Melli is the only one that has had any luck. We have started every game poorly so far

This is depressing.
Maybe when the Pels made it impossible to watch this game, they were trying to do us a favour. -
10-13-2019, 03:43 PMJJackisangry
I wonder what they put in our water bottles before the game
-
10-13-2019, 03:48 PMJJackisangry
Lovely by Ingram there
-
10-13-2019, 03:53 PMJJackisangry
Considering the Spurs were in the bonus with 10 minutes left, this quarter is flying by
-

My stream has crashed so I'm not actually getting to see the game right now, but the box score tells me that things seem to be going a little better right now! Which is good!

Firstrow has a reliable stream @pleicanidea..
-
10-13-2019, 03:58 PMJJackisangry
I have to say that Ingram has had a very good little stretch here. His decision making for the most part was spot on. Nice movement off the ball as well
-
10-13-2019, 03:59 PMPelicanidaeThank you!Quote:

Spurs are playing some really smart basketball. I am slowly but surely getting concerned about how slow our D is progressing...

I really think the refs need to think about whether or not to award ballhandlers foul calls when they just dribble directly into a defender in legal position.
That's the second time in this pre-season that it's happened, and it's very annoying. If Zion had been setting an illegal screen, or had been reaching, or wasn't moving his feet, then fair enough, but he was just guarding. -

Offensive Board Man Zion
-
10-13-2019, 04:01 PMJJackisangryHe started the stint with his patented drive to the basket. It wasn’t on, so he dished it back to the 3 point line. Those are the easy decisions he needs to make. Much better.Quote:

That jumper looked smooth from Lonzo. Glad to see him take that when he got open. He's not usually afraid to shoot them, but you've gotta be automatic when you get that much room.
-
10-13-2019, 04:03 PMPelicanidaeGlad to hear it! Drive and kick is a standard tactic for a reason. Drive. If it's there, cool. If not, kick.Quote:

Only down 6 at this point despite what might be generously described as a ''poor'' start, so that's good.
-
10-13-2019, 04:06 PMJJackisangry
These fouls have killed us
-
10-13-2019, 04:06 PMGuardianAngel25
One of the biggest differences this year is we have multiple guys who can get to the line when last year we had AD and that’s it. Jrue finally has star respect and will get his calls, Ingram can get to the line at a very high level, and Zion might lead the league in FT attempts. That’s just a few and we have more.
If there is one shot Zion needs to master its FTs. He needs to be like MJ from the FT line not Lebron. He needs to model his game after MJ and Kawhi offensively on how they shoot and attack the basket. A little bit of both and of course his own flair. -
10-13-2019, 04:06 PMPelicanidae
We've fouled 4 times on threes tonight.
Unacceptable, frankly. -
10-13-2019, 04:12 PMJJackisangry
Considering how abysmal we have been, a 10 point lead is nothing. Like every game so far, I expect us to improve dramatically.
-
10-13-2019, 04:20 PMPelicanidaeHope you're right. Things were picking up in that second quarter, especially towards the end. Jrue was really heating up, and Melli hitting his third three is something I definitely appreciateQuote:

More good stuff by Ingram

10-13-2019, 04:35 PMGuardianAngel25
Jrue looks like Jrue, Lonzo playing solid but could be much better with 1 or 2 more shots going down, Ingram looking very solid after a poor start to the first 5 minutes of the game, Zion continuing to show he will be a problem, NAW has looked bad and Frank not playing great.

Ingram seems to be coming along. Good 3
-
10-13-2019, 04:40 PMPelicanidaeESPN says right now he's at 14 points, 6 boards, 2 steals, on 4 of 7 shooting, 6 of 8 from the FT lineQuote:

10-13-2019, 04:42 PMPelicanidae
Hooray, I just got stream connection back!
So far, of the first 31 minutes of play, I've managed to actually watch maybe 14 of them. Dreadful. -
10-13-2019, 04:43 PMakhan786
I hope Zion realizes that he can do that last bucket EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
-
10-13-2019, 04:45 PMPelicanidae
Zion is so damn good
-
10-13-2019, 04:45 PMPelicanidae
Zion is 1 board away from his first professional career double double. He has 18pts, 9rbds
-
10-13-2019, 04:45 PMJJackisangry
Jrue and Zion have been leaders as they should be. Melli, Ball and Ingram have impressed me today.
-
10-13-2019, 04:47 PMPelicanidae
Zion is up to 20 points for the third game in a row. He's on 70% shooting.
-
10-13-2019, 04:47 PMCreative
Another great game from Zion!
-
10-13-2019, 04:49 PMPelicanidae
Not a fan of Melli giving up post position to take the contested fallaway. Great pass from NAW tho
-
10-13-2019, 04:49 PMbahmamambadoes that even actually count since it's preseason?Quote:

NAW stepping up baby! Can’t wait to watch this kid continue to develop. No telling how good he will be.

Good defense with crisp rotations and big man help turns into offense with NAW landing the 3.
We're up 10! -
10-13-2019, 04:52 PMbahmamambaugh this is ridiculous lol are they playing scrubs or did our actual guys bring it back against their guys?Quote:

E'twaun, come on. That was open! For an elite shooter, that was a shot you take.
