Draft Tyrese Maxey Draft Tyrese Maxey Draft Tyrese Maxey

Moore, Hart, Redick, and Frank are all on court together with Kenrich as the only guy over 6'5.
Oh boy.
Well, the first quarter went okay! :)
:)
Trash rotation by Gentry. And now trailing by 11
Jesus Christ lol
Please fire this stupid coach
We are 14 minutes into this game and we have already played 11 guys.
Come on man.
It's getting in their head. They are thinking about what they're doing too much.
I travel 8 hours for this train wreck.
Call time out. Doesn't change the line up. Wow
Just run a pick and roll Jesus Christ
Edit: literally seconds after I write this, we run a pick and roll and score.
Gentry would of been a nice assistant coach instead...this head coaching thing is not for him...
It's just like... when something isn't working, how many times do you have to see it's not working before you consider making an adjustment?
You'd think that they'd keep someone guarding Siakam after he's scorched everyone already.
this team is quitting already.
Why has Hayes not come in?
Why is Meli still sitting?
Gentry has ZERO game perception. He keeps making the wrong decision.
And holy crap can you show up for ONE GAME JRUE!?!?!?
Jimmy Buffet with a surprisingly accurate diagnosis of the Pels.

"You could always use more point guard penetration"
My man, we're at the point where even Jimmy Buffet knows what's wrong.
Just getting physically out matched. Toronto adjusted and been playing with 3 bigs.
Gentry will only use one.
Jrue's not the problem tonight :hihi:
He's our second leading scorer, shooting reasonably well from the floor, no fouls, only one turnover, leads the team in assists, leads the team in steals, tied for second on the team in rebounds with Ingram, and has played mostly okay-ish defense.
We're losing because Gentry has spent minutes on end running terrible lineups, the bench has been completely unable to score (4 of 20 from the bench so far), and the entire team is over-rotating on defense.
the only thing that keeps me sane watching this team is knowing we will be getting a high pick next draft.
This is embarrassing.
Siakam in contention for MVP this season. Raps haven't lost that much
Pelicans surrender their third 70-point first half of the season.

It's November 8th.
This defense is helpless. Siakam has 26.
This defense is unforgivable.
Favors and Jrue returning to form? Pity the defense hasn't fixed itself.
On the plus side, Jrue has just driven and finished at the rim for the 3rd time this quarter so if he can just spend the rest of this game getting himself back to his best I'll take it.
Well... Since Toronto can't use 3 bigs on Gentry dumbass.
*Cue Pelicans mini-comeback before choking away small lead in the 4th*
Jrue just deciding that he's tired of this and starting to take over, just as the half ends.
If he comes out with fire under him in the third, we might be able to get this to 10 or so heading into the fourth.
This team has no offence or defense.
They are worse than last season when AD was sitting out.
The only reason they score on anything is off fast breaks.
This offense is not sustainable long term.
My men's basketball run more offense in the half court then this team does.
Pathetic.
Oh yeah for sure. I've been saying for the past several games that people just need to have a little patience with Jrue. Is it frustrating that he takes a handful of games to ''get back into it'' every year? Yes, it is. But it's also not a surprise at this point, and people getting themselves into a hissy fit because he's had a rough October is frankly just silly.
This Pelicans vs Raptors game is an embarrassment to the USA.
Cannot give up 45 points in a quarter. Toronto was on fire but we are still not communicating on defense. They literally teach this in high school. Our players are tripping.
Ball is pathetic
Part of Holiday's problem is Ball. Holiday is a two who's forced to play the one because Ball is a one who thinks he's a two.
There were three possessions in a row where Toronto has 3 wide open 3 point shooters. We need to stop crashing into the paint with the ballhandler and stop overhelping. At the end of the half we did a slightly better job, but we’ve dug our selves a huge deficit. Same old same ol
Hope Cleveland falls outside of the top then, then package their pick and our pick this year together to move up in the draft and take Tyrese Maxey. Then, next year, we trade everything we can to try and secure a top 3 pick and draft Cade Cunningham in 2021.
Will it cost us all the Lakers assets? Yes. Will it be worth it? Also yes, probably.
It can't just be Jrue moving and Redick moving off ball. Way too much standing around.
WAIT, HOLD THE PHONE
WE PLAYED A COMPETENT DEFENSIVE POSSESSION.
I’ll never be able to hold my head up high next time I am visiting Canada, not after this beating.
Lonzo doesn't have a first step.
Something I find so weird about Ball...is he doesn't seem to be a plus ball handler. He just looks awkward when he isn't passing it. Like the way he finishes near the basket.
Lol at people going under the screen on VanVleet.
That makes no sense.
