Pelicans VS Thunder - February 2nd

[AusPel]

This franchise isn't dead and buried yet

We are in a position to win the game . We can’t allow the Thunder to blitz us . Manage the game Gentry and let’s steal one on the road

Would love to see this lineup be the starting group but Moore in place of Clark.. let Diallo be the 1st player out with Mirotic coming in. Let Rondo run the bench unit surrounding him with 3 shooters like Mirotic, Clark, and Dante as well as staggering minutes with Miller and Jrue do to depth at the wing.

Holiday/Moore/Miller/Diallo/Davis

How much deadlier will this team be when they add another 40% 3-Pt shooter in Mirotic? (giddy)

I'm telling you guys Diallo having a good game tonight could change a lot on the trade market. This kid is an unknown to all teams outside of Diallo being a young kid with a ton of potential. Now teams getting to see short glimpses of him flying down the court, rebounding, scoring around the rim, and showing a ton of energy all the sudden turns into a very attractive trade piece. Bigs like him are rare and most of Diallo problems you see like breakdowns on D are fixable. The things he does have are not teachable while his flaws are. Someone like Fournier or Hood could potentially be had with Diallo centered around the deal. He is as valuable as any 1st round pick and possibly more.

If this is the case, we really should keep Diallo, play him a good bit of minutes to get some experience, and then we have a cheap backup big next year that can give us some quality minutes.

[Pelicanidae]

The thunder aren't even trying to make baskets, they're just fishing for fouls.

felton lol

[jprdbulldog20]

AD 2 points from franchise leader in scoring

[billfromfinance]

great spin away from the contact there by clark

[Topdawg26]

I like to imagine that Dell had Terrance Jones agent on the phone and then Diallo kicks down the door, looks Dell in the eye and said, "Hang that ******** up. I got this!"

Then walked out

[UNO Gracias]

D Damn Diallo

[jprdbulldog20]

AD does it

[Pelicanidae]

AD is now the Pels all time leading scorer.

[jprdbulldog20]

if we do lose this game, it's because of steven adams

[PelicanNation]

Bruuuuh Adams is annoying af someone box out

If this is the case, we really should keep Diallo, play him a good bit of minutes to get some experience, and then we have a cheap backup big next year that can give us some quality minutes.

I wouldn't mind this option either.. but if it brought the right player I would pull the trigger. I just don't trust us to play Diallo minutes. As long as Dante is here he will get first run after Mirotic which sucks. Ideally we play Diallo as our 3rd big and build his value even more and move him in the offseason with some insurance for Boogie as well. But is Diallo as our 4th big next season more valuable then a starting wing player like Fournier or Hood?

[Pelicanidae]

Steven Adams with a 9 second violation that goes uncalled hana

[Alg_Hornet]

Good time out Gentry . We need to score on this possession

[jprdbulldog20]

i want to see a jrue/AD pick and roll every possession remaining

[jprdbulldog20]

The #Pelicans have a new franchise leading scorer.

Would be so nice seeing Mirotic in place of Dante in the closing group. This is going to be a massive upgrade.
