游戏时间下午5:00。电视：CSNNW.
赛季最终的多游戏公路旅行今晚在新奥尔良完成。希望这支球队从周日的比赛中休息，而不是充满了康博，谁知道从大容易的时间里脱掉了什么。
谈到，人们以为击败黄蜂队的人们将成为大型大卫西部的大型大型大型。这没有证明是真的。替换飙升的兴奋剂前后卡尔兰德里（记住他在休斯顿多年的好处？）大黄蜂普遍普遍存在。他们在最近11个中，他们在达拉斯，犹他州和凤凰队的最后11胜7-4次延伸。他们的损失？公牛，掘金，凯尔特人，湖人队。没有羞耻。这不是边缘的团队等待被推开。这是一支季后赛推动的团队。在42-32期间，他们在孟菲斯灰熊队的第7种种子1场比赛中夹着，背后1场比赛......猜猜谁？ That's right, the Portland Trail Blazers. Use whatever adjectives you wish to describe the importance of this game. It's deadly serious.
新奥尔良大部分常见的分母最近一直在得分。他们在过去5胜的4个中有100多遍。显然，他们需要从克里斯保罗得分，但他们也希望从长凳卫队威利绿色和jarrett杰克的生产。Marco Belinelli也有时从三分弧中贡献。尽管你可以拿出黄蜂队的小型，但他们会有很难产生足够的罪行来获胜。然而，当他们的守卫贡献时，他们只需要他们的两个前锋之一 - 兰德里和特雷弗·阿里扎 - 得分强劲，以保持竞争力。
随着兰德里的开始阵容，黄蜂队成为前面的恐怖防守团队。他和阿里扎与emeka okafor合作，形成一个敏捷，强大的三重奏，也可以反弹。凤凰太阳难道难以绘制得分的包裹，但在最近的比赛中，黄蜂队将它们占据了车道的18分。兰德里还从场地和奥克福58％拍摄53％。在这一点上，不要谈论Ariza拍摄，他是一名后卫。尽管周边的捍卫者为黄蜂队单独看起来弱，但由于良好的内部防守者而言，他们实际上是一个整体的良好防守单元。
新奥尔良的替补席上并不壮观，但它们是可维护的...有时候有些条纹。他们中的大多数都可以射击这三个。其中一些可以捍卫。总的来说，它可能是一个你想要到达射击后卫的群体。
黄蜂不快攻。他们不得分the paint. They pass the ball for open jumpers. One issue defending them is that you don't know where the shot is coming from, particularly with West out. Obviously Chris Paul is a threat but he's as deadly with the pass as with his points. You have to guard five men. Even the offensively-challenged Okafor is great when he's in range. If you find yourself scrambling against the Hornets you probably won't recover in time...a serious concern for the Blazers. That said, outside of Paul--and even he is gimpy--they don't have the player to make you bend your defense initially. Nobody on this team is an automatic double-team candidate. Nevertheless, Portland often finds themselves scrambling even against less serious threats, so they'll have to watch themselves tonight. It'll be particularly interesting to see the Hornets attack the zone. They're smart enough to find seams but they're also used to shooting at the same range the zone defenders should cover best. Their best bet may be offensive rebounds against the zone. Okafor and Landry are both nasty in that department.
反弹是波特兰的不断关键，并将在这场比赛中保持如此。板凳生产将很重要。但最关键的因素可能是除了跳线之外的任何东西都会被衡得的能力。燃烧器不会在里面免费看。最好的晴雨表可能是有多少犯规波特兰设法绘制。如果他们攻击车道并击中他们可以将那些防守初学者发送到松树，即使他们无法在过程中转换桶。寻找将Lamarcus Aldridge所涉及的方法也很重要。这不像是一场比赛，他可以只是慢毕业并自己得分。当他进入里面时，他将如何对被大，敏捷的男人感到震惊和咆哮？挑选和流行是否足够？ Can his teammates hit a shot when he passes to them? This isn't the night for Andre Miller, Wesley Matthews, Nicolas Batum, and Rudy Fernandez to go limp. Both Aldridge and Gerald Wallace will need the space that their scoring threat provides. The moment the Blazers' offense becomes predictable, grinding against a set Hornets defense, Portland is in trouble.
Finally the Blazers have to treat this game as seriously as the Hornets will treat it. Portland has had an extra day to think about it. They should be prepared. Taking the victory on the road against New Orleans will be no small feat but it's doable. It'll take a better performance than Portland has shown so far on this trip though...better even than they showed in the win at home against San Antonio. We've seen a lot of things out of this team but an overall sense of urgency isn't one of them. Tonight would be a good time to start.
