Game Day Thread! Pelicans vs. Clippers 12/06/14

WHY DO U GUYS H8 ON JOHN?!?!?

Bench giving us life

Anderson WTF?!?!?!?!?! Common just bc you make your 1st out of 5 doesn't mean you have to jack up a horrible shot next possession. Wow.

salmons plays D for the steal and dunk????????????

Anyone got George Karl's phone number?

Because he has become really bad as he aged.

Salmons is the GOAT

Even AD suddenly can't hit FTs, so there's at least one thing wrong with "everything AD related"

Mekel will either be exceptionally well or putrid...

I don't think the script calls for any middle ground...

Rivers has played fine so far, I dont see what people are whining about

i like cunningham

Ryan didn't pull the trigger as early as he normally has. Looked to pass again, but resulted in a turnover.

Then temporarily switch to a zone look while Babbitt is hot. If Monty can't come up with a counter to teams taking advantage of Babbitt then he should just be starting Salmons.

I thought Mekel was about to check in. Why'd Monty renege on it?

Oh, there he is.

The good thing about Monty's Rotations is we are seeing what doesn't work.

The beginning of a new era

Hahaha

Nice shot Mekel. Scrub.

mekel w the air ball runner, i like it.

The Clips have good enough shooters to bust the zone.

rivers w a great pass, ajinca drops it.

but the starters in please...

LOL that was a terrible defensive possession.

Mekel with the pass

Nice pass by Mekel. Good one by Rivers too but Ajinca dropped it

good enough, thats an understatement, the clips are a team i would never run zone vs.

its like our bench and starting lineup switched roles

I already like Mekel, remninds m of Greivis. Looks like a real PG

so are our starers only going to get like 12 minutes this half?

Ball movement , skip passes to shooters in rhythm, court vision! Yes yes a true PG seeing the court and making nice crisp timely passes

Our bench actually outscoring the opposing bench? :eek:

Seems a step quicker than I thought. But it might have to do with him not playing at the same pace as Jrue or Rivers.

Jrue takes his sweet time, never rushes or expends a lot of energy unless it's on D. Rivers is all jittery and filled with uncessary movements.

Mekel has none of that. But hes only touched the ball like 3 times. And airmailed a floater on one. Found Rivers for a 3 on the other.

Mekel da GOAT

lol

MekeL!!!!!!!!!!

mekel w the dime to AD!

Mekel is a beast

how are we only down by 6?? wow...

Back to back TOs by Mekel.

:hihi: Blake Griffin tried stomping and yelling at Anderson to distract him into missing that 3. Didn't work.

The new pg has the right idea ...

He can't start getting too excited

Jimmer will never see the floor again

No, don't take him out yet....

Aw. Like what I saw. I suppose he has this "high basketball IQ" y'all are on about.

Mekel overthrew AD, but honestly, you can only take positives from that kind of play.

cunningham left in with the starers playing SF.

If his definition of excited is finding AD ahead in transition, he has my permission to go Pinkie Pie out there.

Mekel and Rivers as second unit guards could work pretty well together.

So Mekel seems like he's alright.
