Don’t overthink it, there is one big reason the New Orleans Pelicans lost to the Utah Jazz



Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans lost AGAIN to the Utah Jazz. Jake Madison saw one glaring reason why and breaks down why a lack of 3-point shooting cost the Pels this game. The good news is that CJ McCollum is set to return for the Pelicans this week and should help in that regard. Also, what happened to the Pels defense?

    No Matt Ryan doesn't change the outcome of this game. U said the Pels would win with Zion playing and of course they lost

  4. jj Scrilla

    NOOOOO INTERIOR DEFENSE!!! Their lack of size and athleticism at Center and PF is going to be their downfall.

  5. Prison Mike

    What happened, bro? I thought they lost last time because Zion was out and he is so important? Still wanna trash on BI?

  6. Big Swole

    Dyson Daniels is a bum Point Blank

    I noticed a benched him the last half of the fourth quarter he was unplayable on the offensive side of the ball in hell even on defense he looked 50/50

  7. ChompyDoc

    Kyle Korver (my fav player) should come out of retiretment and just stand in the corner for the pels

  8. James

    My takeaways as a Jazz fan:
    Zion is unstoppable
    Refs hosed you guys in the 3rd
    Hawkins is a lethal shooter
    Daniels is useless
    Zion and Ingram don’t compliment each other at all
    Y’all need Trey Murphy back cuz only Hawkins can shoot

  14. Will Bill

    I don’t mind losing when we playing hard….Jake has a good take BUT ITS EASIER THAN THAT…..if Zion is a 60% FG shooter HE NEEDS 25 SHOTS A GAME …..that simple

  19. Sam Hillson

    dyson Daniels is an above average defender who can sometimes drive to the basket- he is not a shooter and jujst like the overrated Marcus Smart- he will lose a lot of games for them

  20. Ken Duke

    Yes ,I agree that there three point shooting was a big factor in this game. I hope they understand if Zion start shooting more all these shooters will be gone, so they better make the best of it.. lol.plus Jazz had more fire power .Kelly,Sexton,Hudson,Clarkson. Plus the big guy blocking all the shots, Walker it is .Pelican singularly relied on two guys and a shooter for a night games ,lol. and if the shooters are bricks .surely looseing. .cause Zion can be limited Ingram like he in his own head sometimes…lol

    @nolajake, we’ve had to play the 2 home back to back in Utah the last few years where they get the home games. Is this just a schedule quirk or something that will be continual? Just curious as we’ve done this the last few years it seems!

  26. Comfortable Views

    Zion lied. He said he wanted to win. Obviously it’s a lie, he missing games not getting a rhythm going. This not college. 😂 can’t just turn it off then turn it back on. Smh. I’m definitely not getting my hopes up this year. What for. B.I. needs to stop taking long contested 2’s when it’s under 10 sec. What did they learn from last year?

  28. Hakeem Batiste

    We had our two best players and we lost again to a team prior to playing us,was 4-11.willie and this team is underachieving at this point even at .500

  32. Lance Stevens

    It's not so much we lose twice to the Jazz. It's that big picture, I think we'll finish as a play-in team. Which is frustrating because of the talent we have. And while we will eventually get CJ and Trey back, I have no confidence that BI or Zion will stay healthy the remainder of the year. Between now and New Year's, we have a fairly easy schedule. If we can't come out of this stretch plus .500, I hate to say it, but Willie's job needs to be looked at.

  33. NOLA G

    Mr. ErryDat'rr👈🏾 Thanks Jake! I've said this for the past several years now, the Jazz simply have our number. We can't seem to beat them no matter who's playing on either bench. Whenever I see them on our schedule, I automatically count that as a loss.

  35. Hubeef

    The reason is– COach FAILED AGAIN=took out Zion at tie game situations bc the clock told him it was time. ADVICE , let Zion stay in the game and win it
