Spurs at Pelicans in the Blender 11/22/17

Nice!

What a change a qtr made.

So we started the game down 2-15, and now at half time we're up 50-42. Can we please stop the slow starts, it's kinda weird having this swing every game.

This team gives me headaches man

We could be blowing teams out, if not for the slow starts.

In other news, I want Josh Jackson. Someone help me concoct a plan to steal him.

I think I may have mentioned last game, that anybody making any comments about this team in the first quarter of games is just crying out to look silly by halftime. Remarkable phenomenon.

You did, and you were right both times. This team has the wonderful, awful, thrilling, and utterly distressing habit of starting off looking like we're about to lose by 40 and then pulling wins out of hats.

Who else thinks Jrue's shot needs a complete rebuild?

Its this horrible flat push shot, gets no lift from his legs and and hits back iron 98% of the time. Lots wrong with the mechanics

As a side note, the Sixers are killing Portland and Houston is turning Denver into paste, so there should be some advantageous seeding adjustments tonight when we win.

I think you just nicely summed up the nightly emotional journey of Pels fans. :p

True, but I believe in our guys.

You know what I appreciate? Tony Allen not taking threes anymore. He was taking a few earlier in the season and even though some were dropping I was dreading when they were going to stop. Glad he knew when enough was enough.

Rondo on Drake: "he's always real emotional" that's the real

We have been fortunate with other western teams sucking

Crazy series of plays there.

Going for the offensive rebound, never giving up on the play. It's a cliche but it works.

Those two fouls on AD and Jrue were lame

so everybody who in the 1st quarter predicted the Pels would be up 20 before the end of the 3rd, raise your hand

AD to Miller, we're up 22

Darius mfing miller baby!!

Geaux Pels!

I don't ever expect Darius Miller to miss anymore

We have to keep playing hard and not let off the gas. It’s time for us to learn how to close games out! Let’s go, Kentucky Pelicans. Hahah.

Miller has such a smooth shot. Only player since Peja every time he shoots you automatically assume its money.

MVP Miller

great rebound by Miller.

Two more points and AD passes CP3

Excellent third quarter

The lid finally came off of the basket

This is fun guys

There’s a teen I keep seeing in the audience that looks absolutely pissed. 30 POINT LEAD. Keep it up. Don’t let off the gas.

let me reask -- in the first quarter how many people here were predicting the Pels would be up 30 by the end of the 3rd?

Buckwheat is rolling over in his grave.

When you destroy the Spurs by 30, you know you're doing well. When this game is over, we'll be 10-8. They'll be 11-9. Being one game behind the Spurs is never a bad place to be.

Great 3rd! I wanted AD to hit 27. But I'll take him resting the 4th for the first time this season

OKC might have awoken. Up 22 on GSW

Are we going to see Asik tonight?

Play him three minutes, give him a dunk, then sit him.

How many people EVER predict their team being up by 30?

I have a few times but I was never right

Miller has hit as many threes as the entire Spurs team tonight.
