Jake how are you using prize picks in New Orleans
AMAZING BREAKDOWN OF B.I. – Them 2s are not effective!!!!
I would tend to agree. I would say that the turnovers are a concern but they are going to happen considering the personnel and the pace of play. Don't really have anyone with true or great handling skills except CJ, and he is ok to good. Z will always have a few turnovers while he is driving with all the defenders sticking their hands in there and the lack foul calls he receive. B.I. will have always have a few two too if he is going to the sudo point going forward. It is more of just the silly ones the Pels need to cut down on. Yeah, Z should eat this game vs the Knicks as well.
I’d argue that the line ups that he had in there with him with no Zion didn’t do him any justice. Despite the defense, I’d like to see him in there with CJ, Hawk, and Ryan. He was fighting for his life to get shots off with those Dyson/Herb line ups. Let me reiterate, I do get it.
@nolajake how many were live ball turnovers? I know we has a number offensive fouls that can be fixed. Dyson has two in back to back possessions. Jonas has a few as well..
Last season didn't they blow Brooklyn out frist fame
Everyday err 🎉 let’s go!
The turnovers will improve Zion did a few silly ones and those won’t happen as often.
Pelicans win 110-99
He's clearly not a three-point shooter but y'all insist on him putting up shots that he don't do that's going to drive down his shooting percentage that's one two for him that mid rain shot is a better shot than a three-point shot you got to understand the person the player you want him to take shots that he don't take that's not his game you have Shooters let them shoot let bi do with BI do
I wouldn’t go so far as to say they aren’t an issue, but with a new style of offense comes more turnovers. That is simply statistically true. I agree with pace being a factor, but it also felt like some of the errors and turnovers were due to a lack of coordination with the plays they were running. Most of this i’m sure comes from the fact that BI, Zion and CJ were on the floor together and they weren’t really sure how to respond to the coverage since they haven’t played much together. I’m assuming after a few games the synergy will kick in and we’ll see less turnovers.
Not many of the turnovers were "live ball" where you could not get back & set your defense. Memphis playing at home is a high scoring team yet they struggled to reach 100 points taking them hitting 3s to reach that mark.
Every dayer, love the show, Jake!
so maybe we should get a turnover rate, as in turnovers per 100 possessions, or something like that.
More pocessions also means more times we have to defend. It works for both teams.
I think the turnovers are due because they are running a new system on the offensive side
let BI handle the ball if they don't want Turnovers
Did anyone see how there was a lack off the bench celebrations with Zion after a big dunk…chemistry isn’t there. He also just looks like he’s half assing the entire time. This team is loaded. He is a liability. Guarantee he’s drops or fake drops the season – max 35 games
Hi Jake
It’s still a turnover but Zion teammates throw quite a few bad lobs which= turnovers. Watched pre session as well and it is a issue but still more comfortable they get with each other, the better.
