April 4th - New Orleans Pelicans vs Sacramento Kings - 40-38

What the hell was that?! This game has me livid. A garbage performance if I ever seen one. Just zero effort

Pretty insane that you go on a mini run to bring it back to a reasonable deficit and then they just blow the doors off you in the remaining few minutes and there's no resistance at all.

After that dyson-fuelled run, the Kings called a time out. After that timeout, they shot 6/7 from the floor to close the half.

Come on man! All y’all need is one damn win!!!!!

Dude you and I could have shot 6/7 with the defense. And then BI charges down the court and forces up on three damn people.

Sure the defense was porous but that's not the point.

When they go into a timeout, they come out re-focused and execute.

When we go into a timeout, as often as not we come out and immediately turn it over.

Just completely different levels of intensity right now. They're a lock for a top 4 seed but we're the ones playing like we have nothing to prove.

I need to see some heart out of these Charmin boys.

Oh I get the point. I’m just so used to Willie being awful that I stopped blaming him. He doesn’t know how to call a timeout and make an adjustment. What he will do is sub the wrong players out though.

To be honest, with a coach this bad, we should be thankful we are relevant. If this team had a good coach, they would easily be in the same position as the Kings.

Down 10 and the fangs are out in full force, like clockwork.

They should be. The Pels aren’t playing with energy in a huge game. Sometimes you don’t have to just be positive for the hell of it. They deserve to be scolded. This is a big game. Now I see why they were selling playin tickets last week. They really just want to win one game.

If I was coaching, I'd walk into the locker room at halftime and say only three words:

"MOVE THE BALL"!!!

so far the kings are playing like a team that want to win 50 games.....now lets see how hungry we are in this second half....

Nah, I think that's massively unfair.

I don't think Willie is the perfect coach, sure, but I also don't think he's disastrous enough to be one of the very few coaches who actively harm a team. We'd have the same number of wins as the Kings (or more) if we didn't miss 45+ games of Zion, 36 games of Ingram, etc etc.

If Zion and Ingram both played 65+ games this year, we'd have 50 wins. It's that simple, Green has nothing to do with that.

Oh this tank job tonight is fareal.

But he lost 10 games in a row. That’s the part that lost me. It also took him 80% of the season to use the rest of his players on offense, besides CJ or BI

Tr3y

It's the stupid turnovers that get me. We usually have about 4 turnovers a game that are completely unforced, and we almost always give up points off them. Might as well walk into every game with the score set at 12-0 for the opponents.

And for the record, I don't blame Green for the turnovers either.

That's fair. What's not is eviscerating the coach, as you routinely do anytime we fall behind by more than 5 points. Before the game is, you know, even close to being over.

And believe me, nobody would ever accuse you of being positive "for the hell of it."

Outplayed in every facet.

Tr3y again

Set him up

Don't even try using perspective and common sense with this guy. Useless.

Bro just forget about my comments and move on. All you do is think about me. I could care less about you or your opinion.

Get to the line!

CJ is just stinking the house out right now.

''It's CJ time'' - CJ

CJ is always good for one boneheaded ISO-CJ at a crucial time.

Trey is wide open in the corner, nobody around him for 15 feet, CJ opts for taking the fadeaway off-balance contested 12 footer instead of making a basic skip pass

Misses, obviously.

Murray can’t miss.

Bro, you've needed someone to call you out on your ridiculousness for some time now. Don't care, don't respond.

They just won’t guard the guy and he’s destroying them.

Keegan 'Frick'n' Murray is 7 of 9 from 3.

willie not making adjustments on him....you cant keep rotating off him smh.....

Just not happening. Came out in a 3rd quarter down 11, needed to win the quarter, and we just let them maintain.

BI is getting 2 or 3 guys coming at him....coaching.....

Whole team should feel bad right now.

i think kings a bad matchup without zion...

The Kings are a good team this year and losing to them isn't something to be distressed by, even with Zion, honestly.

But losing this way is pathetic.

What a surprise that the biggest jerk on the board is a jerk to other posters. Shocker.

Outplayed since the tip, and it's been painful to watch. But I was also in the arena when we schooled this same team by 30 earlier in the season. And they lost to the Spurs at home last night. I'm sure they had fans screaming how pathetic they were on each of those occasions too.

Rebound tomorrow, hopefully with Zion.

yeah...seeing BI get all of the attention because the kings are not respecting the rest of our players on the court with him is just bad...

Bro we just aren’t cut from the same cloth. It’s ok. You are the type of person to always be happy with a second place trophy. To me winning is the only available outcome. I don’t believe in moral victories and never have. You are either a winner or loser. I don’t praise things that don’t deserve it and definitely not the Pels when they don’t show up for no damn reason.

Getting whooped at home by 19 in the 4th. Disgusted for the fans who paid to watch this

They thought they were getting a playoff atmosphere lmao

CJ has had the most tumultuous season ever this year. He's had stretches of good solid play and then just weeks of being garbage and you never have any way of knowing which version you're gonna get in a given night.

No, that's total nonsense no matter how often you say it. I'm the type of person who realizes it's a long season, losses and bad games actually DO happen (especially when your 2 all-stars have been out for much of the year), and I'm willing to put up with that temporary pain as long as we're heading in the right direction, which I believe we are.

You're the type of fan that wants to burn everything down and curse everyone involved with the organization - and make everyone around you feel miserable - the minute the team encounters an ounce of adversity. And then suddenly pretend all that didn't happen when we start winning, because it's convenient.

Bro you literally can’t feel anything from reading a message board. Nothing you say affects me emotionally. You are a Fanny pack wearer.

Willie, come on Bruh, we've seen enough of CJ. Put in DD...Kira...Seabron....anybody!!! Just sit CJ!!!
