Very early morning comment
I’m loving Kira’s speed and improved finishing
Mr. ErryDat'rr👈🏾 Thanks Jake. Ppl are quick to say trade CJ and/or JV, but they're the ONLY durables on the team
Good morning!! Pelicans everyday, all day!! #FREETHROWS
At this point I'm done with BI. He's bn off since April 12th and has knee soreness after 2 freakn games! Trey get well soon my friend
Ingram is soft and fragile
WHY IS ZION RESTING ALREADY???? JUST GAME 5!!????
Matt Ryan is a steal pickup for us and ingram is sad
So brandon ingram was upgraded to knee tendinitis now ? More sus medical activity
Good win with step ups from Ryan, and continued beast mode from CJ 🏀🇬🇧
Errdayerr
Every Day
Seems not trading JV was the smart play despite the continued insinuation that it had to be done to play fast. Seems our inability to keep our 2 stars on the floor for more than 2 games calls for the ability to play in more than one style.
Hey Jake I like the Robinson-earl pickup. He gave the thunder some pretty decent minutes the last couple years but got pushed out by jaylin Williams. I think he can be a serviceable 5th big worth developing.
How long is Brandon going to be out.
We hit our free throws. That was key.
C.J. is a stud!
Not sure why you say Matt Ryan is weak on Defense. Stop. Shooters can play defense. He is a decent defensive player. The Coach thinks so. Wake up. Can't really take you serious anyway if you didn't prepare for show. You must be the only person who doesn't know what Pelicans transaction took place after game. Gates was released !!!!
