Do you believe the Blazers will steal (at least) one game in New Orleans?

    Interested to see if Stotts tries a Hark/Aminu/Collins frontcourt. Spreads the floor and could be good enough on D and the boards. Also gives Stotts the option to switch almost anything, at least late clock.

    I know the staff likes pairing Davis w/ Collins, but Ed has been exploited in the pnr and hasn't been a force protecting the rim.

    Stotts doesn't even want to be tempted

    I definitely would. Put Hark on Holiday, Aminu on Davis, and Collins on Mirotic. Harkless and Aminu would switch Holiday-Davis pick n rolls. Collins/Aminu could stop the Pelicans in transition by picking up whichever of Mirotic/Davis is closest to them, and Aminu/Harkless could do the same with Holiday. Would take communication but we wouldn't have to pick up specific matchups to protect ourselves from mismatches if we have guys that can defend multiple players on the court.

    I really hope we stick Harkless on Holiday all game long. Holiday uses his strength and size for a PG to get into the paint. He's not a blow-by guy, and he likes to finish over guards in the paint. Harkless would neutralize his size and strength, and would take away those finishes he likes. Harkless and Aminu would also be switchable on Mirotic pick n pops and Davis pick n rolls depending on who Aminu is guarding.

    It's funny how my posts are gold before the game and slowly degrade into a toxic waste after Stotts doesn't do anything I suggest...

    Okay guys. I take full responsibility for those first two losses. I wasn't wearing my lucky Blazer shirt. No worries though. I've got it on now. This game is in the bag. You're welcome.

    God dammit, the Blazers have lost every playoff game they have showed that ad for TacoCat.

    And they just showed that ad again.

    I'm fucking tired and have a headache from work. Please just win this game. I don't have the energy to be pissed off and disappointed right now.
