Thatās what BI needed to get going I think. I hope. I dunno. This was sad, but Iām glad I stuck around.

If you donāt decide the game, the refs will. We shouldnāt have let ourselves get down so much.

Arhhhh I fucking hate losing man. We got fucked but we also fucked ourselves early. Gonna make it even funnier beating the Lakers sunday rolling in with 10 straight Ls.
Only silver lining is BI looked at least 80% of himself tonight.

This game was def lost bc of us so I donāt want to say we lost bc of the refs when I say thisā¦ but wtf was that out of bounds call!!! BI wasnāt out. But not only that, they let a couple seconds run off the clock after he was āoutā. Since when do they not at least review to check the right game clock?!?!
newgodpho
Comeback was absolute thrillingā¦ but 10 in a row is still indefensible. Still though, atleast it seems like BI is finally heating up. It takes him so long to get going but seems like heās back.

He wasnāt out man

nothing more pelicans than a 4th quarter comeback that ends up in disappointment anyways

I hate how Willie’s gone back to playing Larry 16-17 minutes straight to close games. He was doing that early in the season, and it resulted in Larry getting hurt and having to miss time. It’s just dumb rotation management, you can’t play an injury prone player that many minutes straight.

we put ourselves in this situation. We lost in the first half

Looking closely at all our assistant coaches. Do they *really* develop our players well, or at all help during games?

Trade Devonte straight up for Luca .. who sayz no ?
Infinite_Response113
Nah I’m not buying this fake comeback stuff…we legit should have had the ball back in a one-possession the game. With Luka out we were obviously winning OT too
Senor_Pug
Bruh it’s like the same game over and over again we give up a huge lead then almost comeback to just fall short everytime I’m going fucking insane

Iām sure thereās gonna be a bunch of comments that we should expect this without zion, but fucks sake we were briefly talked about as a contender a month ago.
If we canāt win a single game in 3 weeks without zion then we were bound to get exposed in the playoffs anyway

I feel like BI found his rhythm at least by the end
SpaceAfricanJesus
PSA: donāt fall behind by 30 and hope for the other teams best player to leave early to have a shot to come back.
Yea the call at the end was bad but we gotta look at the bigger picture.
BubbleGumGuy94
Honestly Iām gonna get downvoted for this but i gotta say it, Brandon in the fourth was so much better and apart from early on he played really well, so did cj, Larry and naji, and to some extent JV (although I canāt excuse him being a cone but thatās his size more than anything) but, trey, Jose, Kira and herb (offensively) and willies coaching, were the reason we lost.
This team is screaming for a trade and at this point yeah go get og and a 4 who can shoot because this is the reason weāre losing, if we had any shred of 3pt shooting skill we would have won this with luka out
Also willie, run sets that benefit the players you have, if JV is on the court slow the offence to a more grinding set to allow him to actually be able to keep pace, I feel so sorry for JV when we run back on offence
AnotherStatsGuy
Can somebody locate the Velvet Room/Oddity at play here! Is the Social Link that only gets half-completed and barely receives any attention? Did the Lost Snail finally book it from Arara-rararagi and come to New Orleans?
This is the NBA equivalent of that smart kid with ADHD. They have everything they need to succeed. They just have to figure out how to unlock it and output it consistently. (Which I guess makes Zion the Ritalin in this scenario.)
I mean, what is this? I’ve gotten more entertainment mileage out of Death End Re;Quest this past month than the Pelicans.
Fuck this team, I’m going to the game on Saturday.

DaggersKnuckles
This one hurt. Shit first half. Really pathetic performance in the first half. Got lucky Luka went out but glad BI could get into somewhat of a groove.
Also on a side note glad we saw no Devonte tonight. Kira wasnāt good offensively but him actually being able to dribble and drive and throw up some layups allowed for some easy rebounds/putbacks for Jonas. Something that Graham doesnāt do at all. Might as well have Kira out there if theyāre both gonna shoot like ass
BubbleGumGuy94
Thinking about what trey is doing starting, it seems he definitely is a bench player at the moment, if we did somehow trade for og I would move trade to the bench then start og over him, so our starting group is much better defensively and og will take 3s
Then trey can come in and not have to worry about guarding starting players and can shoot because the spacing will be better
Mesame121489
Maybe this is recency bias but this one hurt more than the other 9
BasketTimely
Glad BI looked good tonight. Was gonna take him a couple games to get in rhythm. Just look how Kawhi started out compared to now.
Excited to see what happens before the trade deadline!

Willie has to change his play calling. They are running the same play on offense and running the same coverage on defense. The team has been spamming them since last March and people have figured it out and they can just defend it the same way every time because Willie won’t run another play. This team never hunts mismatches and teams know they won’t do that so they switch everything and get away with putting forwards and guards on JV
ggmey
I know Iām in the minority here with all the Devonte hate in this sub, but why does he get a DNP when this team is chunking up bricks from 3 the whole game? Would we rather have Herb putting up 3ās? We need better outside shooting, and if we really want to have a chance to advance past the first round in the playoffs Griff needs to part with a few of those number ones heās stockpiled and make a trade.

Larry Nance played 16 straight minutes!!!! While Jonas, who had a double double in like 20 minutes did not play a single minute
Willie Green is black Dennis Allen
JakeGittes74
What is going on with these guys? Earlier in the season, when BI and Zion were out, the other guys looked competent. Now itās a bunch of standing around while Herb jacks up 3s. Thereās absolutely no movement. We canāt stay in front of anybody. No gritty defense leading to fastbreaks. No urgency. Maybe this is what no wins does to a MFer. Decimated mentally and physically.

Luka absolutely scorched us. And by that I mean he just walked up to the basket multiple times and laid it in with little to no defense being played. I get players are scared of favoritism and calls for big name players but at some point you canāt just let him get in the paint without some sort of contact.
The first half was atrocious.

Honestly, Iām used to losing. I believe after the All star break weāre going to pull it together. If not, Iām a day one and Iāll ride or die whatever the record is
