He’s been like this all year!!!

He needs to get traded before the deadline!!

Why is Favors not FEASTING this game!?!!? Get the ball down low to him!!

Ingram to Zion lob, but Ingram throws it a bit off target. Still, I like the lookout for that pass.

They've actually done a decent job at containing him.

jrue playing like he already knows he’s about to get shipped

this is one of the games where Okafor would have 20 by now. Its weird to watch us have such an advantage and not take over, then again i am a saints fan as well.

Seems this would be common sense.. No need to be cute, get the ball to Zion or Favors on the block.. Let them draw doubles and kick the ball out.

In a game where our defense has already been lax, playing Okafor would basically be begging for them to score 150 on us. Dude's defense is egregiously horrible.

Exactly!! It’s not rocket science. Even if you miss... get the O rebound and put it back up.

Ingram needs to stop leaving that guy open!!!

ingram is getting cooked by mclemore lol

I’m loving this squad! It’s must see TV for sure anytime they are on. We should be a playoff team even though Zion missed so many games. I think we have a future big 3 that will be right up there with some of the best. Zion, BI, and Lonzo have a chance to be really, really special. Then add Hayes, NAW, and Hart to the core that should be here a long time.

For every bit as good offensively as Ingram has been tonight (and he has been, largely, very good) he's also shown his defensive issues.

Ingram is not a great defender. He just isn't.

It's the way they have him playing defense off-ball that I don't like.. He's always off of his man in passing lanes, and anticipating help. I don't like that scheme at all.

This is probably a good game for Frank to play in.

JJ is terrible thus far.

Ingram is fine on-ball.. Off-ball if the coaches stop allowing him to play free safety we'd see a difference. It's not entirely on him.

Some of these passes this team attempt, makes me want to shoot myself

These guys need to get their sh!t together with these turnovers.. This is ridiculous..

Our transition defense is garbage :hihi:

take jrue out wtf is he doing 2 missed layups on fastbreaks did not look to pass at all

Hahan man. I know this is hyperbole and isn't true....it just feels like they only score after we screw ourselves over on the offensive end.

Philly fans said Jrue Holiday is a very low iq player way back when the draft day trade happened.

Here we are damn near 10 years later and its still true.

TRADE JRUE HOLIDAY!!!!!!! RIGHT AFTER THE GAME!!!

Melli steals the ball. Jrue runs down solo with no help. Jumps in the air and throws the ball away....

BYE JRUE..... BYE!!!! More like good riddance at this point.

These guy just can't help it. Shooting themselves in the feet until there's nothing left.

Yeah jrue has been in the nba way to long to be playing on rookie mode

The only team that can beat the Pelicans today is the Pelicans.

jrue and jj killed the momentum we had. theyre both playing us out of this game

Jrue has been very frustrating to watch today.. is it just me or does jrue rarely pass it to zion? It seems he gives it more to favors than zion

Would like a 5 on 4, no dribbling allowed, practice session help us learn how to make smart passes for once?

Even if we manage to pull off a win tonight, this team should not be happy about how they've played overall. There have been positive moments, good stretches, things we've done well. No question about that. But overall? Yuck.

based on what is going on now, everyone is playing okafor defense lol.

Jrue throws the ball into the back of a rockets player....

jj is a huge liabilty if he cannot hit shots. a black hole out there

Jrue would be an all-star if they didn't let him handle the ball much (and if he wasn't in the West). He drives well, shoots 3 ok, is a beast on D....henis awful being the primary person handling the ball on a possession.

We don't deserve a win this game..

wow bruh! why do we have these dumb mental laspes almost every game. its like we go super dumb for a minute or 2.

Jure you’re a moron!!!!

An absolute moron!!! Foul with .08 seconds from 3.

MORON!! Pathetic!!

Every single member of the starting lineup has 3 turnovers, except Ingram, who has 4.
