Yep. If this game had been called properly, we'd still be up double digits.

I hate it when Nick is on the floor and somebody else is running the point. It’s fine to draw up a couple of plays for Jrue, but let the guy run this team already. It went ugly when they took the ball out of his hands

End of the first half.

Jax: 6pts, 6rbds, 1stl, 2blks, 0 fouls
NAW: 11pts, 4rbds, 1ast, 1stl, 3-7 from 3
Redick: 17pts, 3asts, 5-8 from 3
Jrue: 6pts, 6asts, 3rbds
Melli: 7pts, 3rbds, 2asts, 2-4 from 3

Some kind of way Alvin is doing a terrible job. Why is this team just chucking shots? The one time the Pels have the chance to punish this team, they look like they don’t want to play. Steve Kerr has never not destroyed the Pelicans when they are down. Yes, I know Pels are down 20765341 players, but I hate Draymond Green! Lol

Those Jax numbers are Giannis rookie numbers... My outlook is high on Hayes. He makes it hard for you to sit on the bench. Just the development is sooo needed

We're winning. If it wasn't for bogus calls that have awarded GS literally 10 FTAs they don't deserve, we'd be winning by 15 or more.

Alvin hasn't been perfect, but to start piling on him for this game in particular seems weird so far.

We are shooting 3s well. So, Gentry gonna gas it out 3 games too long.

I really just want to destroy the Warriors and my season is complete. I can’t stand them or the Rockets. Beating them is good enough for me.

Hayes was my No. 1 centre prospect (I count Brandon Clarke as a PF, and Goga was second, just for context) this year for so many reasons. His fluidity, awesome hands, incredible touch at the rim, high FT%, all that. His defensive potential is what really sold me though. I'm absolutely certain that if he develops on a reasonable path, he can be a multiple time All-Defense kind of guy who can switch onto nearly anyone.

The only real question was how long it was going to take for him to reach that point. Well, it's still a way off, but he's taken quick strides as a defender. I don't think Giannis is his future (not that you implied it was) but I have confidence that he can be an 20/9/2blks guy who makes an all-defense team. And that's super valuable.

I wish they could find a way to draw more fouls. It seems like it’s been years since they got to the line consistently. It really takes the other teams momentum away when a team goes to the line.

Give Vinson time to develop his mid range. Dangerous!

When BI and Zion are on this team they will be in the bonus more times than not.

Jrue is so much better when he attacks

Damn it. Got distracted. Who has been most impressive for us today?

Hayes and NAW

I say Hayes if I had to pick one though. His defense has been very good, whether on the perimeter, in switches, rim protection. Good rebounding too.

Pretty sure JJ hasn't missed all day

JJ doing his best Zion impression

The basket didn't drop but that pass from NAW had some fire on it lol

Remember when Draymond Green thought he was an actual All-Star?

He doesn't even look better than Kenrich Williams right now.

We are 6 and a half minutes through this quarter and the score is
13-4, Pels

Great halftime adjustments. Gotta give Gentry them props, tonight.

Draymond is an all-star calibre talent.

He's just not your normal all-star. There's a difference between a floor raiser and a difference maker. Draymond doesn't raise floors, but on good teams he's that difference maker.

Melli just gotta grab dat

Great pass shortly after

NAW

I’d be embarrassed if we lost this one

He's the best role player in the league. That much is true. But I mean, the arrogance as if he stood shoulder to shoulder with guys like Paul George, Jimmy Butler, etc.

Almost an over and back there. Man that was so sweet by NAW. Unlucky

Welcome back, Melli.

Draymond is Tony Chachere's. Makes literally no sense on its own, but if added to the right things, it makes them perfect.

Somehow, despite how dicey that got, we have won every quarter so far.

That's all you need. Win every quarter by 1, you win the game lol

Kenny has been pretty damn bad tonight. Outside of Jrue and NAW playing ok for the mos taper everyone has stepped up

Jrue warming up a bit

We better not lose to this godforsaken squad of goonies.

Bowman looks like an evil villain that they picked up outside of a nightclub after a coke binge. Please don’t let them back in this

Good play.

Jax Jax Jax

Nicky

Jax needs 1 board and 1 point for a double double, the first of his professional career and his second all time

Nickeil the GOAT

Jrue had a rough first half offensively (was still good defensively and playmaking but could not score at all, had 8 points at the half) but he's currently up to 20/7/7, and has hit 3 of his last 5 and drawn 2 fouls. He's finishing this game out well.

I really want Hayes to get that double double

Well he has two fouls, gotta save him for later...?

...WHATS THE TECH FOR?!

Hire Gentry for denying the future. Lol

Jax has the double double!
