Pelicans vs. Suns Game Thread

[Mythrol]

Aminu has gotten 12 minutes too many tonight.

Every team has had a lot of injuries and have made due. That's a poor excuse. This team has injuries every season. But the truth is this roster isn't that great outside of 4-5 players.

Thank you.

[Pelicans78]

Thank you.

I get the Anderson and Holiday injuries hurt, but Jason Smith is an average player at best.

[DefensiveMind]

Thanks I really needed clarification on that....no joke and I asked does he control who gets playing time

Doesn't matter. Dell makes player personnel decisions he made the decision that our top heavy roster was the way to go at expense of viable depth. If he's relying on his teams to be healthy all the time he has to be held accountable when his coach has to decide between Brian Roberts or Austin Rivers, Darius Miller or Luke Babbitt or AFA. That's 40 percent of your team that should never play more than 10 minutes. That's on him.

Yea u did say that to a post that had nothing to do with that. He wasn't implying that so why ask that?

Every one of your posts has nothing to do with whatever you quote so you can stop whenever.

The roster has too much dead weight that gets relied upon far too much. That much is very true. Even if we had a fully healthy team. Stiemsma, Aminu, Roberts, Rivers, and Jason Smith would be counted on to log heavy minutes.

Oh really? Every team has had all 6 of their top 6 players miss games, 3out for the rest of the season, and their top player is playing through a fractured finger and sprained shoulder?

If I'm a guard I'm going at Dragic every rip. I'm wearing that bum ankle out. Make him react until he's ready to sit down. LOL. I remember Ty Lawson beat LSU one year on a bum ankle.

Yea...u make no sense. Boozing much today?

[Tin_Food]

Give ME a break. Can't come to the party late, and change the rules to the game. Rivers had Dragic on his heels better than anyone else has this whole game.

Suddenly he gets overcome on a number of consecutive trips and then he's overrated.

Dragic clearly is not some scrub to take shame in being beaten by.

I would also add that point in saying that the help D is atrocious as well, the team as a whole had horrible D for a 4 minute stretch.

AD is unbelievable.

Every team loses a 20ppg scorer and their starting PG for more than half the season?

[DefensiveMind]

Also, I think we all know we need better 7-10 guys.

Correction we need 7-10 better guys. Not better 7 thru 10 guys.

This team wasn't that good fully healthy. And the Spurs have had a bunch of injuries, the Thunder lost Westbrook for most of the season, the Grizzlies survived a bunch of injuries, as well as the Warriors too.

[Mythrol]

These refs are starting to give it away. The Evans charge call, the ticky tacky fouls.

[RaisingTheBar]

Yea...u make no sense. Boozing much today?

No but I should be. That is the only way I will ever understand anything you try to say.

[WHODAT_123]

Refs aren't giving us anything and are giving the suns everything

[RaisingTheBar]

We were an above 500 team fully healthy. That is not that good?

Most of the Western playoff contenders have had major injuries for most of the season.

[Eman5805]

These announcers know their stuff.

"How about give Davis a touch?"

[Pelicans78]

We were an above 500 team fully healthy. That is not that good?

And still not good enough to make the playoffs especially if other teams were fully healthy. No team is fully healthy during the whole season.

[kclaboy504]

Yea ok dude. It'll be okay the sky ain't falling.

[Mythrol]

What? None of those teams have been anywhere near as injured as us. The only team that has had as bad of injuries as us are the Lakers.

[WHODAT_123]

The suns are just making the most ridiculous shots..I hate them all
