This is the NBA’s most glaring garbage. It’s the Refs calls based on team and player status.
It will never change till enough players are willing to call out the league!
Kinda proud of the team for fighting back to get it to 10 (after down 20+). 13-game losing streak Pelicans would've packed it in late 3rd.
3Twa- damn
DRIVE ZO DRIVE!!
Wow. What an oop
3pt shooting from our starting lineup tonight:
Jrue: 0/4
Ingram: 2/8
Favors: 0/1
Lonzo: 2/7
Redick: 4/5
That's 8/25, or 32%
Without Redick, it's 4/20, or 20%.
F****** fire Gentry already.
The plays that are set by him are terrible.
Why set up a three when we are playing so well in the paint.
Jrue... misses wide open under the basket....
We could trade him tomorrow and I’d be fine with it.
Jrue Holiday: 4 of 13 (30.8%)
Brandon Ingram: 8 of 24 (33.3%)
Not what you want out of the two guys who usually lead the team in scoring, tbh.
Shouts to Favors for this 15pt, 14rbd night tho
CALL THE CHALLENGE YOU IDIOT!!!!
That cant be challenged?
Guess you cant challenge a non call.
FIRE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God forbid the refs call a foul on the Lakers.....
Have to stop hoisting up dumb shots. Pace and all that is fine if it has a purpose. Jacking up shots early for the sake of pace just isn’t good basketball.
Jrue Holiday, #1 in lazy passes.
Wow. What the hell was that?
Nice pass Jrue.
Worst game I've seen from BI as a Pelican.
Pretty obvious lakers mission is for Davis to torch this tesm
Lonzo still needs to cut down on the 3s (fell in love with it early), but this was his best game attacking the paint. Looked like a point guard tonight.
Too bad when he attacks he pretty much on his own. No play design from these coaches.
Fire Gentry
Huge props to Ball and Favors, as for others... I'm disappointed that nobody else stepped up. This game is a striking reminder to all of us, encouraged by the recent winning streak, that the current offensive system is not a way to go.
Game without defence and without history. And yeah, AD is a #%&$@... :cool:
Stat of the Night.....
Free Throws:
Pelicans.... 6 of 7 (85.7%)
Lakers......23 of 28 (82.1%)
ASIDE: Kenny Hustle didn't play until the fourth quarter and was + 12 in 6 minutes.
End of game.
123-113 loss.
Final lines:
Jrue: 12/3/6 on 4/14 shooting (28.6%)
Ingram: 22/3/3 on 10/27 shooting (37%)
Lonzo: 23/2/5 on 10/16 shooting (62.5%)
Favors: 15/14/2 on 7/11 shooting (63.6%)
Redick: 14/5/2 on 5/9 shooting (55.6%)
We will beat the mediocre teams just on talent now that we have mostly gelled. But this coach will take us no where except for a 46% win percentage.
We need to fire Gentry and fire the GM if he doesnt fire Gentry. No set plays, No defense, no fire in this team at all
Im just sick of all points in the paint for this team coming off a single player's hard work.
It's hard to watch. And you get no foul calls out of it. Just 7 paltry free throws tonight.
And Jrue Holiday went missing once again.
Tonight, JJ should have come off the bench and Williams should have started. We matched up poorly from the start of the game.
Onyeka Okongwu- by the way this game made me want this guy. They could use him very much
Just given the team's comments on Zion, he should be making his debut on 1/16 against Utah (at home) for sure. Unless there is a set back.
That is 12+ weeks post surgery for a meniscus. Anybody that claims the team is "rushing" hi then, needs to be slapped.
The Pelicans social media person even knows not to put up the Gentry post game presser knowing it won’t end well in responses.
He never really has. Which makes me wonder about Griffin saying he is a killer before the season. Trade bait for the deadline? Only thing i can think of for calling Jrue leader of the team before they even practiced together.
Maybe Jrue doesn’t want that stress. Maybe he would be ok with getting paid less with less responsibility?

Before any personnel changes are made, we have to make a move on the coaching position.
Hold Jrue till the deadline and sell him to the highest bidder.
I get why people love Jrue. He is a very good player! However, as far as I can tell, he disappears in the big moments.
He misses a wide open layup at the rim late tonight and passed the ball behind Ingram to seal the game for the lakers.
Not to mention he shot terrible all night.
I’ve never been a Lonzo fan but these last few games have been awesome. The big difference for me is him getting to the basket.

I can't express how much I hate those jokers in purple and gold.
it was a good game but we dont match up with them size wise at the 4 and 5 positions.....we need another vet big who gentry will play that know how to play defense and stretch the floor....
green was hot from the 3 point line and the lakers free throws was to much for us to overcome...
jrue let his boy AD get all the shine by not showing up but i do believe jrue playing PG took away from his game again....this team need a backup vet PG so jrue would never have to take on that role...
on to the next game and lets beat the kings..
Pretty much. I didn’t see poor execution or terrible play from our guys in the strategy of our defense. The Lakers beat us how they had to beat us. They put Lebron and AD in pick and rolls and we did the proper thing, left it up to their outside shooters to beat us. Green was just feeling it last night.
I will say this. After a while, we should have mixed it up play by play to not allow the Lakers to know how we were going to defend it and just started switching on the pick and rolls and had Lebron or AD iso us with quick defensive hedges from players around them. Quiet as kept, Lebron is not the offensive scoring force he use to be to me (in the thick and trees, Lebrons an average finisher in the paint and almost always looks to pass when it looks like he has space to shoot) and I would have lived with him proving he was throughout the game more than we did.
Oh well, on to Sacramento.
Stu Lantz, the Lakers commentator: "Holiday can really get to the rim, I wonder why he doesn't do that more often."
Even the opposition wonders why... :hihi::crytear::crytear::crytear:
