysis it does seem like having the wings be able to hit from three might be the primary help to taking pressure of Dame and CJ. As long as ET is on the court that won't happen. Harkless is the obvious and best solution, but if he isn't ready to go, I would argue that any of Pat, Napier, Baldwin or Collins (with Aminu at the 3) would be better for the starting unit.

 

That's a better sign than seeing him sitting in a suit or with a big bag of ice on his knee. Keep hope alive.

 

Good sign

 

Praying for no inflammation right now.
