Josh Richardson missed the memo that Pelicans like to choke close games.

Just like we drew it up

Us versus the world but also versus the refs.

That last shot was a little too close for my liking. Happy to get the win tho 😅

The New Orleans pelicans are 1-0 since /u/Briguy_fieri ate finger sandwiches for dinner

Build. Around. Josh. Richardson.
In all seriousness, Shoutout to BI, he dropped his 30+ that he needed to. Why are these games against OKC always so dramatic?

Win is a win. Got it on the road. JRich with 7 combined steals and blocks. Back at Wednesday vs LA
LuckyWarrior
30 wins finally, 8 to 10 games too late but hey we still in there

Getting a Western Conference road win without CJ is HUGE.
Just what the doctor ordered after the unfortunate Zion news

Ingram with the clutch bucket over Dort! Phew, stressful.
Reasonablechesse
BI hit some crazy shots at the end there. I know they have some good wing defenders in Dort and Williams but damn our offense looked garbage in crunch time

Can I just say that we almost lost it on another out of bounds call by a ref, same as the mavs one, these refs need to taught how to use their eyes!
In all seriousness BI and J rich!!

If Josh Richardson plays like this, the Pelicans are going to have to go into the luxury tax to keep him.
They only scored a field goal after a stop 4 or 5 times all half, and none in the 3rd. (But 4 FTM at the end of the 3rd) But they chose great times to do it.
These games could cure anxiety. After these, how could anything else be seen as stressful?

Wire to wire win and it feel like we were fighting for our lives the entire 2nd half. That’s Pels Basketball baby!!

Imagine that an athletic 6’6″ guy fits in better defensively than a 6’0″ guy when playing alongside Jose

Not gonna lie. Even though it was a win, it’s deflating to see the team keep making the same mistakes over and over again. They always make it more difficult than it needs to be. Lazy inbounding. Low IQ reads on offense. Jose making the most mindless reads I’ve seen in some time. No accountability from the players. I can’t help but think it’s on the coaching staff more than anything else. The rotations are garbage. Jose should have been benched this game. JV should have finished the game. There is no semblance of consistency from the coaching staff.

Remember the narrative on this sub about BI not being able to close games?

I love watching CJ talking shit on the sideline as well, giving the too small sign when bi hit the dagger over dort

Brandon HIMgram… damn I hate this “what if” season so much 😒

We do not win this game if we hadn’t traded Devonte for Josh Richardson, that’s a fact
Apart-Cucumber-7090
So many of y’all better stay on that side when it comes to BI
Bro took the Pels on an unexpected run last season without Zion and as soon as BI got injured they were shitting on him as if Zion hasn’t missed more time
And then when BI gutted it out to come back from his foot and he was expectedly rusty for a few games this sub wanted him gone
Ungrateful bunch

Big win, will 100% need CJ for next game though and JV to continue giving something on offense
rustymurderer13
It’s time for Ingram to carry this team as Zion did.
theARBITON
Fanduel needs to get their shit sorted because I mightve just been screwed out of a nice $250 parlay…

Let us not forget those two absurd jump shots BI hit down the stretch.
The man is a star

Needed this one. Excited to see J Rich more on this team
boxster233
I don’t get how people say Willie isn’t an X and Os guy. The guy calls all our plays from the bench and tells our team where to position themselves down the stretch.
Also tonight should quiet the people that complain about Willie not using timeouts to stop runs. He repeatedly used timeouts to stall OKC runs.
Next lesson: Team must improve inbounding in late-game situations.

JRich extension better be in the works already
