January 19th - New Orleans Pelicans @ Utah Jazz - 5-7

Also, NAW working in the PnR. Wonder if that's valuable in a guard.

All aboard the struggle bus fam

That is the third time this game Zion has made that exact same pass out to an open shooter and it's resulted in nothing. Twice to Lonzo, now to Hart.

Ugly airball there lmao

The AstroNAWt

Why did hart not take a wide open shot ...

Wish we could sit Ingram first then Zion while we have the matchups. Zion does not need to be on the floor against Gobert'. We need guard play Kira and NAW.

Redick hitting a three is big. He's been a little better over the last few games (certainly not great, but not quite as tragic) so if he can have a resurgence tonight that would help big

Zion with the neat wraparound to Jax

why tf do we sag off so much..

huge overhelp there from Zion but at the same time, no rotation elsewhere? Weird breakdown.

I'm getting fed up with Gobert getting away with fouling on Zion and not getting called. If I can see a handcheck at 240p. I know they can...

Zion has yet to take a FT.

Lonzo looks uninterested out there

As soon as BI recognizes Zion is the Alpha on offense his offense will soar.

Good two way playmaking from Ingram

Adams is a walking bucket.

We may hate on Ingram ISO. You need elite ISO player on a championship team.

Is defensive 3 seconds no longer a thing? Because teams just hitch a tent and set up camp in the lane especially when Zion is out there.

Jazz seem to have realised they can just do whatever to Zion and it won't get called.

Yea, Gobert has been low key fouling him every time.

It's like this every time we play Gobert Jazz.... Remember last year when Rudy foul Ingram game winner and Jazz ran off the court like no take backises lol

Let's check in at halftime to see what Lonzo's given us so far:

- 2 points
- 3 assists
- 1 steal
- 1/4 from the floor
- 0/2 from 3
- Disinterested defense

Nice, starter calibre.

I’ve been underwhelmed by Bledsoe. I always thought he was a much better player than this.

Pretty sure he doesn't want to be here. He has " I dont give a damn" defense, and "YOLO drive, throw up a prayer that misses and slide out of bounds under the basket" offense.

Happy to see Redick back to his usual self. The shot is back.

LSU basketball team losing bad. I’m watching Pelicans now

To be fair, he’s ok in transition. Probably has one of the best outlet passes in the NBA. His half court game is not NBA worthy though.

Adams with a rare terrible pass

Oh sure he definitely has things he's good at. He's a good connecting/secondary passer in general, and when he can be bothered he's a pretty solid defender too.

But the flaws outweigh the positives by a large margin.

Lonzo just ain't a shooter. They give him that open look defense.

Zion with another bucket

For real. Warps defenses absolutely zero %

Please take Lonzo off the floor.

lonzo is a bum

That's twice this game Zion's hit that little 8-10 foot turnaround hook

Ingram disabled the passing chip on his motherboard

This Utah team has some great passing

Lonzo is 0/4 from 3, 1/6 from the floor overall.

Was my prediction of him going 2/9 from 3 a bit generous?

It's a shame because he was starting to show some really excellent passing early this season. The last few games he's just looked like the entire concept of passing is offensive to him.

the Jazz are so many levels above us

Here comes the three parade. I think teams widen the basketball hoop when we come to town, knowing that we’ll still not be able to make it.

You won't be able to tell the difference

Utah’s ball movement is amazing.

Lonzo don't need to see the floor ever he gives us nothing. SVG needs to change his defensive philosophy... I rather go man and give up twos than all these 3s. This team can't stretch the floor for our bigs to save their lives.

NAW > Lonzo

I haven't liked Ingram's play for the past 3 or 4 games now... I also notice that Adams doesn't do a good job of catching and finishing in the paint.

I'm pretty sure that Kira is back on ice.

To be fair, if you’re BI who do you pass to? Lonzo, Bledsoe so they can brick it? A contested BI midrange is a better option than a wide open three from either of our guards.
