Nothing much brother man. How dem Pels look
Russiculouss....
Season ticket holder since 2002
Mostly just trying to satisfy my OCD tendencies by getting to 3,000 posts
Russ needs to get pt
1-6
Miller not 3 or D
Once again, Jimmer is taken out to close the game after playing well.
Odd.
question answered
"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
big run ongoing by the Wiz... trying to steal this game... they're up 4 now
Shame on me for relaxing my guard. Oh and BTW our closing 5 when the season begins and games count will be AD, Jrue, Tyreke, Ryno and Gordon. I don't get you noticed that AD is also on the bench closing out the game. How often will that happen during the regular season?
Not that odd

Rivers needs the new Pelican beak in the lane to guide his FT attempts apparently
That is why it was designed that way. Our home FT shooting % will be money by shooting down the beak.
Wizards 94 - 89 Pelicans Final
Team shot 36% from the field... That can't happen.
Gordon led scoring
Nest Tuesday against Rockets should be entertaining.
I'm not ready to become a fan but Jimmer is the only one to shoot 50% or better the first 3 games. Haven't seen a game to know if he can play enough D for it to matter or not.
Lot's to like despite loss. Need to take advantage of TO's which we did not. Need to control fouls. Nice to see Ryno, Jrue and Eric healthy. Bench surprises include Jimmer and Babbitt. Austin continues to disappoint and needs to make clutch FT's to matter. Miller not answer. No 3 and no D. Salmons will sit a lot unless he improves. Ask will be huge. Tyreke also. AD will dominate.

Spoiler warning: He can't.
Did you go to the game?
It seems like it would be pretty hard to have 9 turnovers...geez wall.
28 - 3 pointers taken.
I wonder if that is a sign of things to come or just preseason?

I've seen enough of Jimmer's game to know that defense is something he will always struggle with.
I say he can't, but it kinda is a damning evaluation. His defense can't make up for his world-class shooting ability, I don't believe. But he can still be very, very useful for us. Just can't have him on the floor in clutch situations. Far as I'm concerned, he's a better shooting Brian Roberts.
The problem with Roberts was he was constantly used like he was a PG, due to his size. Both need to be off ball.
I also eagerly await seeing him play becaue I can't listen to basketball on the radio for long. The game is too visual and rapid. Football is different. Things happen slower and commentators can go into depth for each play.

right on the average from the previous 2 preseason games... so it's starting to become a trend
Is your voice as good as your posts? Is it as smooth as Jrue. Or Omer? Got to admit Omer sounds a lot like Lurch from the Adam's Family, other wise known as Carel Struycken.
So you haven't watched him play, you're just regurgitating hearsay. I watched the Hawks game from start to finish, I don't think Jimmer let his man (Schroder) score on him the entire game. In fact he caused a couple deflections and an offensive foul.
I'm sorry, but the bad defense line is getting really, really old.
Edit: You do realize that Jimmer had a better defensive score than both Rivers and Gordon last season right?

I like Jimmer for a spark off the bench. He could even spell players if they're playing crap, like Rivers or Gordon if they're not shooting well.
Like the idea of hungry guards fighting for minutes, means they'll give you more effort
