He's been pretty bad outside of a few highlights. Passing's been off for him, when he's usually much better. Tunnel visioning on offense at times.

NAW with the and-1

Facilitating mode set to off tonight

Hart's game around the rim is a bit awful. Not lonzo awful... But he miss some crazy close shots.

BledD'OH

That's continuation for mine

Great recipe for losing games, missing free throws and giving up three point shots.

Brandon just forcing it

Ingram with the no-passing possession again, turnover.

Zion with the great skip to NAW but NAW can't hit

BI thinking he can win the game on his own tonight

Ingram with no passing, again, drive, misses, charge.

Come on man.

jesus christ Ingram... just stop

I'd take Ingram out of the game..

Ah, I see we’ve reached the Iso-BI portion of the game.

no sense of urgency

The BI iso 4th offense needs to be put out of its misery like 4th Qtr Jrue Time.

Playing like he's completely brain dead.. This is when you need to be coached...

This is BI's worst game in a while

You mean you DON'T like it when he drives 1 on 5 and throws up circus shots at the rim?!?!

What's the justification for Ingram having 19 shots and Zion only having 14 tonight?

we play utah twice in a row next ...if we lose this things will start to get ugly

His worst game since the one where he had 30 shots, whichever that was

What makes Ingram's play so dumb is that Zion is having an incredible night from a FG% standpoint.. and you're in iso-mode. If you're going to be a leader you have to be smarter. Coach also needs to tell you to knock that ******** off.

He hasn't done that tonight

Stan needs to take a look in the ********ing mirror. "Give the ball to BI and get out the way" can't be your gameplan at the end of games, time to go in a different direction.

Execute order Hack-an-Adams

His stroke looks nice, should be a better shooter

Hack an Adams

Absolutely. If SVG isn't calling plays for Zion and explicitly making that clear, he's missing a clear trick.

Man this team needs a shooter at the 3, I mean 2

Great board from Zion, draws the whistle on the other end

Zion has 31. He's 5/5 from the line tonight.

Zion with the late recover to let Holmes through but then, late rotation from Adams too. Not normal to see him miss.

Adams making these FTs late is so huge

Something about going back to California has a negative effect on our Laker guys. Either they still have PTSD from their last year in LA, or they really take advantage of the legal weed.

Call a TO and get Kira in there to bring the ball up the court.

Wow. Stan actually managed timeouts somehow

I'm not convinced there was a foul there

Is it just me or does BI look really disengaged?

I'm confused.

We sub out Zion and Adams presumably for FT reasons, but Zion is 100% from the line tonight, Adams is 75%, and NAW is left in despite being 0/3 from the line so far?

Weird.

Feels good to snap this streak.

Good Ole Uncle Al

Player Names	PTS	REB	AST	STL	BLK	fg%	3pt%	FT%	to	pf	mins
Brandon Ingram	22	3	1	1	1	8/19 (42.1%)	3/7 (42.8%)	3/4 (75%)	5	3	35
Zion Williamson	31	7	2	1	0	13/15 (86.7%)	0/0	5/5 (100%)	2	4	30
Steven Adams	12	15	4	0	0	3/8 (37.5%)	0/0	6/8 (75%)	2	0	32
Eric Bledsoe	21	6	1	1	0	8/14 (57.1%)	3/4 (75%)	2/2 (100%)	2	1	30
N. Alexander-Walker	9	5	5	2	0	3/8 (37.5%)	1/3 (33.3%)	2/5 (40%)	0	2	33

Woah, the FT doubled in 4th..

Zion is now 100/173 from the floor so far this season, for 57.8%.
With 5/5 from the line tonight, he is 49/77, or 63.6%

Trending up

NAW was really controlled tonight. 0 turnovers too

It's honestly going to make me angry when Lonzo comes back to take somebody's minutes.

Don't even care who it is.

I'm worried Zion just isn't happy. Not necessarily NOLA. Just saying.

Any particular reason you're worried about that, or just determined to find something where there's nothing?

Pelicans players to score 30+ in a game on 15 or fewer shots:

Chris Paul (4x)
Anthony Davis (3x)
DeMarcus Cousins
Eric Gordon
Solomon Hill
Zion Williamson
