Pelicans VS Thunder - February 2nd

[msusousaphone]

Sometimes I'm inclined to think jptrolldog20 is one of his alts. Too much in common

I was thinking just yesterday that he sure quotes him a lot.

Just the fact that the guy has so many alts is sad. And look.....I actually somehow managed to used "fact" in a sentence about him. That's a new one.


But hey. A win. So there ya go. Let's keep it surging.

Did We actually won a game without Demarcus Cousins? Wow what a sweet suprise! I'm really pleased with the effort! Good job guys!

I seriously think the Mirotic move was huge for the franchise. It's not just a talent blow when you lose a superstar, its a body blow to your morale. Especially when you've been a long term losing franchise finally getting your first sniff of winning in years. All of your hope gets snuffed out. A big part of your team personality, a guy the lesser guys look to to pick them up when they struggle etc. You lose a guy like that and it becomes easy to quit. You feel cursed.

But now the front office goes out and makes a major acquisition like Mirotic, the Clippers wave the white flag in the interim, and all of a sudden its like the sun coming back out. Rather than curling up and tanking and letting the momentum die and be snuffed out, the Pels organization finally sent the message that we believe and we want to compete and we'll even go get you reinforcements. Everybody picks their heads up a little, gets a little bounce in their step. Everybody gets a little of their belief and fight back even before Mirotic laces them up.

All hail Threekola Miroswish

ESPN had to mention that OKC was missing Roberson as an excuse why they lost besides their tired legs and brains. We have been missing Solomon Hill (our wing defensive specialist) for the whole season and doubt they have mentioned that once. We were glad to see AD finally break out a smile near the end of that game. My wife mentioned that he hadn't smiled in a while. Hopefully he has stopped feeling sorry for himself because of the Pelicurse, and will return to enjoying world domination.....

E’twaun Moore shut me up last night.

right on bruh....we still need that big center to deal with bigger centers to keep AD off of them in the early mins of games...

We do have some nice pieces for a deep run next year. We need to develop our talent.

Moore
Mirotic
Hill
Diallo
Jackson

Still need to do something about our PG/SF situation.

To be fair the Thunder were coming off of an intense game vs one of the top teams in the West. It's not a lie to say that they were drained both mentally and physically, but a win is a win.

To be fair, we were also playing without one of our superstars, and a very shallow bench...

I'd say between our injuries, and them being "tired", it was a pretty even match
