Fell asleep right when Pels Blazers started |l. Looks like AD went off then faded a lil at the end or just didn't get touches for whatever reasons. Were Dame and CJ just missing looks or were the Pels getting good contests on everything? 13-41 :sick:



Today's the day

Both. Pels defense was fantastic and Jrue Holiday was bullying Dame early. At the same time the duo was shooting terribly in a probably unsustainable fashion.
 
That's one of the possibilities for slander on today's docket

Others being:
Russ
Don Mitchell will most likely get ribbing from the Ben Simmons fans if he doesn't perform
First option KAT watch
Playoff Harden watch

Not a terrible day for some slander
How dare you miss CP playoff slander.
Other possible opportunities
Wiggins shot selection and beingn allergic to anything but shooting.
Thibs rotation.
 
Underrated where exactly?
You have a rookie leading a team to the 3rd spot in the east and likely to the ecf. A freaking rookie!! Oh and he’s toying with the oppenonents and doing it all, all without a 3 point shot. He should be in mvp convos. Yet media still questioning him at ROY. That’s called “underrated”

can't win ROTY because he is a 2nd year player, shouldn't be an All Star because he is a rookie
 
I would like to take a look at their defensive production since Cousins went out anyone have those numbers?
Interesting read on a Blazers blog on Pelicans defense since Cousins went out. DC column shows their numbers and rank with Cousins, MARVEL column shows their numbers and rank without Cousins

CP opportunity slander won't come until AFTER the first round :wink:
Wiggins is universally slandered by all, thus assumed
Same goes with Thibbs
 
Does Greek get a pass from y'all if he can't get past this depleted Celtics team?
 
I would say it was a little of both. Dame and CJ got looks and missed but also Pels were playing some exceptional swarming switching team defense. Was definitely not expecting that as they aren't an exceptional defensive team

I would like to take a look at their defensive production since Cousins went out anyone have those numbers?

Anti wasn't lying. They really were washed this year. They really weren't one of the 9, or maybe 10 best teams in the west this season.

He does from me. But then again I don't blame CP for never making a conference final or Lebby for "only" winning 3 rings in 8 tries etc. etc.

He's 23, I also take that into account. He's going to be competing for conference finals and possibly rings soon enough

Thank you for that, it further supports the numbers I posted above without Cousins

Looks like they definitely amped up their defense since he left but yeah I'm not ready to give him the John Wall treatment yet

In fairness to Boogie they won 7 of 8 before he got hurt including beating a fully healthy Rockets team.
 
You need a bucket in a playoff and you draw up a play for a guy averaging 5 ppg? :lol:
Do we know for sure Pat was the #1 option? Just throwing it out there

Either way Stotts wasn't really to blame for that loss, Blazers were putrid on offense (they were getting decent looks) and got lucky Pels almost choked it away to begin with
