November 25th - New Orleans Pelicans @ Utah Jazz - 9-7

I don’t get why players can’t keep their hands up.

Joel bored af

Willie is doing well tonight keeping the lineups even.

I don’t know what’s worse, post passing, post defense, or post officiating

Hawkins should hit 40 tonight

As a group, they have no legs tonight. Airballs and short free throws are a dead give away.

On the positive side, they are getting their hands on a lot of balls defensively.

Cant like what i see. They are turning it over(Dyson 6 steals at the half), they can't buy a 3 and we are only up by 10. If they get hot this can get out of hands really quickly.
Herb back-to-back with foul trouble, has to be better than that.
I have bad feeling about these games...

Please feed Hawkins he got the hot hand and they can't keep up with him when he puts the ball on the ground. Keep him hot and we win

Last player to get to 6 steals in a half before turning 21 was John Wall in 2010.

Any steal record from this game should have an asterisk

I'm simply love the way Zeller plays. What a smart player!!!

Brandon don’t get yourself hurt in this trash game

UUUMMMMM.... Cody Zeller is +18 in 10 minutes played. That's nuts!!!

Do you think a 2010 Wizards game deserved any better?

BI getting his points this game

BI takes and makes his first 3PA of the game

Well that sucked

Are we going to f around and lose this game?

This team frustrates me so much at times.

When I look at Larry if I squint hard enough I see Garrett temple.

Larry ain't done shii this season. A couple seasons ago, to me, this guy was untouchable in trade talks.

IDK anymore.

Ainge has got to be thinking, how many guys do I have to sit to lose this game?

The Larry minutes are awful.

Hate to say it, but right now LNJ is useless. He's killing us right now.

What the fork is wrong with this team?

Zion or not, this team is missing something. Can't quite put my fingers on it.

I feel like this team is is still missing 1-2 players from a championship team.

Those two players might just be CJ and Trey, lol.

Pels just giving it away right now. Look tired.

Yeah its called 3 40% 3PT shooters all off with injury :hihi:

"what the fork is wrong with this team"? Well to start, we're on a west coast BTB without 3 of our stars. Still playing grind-it-out basketball and very much in it. But yeah there's something wrong with us.

Matt Ryan, CJ, Trey?

What the hell was that?

We might actually lose this game.

I really really really want to see J Hawkins + Trey Murphy on the floor together.

Got to get Dyson back in there, I don’t care how crummy his offense is

Yep.

Matt Ryan is shooting 47% from 3 on 5 3PAs a game so far this season. Serious loss for him to go out.

In fact, in their last seasons played (so this year for CJ and Ryan, last year for Trey):

Trey- 40.6% on 6.3 attempts per game
CJ - 38.0% on 8.3 attempts per game
Ryan - 47.1% on 5.2 attempts per game

All just sat out on the bench, no clue when any of them will be back.

Just missing too much firepower to overcome the back-to-back woes. Team's clearly tired and not altogether with it, and there's not enough offensive talent to make up for it, especially not with JV having a rough night.

It's ugly.

Yep we f’d around too much

Will also add that while those are reasons, they're not good enough excuses. Execution has also been poor, there's been far too much dribbling and not enough passing in the 2nd half, no attempts were really made to counter the changes Utah made out of the half-time break particularly with their treatment of Hawkins, and we've been thoroughly out-rebounded. Just not good enough play overall.

I know all the excuses. But against this team, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BY ANY MEASURE,

This reminds me of our trip to Utah last year

Utah has been owning us since last year

Longer than that. Anyone remember that Gobert block on BI?

Welp. We fell asleep on defense for a good 5 minutes on defense. That would be fine if people were hitting shots and keeping it going offensively but we didn?t. Has to be one of the other. You can?t have these silly swings on the road. Bad loss. Onto the next one. They were gassed.

Whelp

That travelling call was the refs saying ''no, we aren't watching anymore of this garbage, we will not allow OT''

Too much dribbling by Jose in his minutes. Jose' playing ISO - Ball should not be in the playbook.

-AND-

LNJ should be a DNP - Coaches Decision until further notice.

Yeah, inexcusable loss. Awful execution. Guys were tired but they were tired in the first 3 quarters too and kept a lead, no need for them to suddenly stop bothering in the 4th.
