PORTLAND – There’s really no delicate way to put this, but Ryan Anderson did his best by borrowing from a colorful recent quote by Indianapolis Colts backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, as the power forward described the stomach illness that kept him out of the New Orleans Pelicans’ weekend back-to-back games.
“In the words of Matt Hasselbeck, it was coming out of the basement and the attic,” Anderson said after Monday’s shootaround at Moda Center. “(I feel) a million, million times better than I was feeling a few days ago. That was a rough day. It was really rough and took a lot out of me.
