Jax with his 4th block. He's got 7 in his last two games.
Jax is quietly becoming untouchable
He's been so good since he got those DNPs earlier in the year. For the last month or so he's been brilliant. So much growth from him in such little time, it's great to see.
Compare him to his first game with us last year and the difference is shocking. He's actively good on defense now rather than just potential, and he provides so much vertical spacing and variety in finishing options
Better passer than some think as well
Zion and Jax is the core
BI can go
Scary Terry might be a top 25 guy in this league
5 blocks for Jax
Rozier and Ball got 60 points....
Is that what SVG drew up?
Now Jax decides to be a complete beast and win us this game
Sixth block for Jax, new career high
Hayes you son of a ********** :hihi:
OH
Finally resign ourselves to the tank, bench Zion and Ingram, Lonzo plays like garbage, we're ready to keep the tank on the road
And Bledsoe has potentially his best game of the season and Jax turns into Alonzo Mourning for us to win.
Just be good or don't, God's sake
short handed team played hard second straight game....now i wish we would have won against the 76ers...
We're going to make the play ins and just get annihilated and immediately lose out, and get the worst of both worlds. No playoff appearance, but just good enough to wreck the draft pick.
This is not how you Tank
#PelsLife
You can't lose every game. Hit the tank way too late to really climb up meaningful picks. 8th still in reach tho.
For **** sake Chicago is winning big. Please Kings dont be morons later.
On the other hand, Jax continues excellent growth and NAW proves once again he's the best guard on the team by a mile.
The eastern conference is trash.
We're about to win every single game going forward.
I didn't want him (still would have preferred Billy Donovan, Kenny Atkinson or Stephen Silas), but nobody can convince me that SVG can't coach. Down three starters and 60 + points from the starting lineup, this team has responded in two consecutive games and played their tails off. This just doesn't happen by chance, as some might think. Very little preseason to work with, no extended time off between games to implement sets...if you can't see improvement in this team (especially defensively) you're working on another agenda.
Also, the ball movement we've seen in the last two games just doesn't happen during "Point Zion". Please, next year, let's let the premier finisher in basketball do just that. Let's let others orchestrate the action.
We are going to win our next two and which will motivate Griff to let Bi and Z come back and somehow make it in the play in
At which point we'll get smashed to pieces against some team, not get any playoff games, but will hit the lottery to get like, the 11th pick or something.
Don't get me wrong, I think there will be players worth drafting at 11, but 11th is going to be galling when we could have had legit odds at top 4 and we throw them away for the sake one one extra not-even-playoff game.
it could be my eyes but the defense look better and players switching better than they have the whole first half of the season....the damn b team that had the 10-15 bench role players are a joy to watch in these 2 games lol....
Keep in mind when we beat Dallas & Memphis earlier this season they had no Luka or Morant.
You don’t think JJ had this circled on his calendar?
Well that's exactly my point, neither him nor Zion should.
But I can imagine a highly annoying situation in which we win against Memphis and Ingram's ''doubtful'' status returns to active play because Griff senses the play in and he would rather have the play in than a top 4 pick.
But Pelicans fans will lie to themselves to say this will carry over next season or matter. It wont bro. Ive seen this with this franchise soooooooooo many times. Happy for Hayes man, but man CAN WE PLEASE SAVE OURSELVES FROM MEDIOCRITY?!? We keep winning and Pelican fans will be in for a rude awakening this off season when our biggest acquisition will be Larry Nance Jr and resigning Lonzo smh sigh.
You don’t think JJ Reddick is thinking he could put us out of our playoff misery this week?
If the pelicans dont win this game i will go streaking. Im that confident we are about to #Pelslife the rest of this frustrating season. Like at this point im praying next Sunday gets here sooner. I cant take this season anymore. Its too damn stressful and i feel like im in a emotional abusive relationship as a fan at this point. Hayes was looking like Hakeem in the paint tonight against a team who was desperate to win this game bruh. Like WHY does this keep happening?!? Ughhh
Eric Bledsoe and Steven Adams will carry the tank through. Please Stan play plenty of them this week! For the tank.
I don’t care how we finish at this point. I’m just enjoying the improved play of our 1st and 2nd year players.
Im telling you man for all the fans that keep saying "these wins are great for morale or development, tanking sucks, winners win etc." this off season is about to be VERY humbling and if we dont hit, and be a sure fire playoff team next year, Zion is signing that QO and will make this franchise even more stressful with him becoming a unrestrictied FA in year 5. Some people dont pay attention to the long game, and its small decsions like winning this game today that can LEGIT cause pretty bad chain reactions.
I have yet seen a realistic route outside of increasing our lotto odds that can make this team become a playoff lock next year. The only routes with this team being a 11 lotto team is all pretty difficult to drive, I feel like only a few fans are considering this and its honestly pissing me off because this off season its sooooooooooo crucial to the future of this franchise and folks dont want to acknowledge it.
