January 10th - New Orleans Pelicans @ Golden State Warriors - 22-15

[As I See It]

GSW shooting 52.4%, 45% from three and 87.5% from the line. Doesn't seem like we're playing very good defense. So how is it we're ahead by 13? Must be the offense.

Want to talk about the Warrior turnovers (No shots) and points off of TO's?

ingram has to get it together...

They have 11 we have 7 , negligible. SHOOTING SHOOTING SHOOTING

[hornetsrebirth]

The Pelicans rebounding on both sides of the floor has been a huge difference maker in this game

jonas saved the quarter .. you got to play the man willie...

[hornetsrebirth]

great pass by dyson off the pick and roll for a Jonas dunk. He's good at finding a pass.

Hawkins 4-4 from 3 point land, NASTY

[13 - 3]

We got defense now?

[13 - 3]

Willie better not apologize for this

I don't know. By the time the game is over, the Warriors will be close to league average in points, about 110.

7 guys in double figures... this is maybe the most complete team game they've played all year. Not a single player carrying much of the load, just everyone putting in work and clicking with chemistry.

Having TM3 and Hawkins on the floor together is mean!

[RobertM320]

So we hammer them from outside at breakneck speed in the first half to tire them, use Jonas to wear them down in the 3rd, and then bludgeon them with Zion in the 4th. Sounds like a plan.

I will take blowouts every night. Never let the clowns bring you to their level

[Pelicanidae]

Pels about to secure their 3rd 20 point victory in the last 5 games?

Establishing the 3 point game early is huge for our bigs.

You think?

Until this last cold spell they would have.

The problem Willie has with Hawkins is that yes, he is bad defensively, so when you play him you have to lean into the offense. Playing him as the sole shooter in a lineup with no other scorers - as Green was doing a lot prior to Christmas - is a terrible idea because he's not a creator who can provide offense for a whole lineup, and he'll stick out as the defensive weak link and get targeted.

Playing him with other scorers/shooters allows it to become a situation of overwhelming force, where the defense doesn't matter quite as much because even if they shoot 60% on you, you're just going to shoot 75% back.

[RobertM320]

I wonder how often NBA teams build 40 point leads in consecutive games ON THE ROAD?

[JJackisangry]

They surrendered. That is why you whoop they ******
