Huge game tonight. YUUUUGE
Pels win this one and they could very well be back to .500 by Wednesday with Memphis and Detroit coming up. A loss here and I don't know if they get to .500 before the trade deadline.
Matchup wise - Again, the Pelicans are playing a team that doesn't force turnovers so their offense should be fine. One area of concern will be the glass - as Portland does well on both ends. AD has been having to do it by himself lately, but tonight the Pels will have to team rebound.
As for strategy, I am a big fan of putting Jrue on CJ for the first 3 quarters. Take him out of the game and save Jrue a bit. Then, in the 4th, have him smother Lillard. Gut feeling is this game comes down to the final five minutes, but in this matchup, Jrue can get his on the offensive end. They won't struggle in the clutch tonight.
Pels 124
Blazers 120

I wish we would start Niko and have Randle come off the bench.

1) If MIrotic is a full go finally, why is he coming off the bench still? Goddamnit Gentry I swear. The AD/Jrue/Niko trio has been elite and it’s painfully obvious Randle doesn’t work as well as he just takes touches that would otherwise be AD because he doesn’t move the fricking basketball well.
2) Frazier Watch tonight. He typically will play well against the Blazers for some odd reason.

Winning the rebound war so far, impressive. Let’s hope we can keep it up. Team is looking good tonight on both sides of the ball.

Imagine getting destroyed by Jake fricking Layman and never switching any of your best perimeter defenders on him.
Lets sit around and watch Darius Miller get his life ruined.
