Game Thread: Pelicans (3-2) vs. Cavaliers (2-3)

Why are we waiting so long to put the starters in?

Rode this lineup a minute too long ..

No one ever said this. Gordon has nothing to do with Reke's lack of basketball iq

Fan favorites can do no wrong. Fan nonfavorites can do no right round here

MOnty let it go too long... classic.

Can't let the bench ride that long. Seriously only going to put your starters back in with 5 minutes left? UGLY

Is AD in foul trouble or sumthin?

Love that we give salmons meaningful minutes. Love it! Missed assignments, missed shots and bad fouls. Love it!

Monty was about two or three possessions too late on that timeout. But at least we got good run with our backups there hopefully the starters can finish strong.

People also ride him for when he supposedly doesn't let a unit that is doing well play it out. Hard to tell if he is correct when he errs on that side, though.

I think he picked up two early fouls.

oh my god why is Salmons still in there?

Dang I thought this game was later.

Got a problem or something?

LBJ with the Superstar call there. Lol

Got to stop this run

Crap. Ryno didn't get a breather at all. Lol. He is our team tonight.

Is Tyreke dead or something? Why is Salmons in there.

FLAMETHROWER!

My reaction exactly, haha

Good play Gordon

Ryan is showing why he's the biggest steal in the league

Maybe he is being benched so he starts learning to make better decisions.

Right

When Clevelands on Defense they should play the "offense, offense" chants :D

Let's run a play for the flame thrower out of this time out

Wait, is Ryno MVP?

And unfortunately I don't see us being able to resign him because of that.

Tyreke. 4pt on 2/6 shooting with 3 assists and 2 rebounds.

Jrue and Gordon COMBINED 4pt on 2/10 shooting with 2 assists and 1 rebound.

Keep the Reke hate coming. He's clearly the worst problem. . .:eye roll:

Really fun game to watch, I think my favourite games are the ones where Ryno goes off :)

It must be Reke's fault Jrue missed that wide open 3. His iq so low.

Jrue and Reke are killing us . They need to stop playing selfish ball

Did y'all see lebrons hair after his headband got knocked down?

1/7 of that 2/10 is Jrue. The other guy doesn't get the ball

It was his low IQ that led to that awful shot clock violation. Passed it out with a second left on the clock.

Bad decision making doesn't show up on stat sheets. And jrue isn't blameless either.

I'm happy to see that Monty put Reke on the bench there , he needed to sit

MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!

All I'm saying is you people need to be even with your criticism. Reke is guarding LBJ AND playing better than our two other guards combined. Wanna complain about him? Fine. But be fair and call out the other guys too.

Babbitt looks like a Beatles groupie out there.

Are you saying Reke gets criticized more than Gordon?

Holiday drawing fouls!

Man, those offensive fouls by LBJ. That's like the 3rd tonight. Lol. I can't wait for AD to be that level and just get EVERY call.

In this game thread? Absolutely.

Joe Harris is going to be an excellent bench scorer

We're winning despite Lebron not getting called for all his offensive fouls.

AD needs to be more involved offensively.

Who is not being even? Gordon can't hit his open looks, jrue has taken a bunch of bad shots and passed up some good passes and Reke is playing like he rode the short bus to the game on offense.

It seems like this board is turning into the Reke defense force. The guy is arguably our best guard but that doesn't immunize him from criticism.

Feels weird being up by only 5. We've played so well. Had no problem with the rotations other than taking the backups out about a minute too late and keeping Salmons in for an extra few possessions after that.

He needs to get started by being more involved defensively.

We better hope they don't get the last possession in a close game, he can just run into the paint and push everyone away for a free basket...

He's on the perimiter guarding love. This will be a quiet night for AD defensively. Even in a 3 big set, AD would have to guard James.
