CJ McCollum: “No excuses. I’ve got to play better. We’ve got to play better defensively. We’ve got to be better taking care of the ball. If we get a shot every time, we can live with the results.” Added allowing points off turnovers and second-chance baskets is hurting #Pelicans – 11:32 PM
Jamie Hudson @JamieHudson_
Had to start the game late but goodness gracious this team. What a gritty win. This Blazers squad made it so difficult on Zion and BI. Shout-out Trendon and Drew on that end. Made them work tonight. Great to see Nas so aggressive too. Also, Jerami “has always had those handles”😁 – 11:31 PM

CJ McCollum on #Pelicans: “The ball will go in and we’ll win some games. This is just a tough part of the season. A lot of games on the road. A lot of tough losses… Everything’s not supposed to be easy. You’re supposed to go through trials and tribulations.” – 11:29 PM
Kerry Eggers @kerryeggers
The way @Jerami Grant is playing has the look of an All-Star right now. His overall performance through a dozen games has been terrific.

No way anybody can say Blazers aren’t legit. Move to 9-3 with 106-95 win at New Orleans. Portland is 6-1 on road, has swept a road back-to-back and has season wins over Phoenix (2x), at Miami, Denver, at NO. Winning while players like Dame, Nurk and Grant are hurt … impressive. – 10:24 PM

Final: Trail Blazers 106, Pelicans 95
New Orleans shoots 41.8% from the field, commits 17 turnovers. Some ugly offense.
Pels have lost 3 of 4. Time to go back to the drawing board. – 10:22 PM
Scott Kushner @ScottDKushner
The Pelicans have made 13 3-pointers in two games over the past two days.
Doesn’t seem feasible or sustainable in this league.
C.J. McCollum made one. He has to do more. Or this team will fail to meet its potential. – 10:21 PM

Positions don’t mean anything but the Blazers broadcast listing Jayson Tatum as a guard is too much. If elected, I will impose common sense positional identifications that represent our community. – 10:11 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Pels are running the offense almost exclusively thru Zion most of the 4th and having a ton of success.
The problem is they can’t get a stop on the other end. – 10:11 PM
Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_Lopez
Big challenge there by Portland that would’ve given Zion five fouls.
Instead, call on the floor stands. Block on Winslow.
6:32 left and instead of Zion AND BI having 5 each, Zion shooting FTs. – 10:08 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Portland is challenging that blocking foul. A member of the Trail Blazers coaching staff was so confident it’s a charge instead that he made the hand motion with aplomb. – 10:07 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Big challenge here for Portland. If successful, it means Zion and BI will both have five fouls with 6:32 left in this game. – 10:06 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Had a good view of it, looked like Zion just slipped, and Chauncey is going to challenge with the Blazers leading 91-84 with 6:32 to play. – 10:06 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Portland considered challenging a blocking foul that could’ve been a charge vs. Zion, but Blazers defender had his heels on the restricted circle. Otherwise probably would’ve been a Zion charge. Instead 3-point play – 10:05 PM

Zion missing two bunnies and Devonte not recognizing there was a loose ball — which hit him in the leg — has cost the Pelicans. 7-point swing and now the deficit is 9 points at 86-77. – 9:59 PM

Gut check time for the Pelicans. – 9:58 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Offense has been better than the defense in almost every category this season for #Pelicans, but tonight they’ve only scored 20 pts in first 15 minutes of 2H, as Blazers build 86-77 lead – 9:57 PM

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Watching Portland you can see why they are having success. Chauncey has those guys defending on every possession – 9:51 PM
Mike Richman @mikegrich
The Pelicans halfcourt offense is in the mudddddd. I thought Porltand’s zone was a little shaky in the first five minutes but they’ve been awesome since then and New Orleans can’t get anything against a set defense. – 9:50 PM

End of the 3rd quarter: Blazers 78, Pelicans 74
Murphy 16 pts, 3 blks
McCollum 13 pts, 5 rebs, 6 assts
Ingram 12 pts
Williamson 12 pts (5-6 FG)
Pels score 17 in the quarter after some awful execution on offense. Maybe get Zion a touch or two? – 9:48 PM
Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_Lopez
The Pelicans turned it over 9 times in the third quarter and that led to 10 points for Portland.
Blazers up 78-74 going into the fourth. – 9:48 PM
Aaron J. Fentress @AaronJFentress
One quarter to go and the Blazers lead 78-74 at the Pelicans. Simons, scoreless in the 1st, now has 23 points. The Blazers have a shot to hold this high-powered Pelicans’ offense to under 100 points. Impressive. – 9:48 PM

Something continues to look off about New Orleans’ offense. Zion has 6 shots after three quarters. Need to figure out more ways to let him create in space. – 9:47 PM

Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
#Pelicans challenge a blocking foul on Herb after Grant spun blindly and ran Herb over. Kind of stunned that was a block; that’s a charge about 95 percent of the time in NBA – 9:35 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Terrible call. JUST terrible.
Herb Jones was in perfect position for the charge but ruled a blocking foul.
Every single game we’re getting reminded of the fact that referees are NOT respecting Herb. Even on obvious calls. SMH – 9:34 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
They’re going to review that last foul call against Herb Jones. Anybody’s guess. – 9:34 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
All of @Anfernee Simons‘s points have come from three or the free throw line – 9:33 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Blazers figured to need big games from Simons and Grant (with Lillard a DNP). Grant was big in 1H and now Simons is heating up from deep. They are a combined 7/16 on three-pointers and have 35 of team’s 66 pts – 9:29 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Painful third quarter so far. Ball simply slipped out of Ingram’s hands for an over-and-back violation. A pass bounced off Zion’s face for another turnover. And now BI runs over a Portland player for a charge. – 9:28 PM

Damian Lillard is not pleased about not playing tonight, Chauncey Billups is saying. Moments ago,
Lillard walked past me in the tunnel and frowned.

Larry Nance Jr. is a game-time decision but Willie Green said he thinks there’s a good chance he plays. – 6:20 PM

Willie Green says Larry Nance Jr is questionable and will give a go during warm-ups. Says he’s optimistic he’ll be able to play – 6:20 PM

NBA League Pass Game of the Day: Blazers at Pelicans
Portland has quietly gone 8-3, tied for second in the West, with Dame Lillard in and out of the lineup. New Orleans hasn’t had their biggest stars available all the time either, but Ingram and Zion are slated to play tonight. pic.twitter.com/Cwc6ZsKQzM – 6:17 PM

Victor Wembanyama feels like he is ready to physically match up against Zion, Embiid & Jokic.
“I play against probably the best competition than any other player of my age on the planet. I know I’m ready.”

Kira Lewis finished off 2nd scrimmage by connecting on his last four 3-point attempts — one banker that drew jeers — and had few more blow-bys.
Side note: cool to see Herb Jones and Trey Murphy taking it all in from the bench — another example of how much they breathe basketball – 5:29 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
NBA’s L2M for Bulls-Pelicans says Brandon Ingram and Goran Dragic each got away with a travel and Ingram committed offensive foul on Caruso with 1:38 left (which I remember Caruso calling for.).
The no-call on DeRozan drive late was correct. – 5:25 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Watching Kira Lewis in a 5-on-5 scrimmage before tonight’s game right now and looks as fast as ever. Even got around Dyson Daniels off the dribble rather easily — super afterburners — a few times and was able to get all the way to the rim at least on a half a dozen possessions. – 5:16 PM

Here’s the 2023 LAL cap space situation for this July:
I project them at $31.9M with LBJ, AD, Christie & 1st (after NOP swap).
Wipe away Christie & 1st w/ no salary coming back that goes up to $35.5M.
That’s only enough for a 25% max ($33.5M).
30% max = $40.2M
35% = $46.9M – 5:01 PM

FWIW: After tonight, Portland’s next back-to-backs aren’t until Nov 29-30 and Dec 3-4. So even if the plan in the short term is to hold Dame out on back-to-backs it won’t affect more than a couple of games. – 2:55 PM

Not surprised they’re holding Dame out tonight on the second half of a back-to-back. They’ve been ultra-cautious with the calf injury from jump (he could have played vs. Memphis if they really wanted to) and they’ve already got a 3-3 split of the road trip at worst. – 2:40 PM
Mike Richman @mikegrich
No Damian Lillard tonight (calf injury management) the Blazers say. So scratch that Dame-CJ reunion thing. – 2:32 PM

Blazers say Damian Lillard is out tonight with “right calf injury management.” Nurkic and Grant are questionable. – 2:32 PM
