How John Reid can even think that makes me :rolleyes:

Understood but you have to consider the source.
BTW it is nice listening to Joel Meyers again. Nothing against Sean Kelly but Joel has a "silver tongue" and the words just roll out of his mouth.

Who woulda thunk that Jimmer would be leading scorer?

From a guy that's watched Young for 4 years at UF, that's laughable. He CAN guard small forwards at times, he's just that versatile defensively. However, his game is obviously best suited as a PF/C combo.

Young is extremely versatile defensively, though.

When Omer gets acclimated and conditioned he will be HUGE on this team. Not even Tyson was as effective on D, RB and PnR.

Jimmer can play. Surrounding circumstances, such as coaches and teammates, have hurt his career tremendously up until this point.

He is literally the best shooter in the world, IMO.

Well, if you are what you can guard, then he is a SF.

I don't think Reid even intends to believe that you want Patric Young being used offensively like a 3.

Hearing Jrue Holiday play really nice defense. Got steal, block, then forced a Wall turnover.

How bout dat? Monty said pre-game. "Too bad he's had to handle the ball so much due to Tyreke's injury".

Does it seem pretty set for Rivers and Jimmer guard combo off bench? If Jimmer keeps playing like this I think so.

As long as it means I never have to watch Salmons, I'm all for it.

Agreed. But have a feeling he will improve and Monty will play him more than deserved. He did arrive late in camp and can't possible be in playing shape like the other players who have been in NOLA for a month or two

I have a feeling you will be disappointed sadly. You know how Monty feels about Vets.

Babbitt actually hit a 3!

Of the players on this team, the only two that I don't want to see on the floor are Salmons and Babbitt. I just hate watching them play, regardless of their actual skill and talent.

Well I'm liking Babbit a lot more than Salmons so far...

This game must be like the 3rd preseason NFL game where the coaches actually want to compete.

I had the same thought

So far Pelicans' rotation/minutes distribution have been much more like a regular season game. Only guys 10 have played. NOLA 60-56 in 3rd

Weird. I'm pulling hard for Babbitt. If he can even guard opposing 3s at a -1 rate what he brings in offense and even rebounding would make up for it.

I hate his goofy movements, pumpfakes, hair, and stupid face. He also plays scared on offense a lot, which doesn't help my view of him.

But he should listen to this:
I almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It was gettin' kinda long
I could-a said, it was in my way
But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
And I feel like I owe it to someone

Sigh.. A.D is worrying me, he never gets to the line anymore, and he took 9 jumpers today, won't be surprised if i see a decline in production if this keeps up.

I have a lot of concerns about the Pelicans but AD is not one of them

in an 8 game preseason... you can take time to work on things you want to improve on in a real game situation

he'll be back to his dominating self once the regular season starts

Is Rivers really this bad at shooting? I think he's better than given credit for, but his shooting seems woeful.

Clutch plays by Rivers and Porter
