We own the Pelicans. Is that ten wins against them in the last 12?
Just actual fucking nonsense, also looks like franzs 3 ball may be coming back!
Tough win! Banchero was great! I didn’t like how we played down the stretch, we were up 20 at one point, way too sloppy. Bucks lost, pacers lost, let’s hope the Cavs lose as well. Coming down to the wire.
PLAY THE DAMN SONG!
Why didn’t Zion play those last few minutes? Guess they just wanted shooters?
30 min, 0 pts 0-3 , 0 +/- … will not cut it anymore
And MIL lost again. We’re only 2 losses behind them. This could get wild…
Lmao Zion got benched
Huge, huge win. Also, yet another example of Paolo haters making themselves look absolutely silly in the GDT. Cooked Zion
Fuck CJ. There’s a difference between matching a team’s physicality and intentionally trying to hurt other players.
He should’ve been tossed for that foul on Suggs. On the replay he purposely moved over and leaned in to him with no intention of making a play on the ball.
Excellent road win! Their warming up the sloppy start was satisfying to see, as the moment they got the lead, they just kept rising. Team made sure to leave a big enough gap keeping any comeback attempts at bay. Also what the heck was happening at the end? Free unnecessary points to Magic lol, since it has already been over when the clock had 15 seconds left. The Pel commentator was lowkey homer, but that frustrated comment about the ref was funny asf. Also, what a guy Suggs is! Constant defensive pressure throughout the game.
Suns up 14 already at the end of the first!
A few takeaways from this game:
– Was mostly in control since the start of the third, though i’m not a fan of the last 3-4 minutes or so, the guys got a bit lost. It was a game filled with a lot of emotion on both sides and you could see that, the players were chippy basically all game. It comes with a young team but some time in the future you’d want to see the guys be a bit calmer in a “tight” lategame situation where the opponent is still pressuring.
– Big fan of both Paolo and Franz having a good scoring game, especially the latter was in a dire need of that. 3-6 from three isn’t exactly world beating but its way better than most of his games this season and I hope this is the kinda Franz we get to see in the playoffs.
– Jalen was mostly there to defend today, and while McCollum had a monster game (particularly in the fourth), their other scoring guard in Murphy was almost completely taken out of the game, really glad to see that.
– Mo Wagner is so fucking good for a bench big, man. Just a really smart player that knows what to do and when to do it on offense, was massive off the bench tonight.
– What the fuck was the reffing in this game, on both sides. Just really inconsistent and a lot of the time it felt almost unreasonable. We weren’t the ones on the receiving end but the refs throwing out THREE pels players with 7s left to go in the fourth quarter of an already decided game is absurd lmfao, why even bother at that point, like cmon.
– Two Pels games and two times their star players are in a bad situation with high risk of getting hurt, Magic fandom aside as a guy that just likes good ball don’t really like to see that. Thankfully today the Zion fall didn’t seem nearly as bad as BI’s thing but what Gary did there was just kinda unreasonable.
– Pels broadcast guys are pretty good. A bit biased, of course, but imo decently within reason.
ORLANDO MAGIC! oooOoooOooOOoOo
Did Jalen get hurt for the season
Got to give Mose a lot of credit for the complete turnaround compared to the stagnant offense we put up against the Blazers. Ball was moving quickly, limited stupid turnovers, aggressive at the rim and hitting free throws.
PLOT TWIST: Yoeyz is the Magic fan that was yelling on the mic.
So I feel like Gary Harris made a real dangerous play, and probably should have gotten a flagrant.
Having said that, I don’t think it was intentional at all. In contrast, the pelicans play some dirty fucking basketball. Herb jones just straight up shoves Suggs nance blatantly shoves Suggs, and cj McCollum absolutely shoves Suggs as well.
I honestly enjoy watching the Pels vs the Magic games just as much as the Sac’s game. The pels are also a physical team, they play similar in style. They want to win through strength and mismatches similar to the Magic. These games always seem to have a little extra from the preseason matches to now. It was a gritty game, emotions got the best of both teams, refs were questionable for both sides and could not really get a handle for the game but I still think they did their best. I dont like the near injuries that all these games have (BI was actually injured before). Both teams gotta find a way to play physical without injuring themselves or others. Hope the Pels become an east team, its a fun team to watch.
ESPN showed a Magic highlight from tonight in between commercials, lol
The guy at the mic “has hit the jackpot”.
Bol 3 lol
Fun seeing all the Pels wanting to get to the locker room early. +3 for Franz
Needed that win , glad the fellas could close the door off of their big lead. We still need to figure out late game offense the final 6 min of a game are so tough to watch
Only 6 games left in the (regular) season y’all, Orlando firmly in control of its own destiny and only 2 games out from #2 Milwaukee with oh look, 2 games against the Bucks coming up
This game was over until that obvious flagrant by CJ. Then tempers flared and everybody played out of emotions.
Woah we’re about to be only half a game out of 3rd. Cleveland are getting whooped in Phoenix rn
I envy whoever gets to play the Cavs in the first round.
How much fun was that? Our boys, Whoopin some Pelican ass! Good game, young men. Starting to believe. Just sayin
Paolo played better defense against Zion than JI did tonight. Let that sink in. Absolutely dominant game from Paolo and Franz when we need it!
I want that Cleveland matchup so bad. They’re falling apart.
Nice win! So glad we took control going into the 3rd and kept our composure. On to the next.
4 seed? 3 seed? Cavs getting their ass beat. Gotta beat the Hornets and the Bulls. Pretty good stuff for us tired ol’ Magic fans.
Are we really 1 beat the Hornets away from the 3 seed?
