6th January - New Orleans Pelicans VS Utah Jazz - 12-24

Woooooo!!!!

How about Lonzo Ball baby!! What he has been doing is just what he is capable of doing on a nightly basis with of course an off night here and there that every star has! This kid is a star in the making just as I said with Ingram. He will be the best all around guard in the NBA I’m the next 2 years. Perfect PG to run an offense surrounded by Ingram/Zion/Hayes/NAW for the future along with guys like Jrue/Frank/Hart and others for the now and hopefully many years to come. I say keep Jrue next to this kid and in his ear as long as you can!

Amazing how we can't guard that guy. Looking like LeBron against us. :(

Let’s steal this

Down 2 with 58 seconds left. Close.

We are bettet than these scrubs. Take them down.

Crap. Tried a bit too hard to get Reddick a shot there. Wasn’t on

Bruh it's only been 4 games where he hasn't played like garbage.

Great game, run a PNR with Lonzo with JJ on a curl.

....that was a clean play on D?

Yeah. Forced it.

Obvious foul. What is a challenge for if not this

Refs won't do right by us.

Utah already on the plane

Wow... They just let them steal a game.

Yeah Utah is just peacing out.

WHAT?!!!!?!??! That was criminal. I feel for Brandon there. Awful decision

It's a crime this wasn't called in game.....to not call it with replay is a joke.

New Orleans teams amd final play no calls man

Exactly. They had video evidence. But because Utah put their jammies on it’s game over. Makes me sick

So can we do this in future?

If we're up 2 in a close game and there's an arguable foul on a late play, we can just walk off the court and say ''nah, it's done. We win it's over don't bother checkign because we aren't playing another second.''?

How does this city continue to get effed by bad officiating in two major sports leagues?

Yeah. That was why it ended. Had Utah stayed on the court the officials would have called it. Bunch of spineless Cheetos the lot of them

It's ridiculous. If Utah had tried that against almost any other team it wouldn't have been allowed either. Try that against the Lakers and the NBA would file you an automatic L, regardless of how the game went.

I don’t think it’s that simple. The officials caved because Utah left the court. It’s just sad. They should have dragged Gobert out of the locker room by his tentacles

Rigged af. the Nfl and Nba. So close to saying **** both

Come on, Zion, I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Should have given the Pels possession and let us play it defended by the one Jazz player left on the court. Good luck, Ingles.

Correct me if I’m wrong, I’m under the impression that you can’t challenge noncalls.

Great game, tough that BI couldn't get that last foul given all the touch and bs fouls they called on us, but whatever man. The kids getting experience on what its gonna take to close out games. And Zion, can't wait til they add Zion.

You can't, but at the same time, the refs did check it.

That said, Lonzo called a timeout with 5.2 left on the clock anyway according to Nate Duncan and Andrew Lopez, so it should never have gotten to that point.

David Wesley sounds like a Utah Shill.

Did they replay it or were they looking at something else?

Just nobody saw it, from what I can tell. Lonzo called the TO, nobody saw, so he waved it off and then the foul happened.

Wild finish to Pels-Jazz...

You can see him call it in this clip, clear as day.

Can you remember a time where you asked for a timeout and it wasn't granted?

"No"

— Andrew Smith写真家 (@DruProductions) January 7, 2020

Gentry saying in the post-game that he called a TO too, and for the first time in his career, he was denied a timeout that he called while the team still had a timeout left.

David Wesley doesn't know what he's talking about. If it was BI who pulled Goubert into him to cause the contact, then a player control foul should have been called against BI; it wasn't (even after the review). So the contact was just ignored...period.

I think he is saying that is how the NBA will justify it and not what he believes transpired.

The ************ announcers were only cool when they were leading or close. As soon as that crap call happened they changed their tune to massive homer vision and said with a straight face "Oh yeah, it was a block". "What are they reviewing, it was obviously a clean block?" WHILE WATCHING THE REPLAY WHERE IT SHOWS ALL WRIST!

I dont know why the refs are against every New Orleans team

James Harden or AD would have got that call. All you gotta do is flick your head back and make a noise. That really stings that we couldnt get that call. It shouldnt matter what stage of the game it is the refs need to get the whisle out and blow it. I missed the game but the signs look encouraging.

On a positive note, this is about as well as I've seen this team play. We played a good team who was shooting and executing offense very well. It would have been very easy to fold midway through the 3rd here, but we were resilient and played incredibly hard.

Jaxson bounced back from two rough games to play well. His defense was great in the 3rd quarter and helped spark the run. BI and Lonzo were both good (though BI really needs to contain the ball better on P&R, he kept being unable to get through screens and trailing and Ingles and Bogdanovich were both way too comfortable). Uncle E was outstanding again as well. Was good to see Nickeil get some run, his individual offense still isn't there but I love the ball and player movement when he is in the game. Wish we could come away with these, but overall, this was a much better game than the Sacramento game we just won.

For some ridiculous reason, you cannot.

No, they were only checking to see if there was any time left on the clock.

Fair enough.

Point still stands. JJ, Lonzo, and Gentry all called for a time out, and the refs somehow didn't see or hear any of them. Whats the point in having multiple refs if they can somehow miss three different people in three different locations calling out for a timeout?

12-25 by the way.

That currently means we are on pace for 26 wins :hihi:

While it's true that the playoffs may be possible, that's largely a result of the fact that the 8th seed might be up for grabs by even a sub .500 team.

For us to finish off the season at .500, we would need to go 29-16 to end the year. Now, that's not impossible but it's certainly not a sure thing.

If we were able to simply go about .500 from hereon in, we'd finish the year with about 35 wins. Which is only slightly better than last year's record, and would secure us a top 10 pick in one of the lamest drafts in a long while.

I feel a tingling he might get a few minutes Wednesday against the Bulls.

...if the 5 on 5 practice tomorrow goes without issue.
