Hayes in!
Hayes in!
And now JVG is railing against load management.
This is the worst broadcast team of all time. They've so far talked about everything BUT the game. They've talked about Zion, they've talked about the AD trade, they've talked about Lebron's claims of being called washed, they've talked about how tall JVG is, they've talked about load management, but they have not yet once talked about the game.
Now JVG is talking about the dropping ratings. Maybe the ratings are dropping because every show on TV is being commentated on by ignorant blow hard morons who don't care about the game and only exist to insult it and talk about themselves.
*Press mute*
What they are doing out there?
All the Lakers have on us are bullies on the inside. If we can address that even a bit, we should be able to hold on
Jrue just blew up a Lebron/AD entry pass twice in a row. Expert.
Holiday in the streets Kenny Hustle in the sheets!
Our plan was to keeps Guards/SmallForwards on Davis? Man I can't wait till Favors & Zion are back.
We actually have a sensible lineup on the court right now so if we can get the lead up a little by half time that would be nice
Jrue puts the stop on Lebron, goes coast to coast and drops the little runner in off the glass on offense.
Champion.
Hayes just tried to end Howard's existence.
25 in the first half by Jrue. Wow
JRUE SINKS A THREE OVER AD
HE HAS 25
We have injuries people! Quit complaining about lineups when we have no choice! They are loaded with bigs and we aren’t. We have to beat them a different way
Great 1st half! Went by quick
I'll take a 10 point lead at halftime
I will absolutely take being up 10 at the half. Could have been more, but I like it.
Jrue has played 18 minutes, and he has 25 points, 6 assists, 2 steals, is shooting 66% from the floor and 100% from 3 (4-4), and has been the best player on the court for either side.
Watch out though: we're shooting 60% from 3 and they're shooting 20%. Odds are we're going to come back down to earth a little in the second half and they might warm up. Need to have better defense overall to compensate.
Ten point lead. I'll take it.
Gentry deserves an immense amount of praise.
No. Only downvotes for Gentry
Dwight is pushing Hayes under the goal after a FT attempt. I can't wait till he bulks up a little. :)
If only we had Monty we would be up by 15!
Per @ESPNStatsInfo: Jrue Holiday is the first Pelicans player with at least 25 points and 5 assists in a half since Chris Paul in 2009.

Ftlog, Ingram needs to be on Davis at least every other possession or two. This would be a 18+ point lead if we didn’t have a 6’6 G/F allowing Davis to drop 27 in the 1H, half of the Lakers points
When Favors does come back, it wouldn’t hurt to keep him on a minutes restriction. We need him on the court, but we also need him to stay healthy. We have too many decent bigs not to give him some rest. I honestly felt that rushing him back with that tight hamstring was silly, and it showed in his play.
Wanna point out that while Jaxson has had obvious struggles (he is just not strong enough yet to really stop Dwight, for example) he's only picked up 1 foul and has had several good defensive plays in his 10 minutes so far, including an early block, an early vertical contest on McGee that forced the miss, and some decent hedging and screening.
Good game so far for the rookie, even though he's clearly a little out of his depth.
Pels need another Big badly.
AD has 27 points in the first half and his team's down double digits.
He's gonna go for 45 in a loss at the Smoothie King Centre. Just like old times.
I said it before the game Kenny would be a huge problem. We don’t have anyone who can match up well with AD at the 4. Using Ingram would probably be better than Kenny but still not a good option
Oop, refs just noticed Pels had a big who wasn't in foul trouble, so they'll just call another one for nothing
We need Ingram for Lebron and offense. Guarding AD would wear him out
