23rd November - New Orleans Pelicans @ Utah Jazz - 6-9

If the lead can just come down to single digits heading into the 4th, even high single digits like 8 or 9, then there's still chance for it.

So PellyDae you whine over the first sight of BI starting slow yet not a peep when he does something? No pattern here! LoL

Melli is so bad protecting the rim. When Hayes leaves the floor teams can literally attack at will

We can pull off a big upset here as long as we keep it close

Redick has stepped out of bounds like that more times this season than any player I've ever seen for any team :hihi:

I can’t stand this version of Jrue. The dude is not focused at all.

GA check your mailbox

Redick has the most brain fart plays I've ever seen of a veteran

Man missed opportunity right there by Frank! That’s alright!

Jrue, please make some kind...any kind of mark on this game.

This is the issue with giving up those crazy early runs.

We're playing so much better, we're absolutely trying to fight back into this despite the fact we obviously just don't have it tonight, but the lead is sticking around because they just cannot miss.

Jrue is 16/4/4 on 7-13 FG and 2-4 3pt with 2 steal and 0 TOs in 3 quarters.. I missed the first quarter but from what I have seen along with the numbers he has been pretty good tonight.. not the problem tonight

GuardianAngel will get an appreciation thread soon for all his hard work on this board!

HaHa!

BI has been very good attacking the rim and shooting the mid range in the 2nd half!

Terrible foul call

There you go Zo!!

I watch the first two quarters of the game and gave it up (down 20). Not sure what the score is but you guys make me wanna start watching it again. :hihi:

I suggest you turn it back on! But I also didn’t have to deal with the misery of watching the 1st quarter

It got down to 8, it's currently 11 with 8 minutes to go. We've been inconsistent.

PLEASE get Frank out of the game. He's putrid tonight.

And one

Only member of the bench mob to have a neutral +/-, with +0

Melli's a +5, Lonzo +11, and Moore +10

Where has that Jrue been! That’s what I like to see!

Wow.

Us and officiating.

I mean. It's just too much. Utah isn't big. The market isn't great. The team is meh. The star power is blah. But still......same old refs screwing the Pels.

Followed up by a damn airball!

Fun fact: that is Jrue's 3rd and-one of the season.

Yes, 3rd. All season.

That was a horrible decision from Jrue. Had a wide open three, passed it up then took a contested step back 3 and missed

Once we can replace Kenny with Zion this team will be so dang good!

Obviously not in visuals or anything, but in terms of decision making it reminded me of something Lonzo would do.

I hope New Orleans gets healthy and has a nice run at some point this year if only so people can fully appreciate how good Jrue Holiday is.

Ugh. I just hate those silly mistakes this late

Good scoop Jrue

It's just not coming together. Clock keeps ticking down and we just don't seem to have the juice to make it happen.

It is what it is. You can’t lose the game in the 1st quarter like we did tonight. It is/was a good comeback, but we need to avoid the ridiculous lulls.

Win or lose I think this team played very well considering how down they were. Like the fight they have shown and a solid job by Gentry keeping the guys in it.

Big shot by BI

Not a peep from PellyDae on BI yet he loses it when he picks up his 2nd foul in the 1st as if we should expect everything in his game to drop Lmao!

Yep, I agree. Once you put yourself in a hole like that you have to dominate to fix it, and that's hard to do against a decent team like Utah.

And yeah, the lulls are frustrating. That's twice in 2 games we've gone 6+ minutes in a row without a single bucket.

Big lol at Kenrich being the only started to not have a negative plus/minus

Good breakdown by BI there

Championship offense, lottery-pick defense #pelslife

Dagger. Game over

Pathetic game and performance

Super big LoL with his 2 points on 1-4 shooting with 30 minutes. Wrong he’s -5 hahaha. These are the stats you pull?

Intellectually, I know that losing this game isn't the end of the world. Utah are a good team, we kinda aren't, and even if we were completely healthy Utah is the type of team we could lose to anyway. We even fought back to make it respectable nearer the end.

The other part of me hates this loss so bad, it sucks :hihi: the Clippers game is going to be hell, so this was the chance to steal one and we just came out and wet the bed.

Does Gentry even recognize that his team’s defense sucks or is he winging it every game

Everything is a wing. The dude is the worst coach in the league. He sits on the bench and let’s the players do whatever they want all game. It’s terrible as a fan to know that they don’t have any guidance. Just aimless basketball and then “oh let’s try now and make it a game”... people need to stop falling for that crap. The Jazz stomped them and this game was never close

Utah almost threw this game

BI 30/4/5 on 12-24 FG and 4-7 3pt
Kenny 2/6/1 1-4 FG but has a +/- of 0
and some will have you think Kenny was better.. lmao!!
