    Hell of a fight. Just didnt make shots down the stretch. Amazing game by Naji despite the losing effort. Back at it tomorrow vs Dallas.

  2. Sslagathor

    When BI/Zion come back Naji needs to start over Herb, hes earned it. Also Jax is just terrible the sooner hes back to DNPs the better.

  3. Gamez6444

    Missing our 2 best players, we played well. Trying to match Kyrie and KD without BI and/or Zion is tough.

  4. BubbleGumGuy94

    Oh great another game tomorrow against a team that will make JV unplayable

  5. poorwhitecash

    Can’t win em all guys.. good effort. Get healthy and keep up the good bench play. Go pels

  6. lmao12367

    Hell of an effort missing out top two players

  7. Another_Comet

    Feel like the Pels are anti-clutch. Always lose decent sized leads. Mark of a young inexperienced team

  8. causewaytoolong

    I’m not gonna trip over this one. No Zion, no BI. We’re gonna be just fine.

  9. DaggersKnuckles

    It’s tough when you’ve got your two best out. They fought hard. Have to secure rebounds better but that’s been a problem of this team’s all year. Gonna be tough tomorrow at Dallas on the second of a back to back. Hopefully BI comes back sooner rather than later on this road trip

    I’m not gonna call this a moral victory because this was an extremely winnable game. The lack of offense in the 4th with playing Devonte and Larry too long was the beginning of the end imo.

    Shoutout to Jose and especially Naji for bringing the energy. But Trey getting 5 shots is a war crime. JV needs to get better hands on these putbacks, really coulda used those 2nd chance opportunities.

  11. daybreaker

    refs boned us in the 3rd with ticky tack calls, and then we boned ourselves by bricking everything in the 4th

    Still, we’re missing our top 2 guys, and Larry isnt 100%, and we _still_ almost beat a full power Nets team.

  12. This one stings. The Pelicans should have won it, they let the Nets off the hook

  13. LuthorNZ

    Our guards played extremely well, and our bigs played an irredeemably shit game. Lots of concerns around the 4/5 position, and some searching questions to be asked.

    CJ and Naji carried this, really happy with their contribution.

    Shoulda woulda coulda on the health front – no one’s fault, but we need our stars back on the court. To be halfway through the season and virtually never having our best three players on the court together is ridiculous.

  14. Not much to say. Pels played well but lost to a better team

  15. Tyschurr

    Lost a winnable game because JV was more worried about getting a whistle instead of the 2-ton sized fucking mammoth he is. Soft ass game from him. Lost the game when he flailed up a shot at the rim late which led to a wide open Royce O’Neal three that ended up being the dagger. Dunk the fucking basketball.

  16. ZachPlaysDrums

    Idk if it should’ve been a foul but JV losing the ball at point blank range was the end. He’s so weak in the post relative to his size

  17. Wrecker1127

    A great defensive big and better three point shooters is a glaring need.

  18. ExternalEbb2584

    Just gotta keep our head above water till BI gets back. Bigs need to step tf up next game cant be getting boomed by the Nic Claxtons of the world

  19. Savings-Bird-1226

    JV is useless against playoff teams. Cant stop Jokic, Ayton, gets bullied by them memphis boys, we know he can’t guard the warriors, hell even The Jazz put a hurting on him. Now we play the nets and you got Claxton looking like Dennis Rodman. JV trash

  20. Not_on_Herb

    Ngl Tae shouldn’t play at all anymore. And Herb needs to be benched when teams are just completely ignoring him offensively

  21. _Wado3000

    Play Kira tomorrow. Don’t play Nance.

    They’re length made a big difference, this was a game for Dyson and Jax to shine. Trey needs to take the 3rd or 4th most shots on the team every night, get him more opportunities in the offense.

  22. Common_Pomelo9952

    Well that was one of the worst fourth quarter offenses I’ve seen

  23. Razor-Ramon-Sessions

    Naji been balling out. This is kinda what ppl were saying when they said we could trade Josh because we had Naji.

  24. I didn’t understand the long stretch without Trey in the 2nd half when we was struggling to get a bucket.

  25. Organic_Climate_7585

    They should have hacked Claxton every time he got an offensive board. He can’t hit FTs to save his life

  26. GentlestCrib15

    Let’s try to get a win tomorrow is all I have to say
