Willie Green recaps game vs. Boston | Pelicans vs. Celtics Postgame 1/29/24
After half time their started falling and went off in the fourth what changed um give them Credit First you know they turned it up in the second half Tatum Brown the rest of those guys Derek white hit some big shots um and that’s what good teams do they you know
They know that we were being physical to start the game they were missing some shots they stuck with it so give them credit and then you know I loved our effort I thought our effort um we executed well for maybe three and a half quarters of of the game and um we know
Our blind spots we know that the last five minutes of a game we have to execute better and get quality looks we had a few turnovers there down the stretch and you know that’s where we have to grow it and diagnos um I’m sure some of it is mental
Because we we’re having mental breakdowns during the last five minutes but we’re continuing to work on it we we we’ll continue to work on it watch film on it execute and practice uh but that’s that’s the area that we know we have to grow I know it doesn’t really count
Unless it’s a w but VI got off to such a hot start and seemed to be Prett synchronized tonight what you think of them together they were they were good bi was great uh Z was attacking and like I said for the most part we we like what
We saw and uh we couldn’t stain their run they got going and it was hard to to shut the water off so this is what they do and it’s a reason that they they’re they’re one of the better teams in the NBA um I loved like I said I loved our
Fight I thought our togetherness was was at a high level we executed for three and a half quarters but we just came up short it to Z movement as well as he was two games off the off theone bruing his foot like he was pretty you know pretty
Pretty yes we do we we do we we’re grateful to have him healthy and attacking and uh I thought he did a great job all night of of doing that you know a couple miscues down the stretch but seeing him healthy and attacking and looking like himself is is uh it gives
Our group confidence you six turnovers there in the fourth quarter which obviously you know deadly but you feel like the shot sele over the FL the off def um I don’t like the six turnovers at all um that’s where we have to be more mature as a team come down execute get a
Quality shot our guys in the locker room they know that we’ve talked about it all season long so I’m not happy with that part um for three quarter three and a half quarters we look pretty good and Boston turned it up that’s another area for us like when game goes to another
Level we have to meet that challenge and uh we fell a little short tonight thank you

HOW does he still have a job? worst head coach in the NBA BY FAR
"Give them credit"! After every loss he says the same shyt. Never tells you what he did wrong or what specifically happened in the game he could have made a better decision. Sorry as coach.
Pastor Green is at it again. “Give them credit”. It’s almost like he’s also preaching to the other team😅
Best coach to ever coach the pelicans.he the 🐐
How many times this season has a big lead been reversed?
The rotation in the fourth quarter was a disaster. Fire this rubbish coach (1 million annual salary, cheap but not good). Spend some money and get a better coach. Otherwise, the losing streak will continue and fall out of the top ten.
It’s not fair to Zion. Willie except Zion to win the game when the other team best player plays 6 more minutes than Zion. Instead Willie plays Dyson smh
Fire green . Same talk every loss . Give them credit ( we gotta be better closing games )
Buddy worse than Darvin it’s crazy
Give z more minutes how did y’all lose these leads smh 🤦♂️
Play intournament Dallas Lakers GSW pelicans choker
“Give them credit”. Y’all are crazy if you think our horrible ownership will actually do anything to help this team.
As a Celtics fan I thought y’all played great but Celtics run at the end won the game. When Celtics are clicking and the crowd gets into it, it’s hard to stop them. White hit like 4 3s in 5 mins!
Coach Willie “give ‘em credit” Green
Every time Z stepped on the court we went up 8+ points. Take him out and we we tied up or loosing. It’s obvious. Dyson is not effective on the offensive end. Teams know he isn’t shooting. Every game he passes to contested shooters he has a wide open 3. Idc if that’s not his strength. Neither is it Larry Nancy’s strength but he shot 56% on 20+ attempts in January as a 34% career average guy. The open shots are consistently there but we’re forcing the shots through specific 3pt specialist (Hawk,Trey) that are constantly contested shots. Y’all make it way more complicated than it has to be
4th quarter coaching was abysmal. No excuses
