January 2nd - New Orleans Pelicans @ Brooklyn Nets - 17-21

[Pelicanidae]

AD is single handedly making this happen. Forcing all the fouls, going for every rebound, trying to contest every shot. He has 30/22

[DaFranchise80]

No threes for AD during crunch time. Wake up Alvin!!!!

[AstroFire]

We were getting so close

[billfromfinance]

Suddenly we're only down 8 with basically 6 minutes left.

WINNABLE. DO IT.

I feel like winning this game would just mask all the real problems. I want wins, but I'd much prefer an enjoyable product on the floor. Whether a loss forces anything though is another issue.

[AstroFire]

Frick Erman’s defense

i feel bad for AD

Good pseudo pyrrhic victory.

i feel bad for AD

Meh. It's not like he's taking over. We're close A LOT at the end of games and he starts bricking threes to stop our run. I think he's the best player in the game and he gets his stats but he doesn't will the team to victory.

[DaFranchise80]

Niko needs to hurry up and come back. The rest of our “shooters” are too inconsistent.

We've had enough losses to know that losing doesn't make anything change right now. I'll take some wins to make the team feel like there's some progress, and hope the momentum fills them with confidence to play.

i mean 32/24/3/3/1 with only 1 turnover in 39 min on 50% shooting...so far...is a statline that should NEVER result in a loss

This reminds me of Kevin Garnett. Had No help in Minny , goes to Boston and wins champ.

Yeah, screw AD, it's not like he's the sole reason we're even in this game at this point. He's not forcing anything, except the other team's misses and giving us all the second chances with his rebounds, and getting to the line regularly. Damn him for shooting one three this quarter despite being 66% from deep before that.

Niko is streaky too.

[Pelicanidae]

We have 38 rebounds as a team. AD has 24 of them.

[Tinman]

She talking about Alvin Gentry right?

Lauren Holiday just gave us our chance to ship Jrue for Beal.

[Taker597]

Even if we win... I'm tired of these comeback game. Apathy has set in... Just be nice to be consistent and win games.

[Pelicanidae]

Lauren Holiday just gave us our chance to ship Jrue for Beal.

That would be an atrocious trade.

[Pelicanidae]

Lol we're gonna lose a game where every starter had at least 15 points and AD had a 34/25 night.

[DaFranchise80]

Who in the heck is number 12 on Brooklyn?

[AstroFire]

Get Solo in and do flop trick again on Ed Davis

[Tinman]

That would be an atrocious trade.

When the spouse (who is supposedly an elite athlete & understands Pro sports) starts flapping her gums by demeaning the coaches- well, the camel has stuck the nose under the tent.

[DaFranchise80]

Gentry hates all of us. He drew up a three for AD. Good night folks, onto Cleveland.

[Pelicanidae]

Wow.

Lauren: ''I don't understand the gameplan!''

You: THE SPOUSE IS DEMEANING THE COACHES, TRADES INCOMING!!!

No wonder ESPN are able to spin such big storms out of nothing so consistently. You do half the work for them.
