Yesterday the Blazers had a jaw dropping game against the Pelicans.  This was McCollom's first game after his long injury.  For McCollom to be a necessary player, the Blazers had to win by two or more points, but they didn't. I am comparing this game to another game earlier in the season against the Pelicans. After the first quarter, the Blazers were losing 34-28.  McCollom only had 8 points and Lillard had a nice 11 points only after the first quarter.  After the first half the Blazers were losing 64-50.  So far McCollom wasn’t playing too well.  My spotlight of the first half was Damian Lillard with 19 points and 5 assists.  After the 3rd quarter the Blazers were losing 95-82.  In the final 6 minutes Lillard led a spectacular comeback to steal the win from the pelicans.  Lillard had a stunning game with 50 points and ten assists.  Hopefully they can win by even more next game.  PLEASE FOLLOW MY BLOG!

The fans messed up.  For absolutely no reason Damian Lillard was outvoted by Luka Donic and Steph (air ball) Curry.  Luka Donic even admitted that Lillard should start instead of him.   Multiple sports reporters got mad about Logo Lillard not getting picked.  Recently Steph (air ball) Curry got hurt before his Charlotte game which might give Lillard the starting role in the All Star game.  Hopefully, Steph isn't too badly hurt, however Blazer fans wouldn’t mind if he missed the All Star game.
