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

    End of the first half, two badly timed turnovers let them get the lead back up to 17. Elfrid's wasn't too bad, and it was understandable, but Moore's was just a result of lazy handling: threw it away.

    t's still not impossible, but we'll need the first five minutes of the next quarter to be a real attitude adjustment in terms of defense.
    Basketball.

    Turns out if you play defense, you can win.
    Turns out if Frazier & Hill aren't on the court, chances expand exponentially !

    Man, this is hard to watch. Something has got to change, no excuse for the lack of defensive effort.

    The hell with it, they don't care, neither do I, I am gonna go watch Roadhouse on IFC, at least Dalton is trying to clean up a mess.
    It's that the Hornets unashamedly quit so quickly in Game 4 after fans in New Orleans showed up this season with greater regularity than the team could have ever dreamed, shaming misinformed know-it-alls like me who kept telling you that local residents couldn't possibly invest their time and money into something as trivial as rooting for the local basketball team while still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. - Mark Stien ESPN

    Seriously, India batters have been like a brick wall this entire tour. By the time Oz bats, everyone is just too tired. I wish the Pels had some sort of strategy. And nobody on this board knows what we are talking about.

    AD the only player who seems to be playing with some conviction. He has 23/16

    Dang. Second game in a row my FoxSportsGo app won't let me see the game. Wonder what changed.

    Hello reddit.

    We would need a pretty much perfect quarter to win. Something like a 39-18 quarter. It's not impossible but you've got to think about how pathetic you must be playing to NEED that kind of thing to win.

    Or do we have a troll nutritionist that schedules Mexican buffets for lunch on road trips.

    ADs jumper has been beyond wet tonight. Every shot looks super smooth and confident. He's up to 28/19 on 10 of 18 with 3 blocks and 3 assists. Only one turnover. And we're down 13.

    Payton has 21/6 in 24 minutes of action, no fouls, shooting 8 of 13, team leading +7 plus minus. We're down 13.

    The real, key difference? Bench points. We have 5. Brooklyn has 50.

    They have a Poncho’s in NY? That place was the bomb in Metry back in the day.

    Also, yes the defense is putrid. The defensive scheme seems to be ''give it a go''. That works if when you have a team full of elite defenders who know the right way to play. That doesn't work when you're playing Tim Frazier, Darius Miller, Solomon Hill, Ian Clark, and Frank Jackson.

    Good Ol Joel loves when we stop the clock and score.

    And that's the 30/20 game from AD.

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

    WINNABLE. DO IT.
