Western Playoffs Round 2 - New Orleans Pelicans VS Golden State Warriors - Game Four

End of the first half, we are down 61-54.

Now THAT is more like it. Entirely winnable from here: let's hope for the Big Third Quarter Pels, not the early season Terrible Third Quarter Pels.

Down 7... I'll take it. Leave it up to the 3rd Quarter Gods...

Nice 2 quarter. Now is Time for brutal third! Give them everything that we got! I mean everything!!!

Good 2nd Quarter.. that’s all we can really ask for after the disastrous 1st Quarter

AD starts making more tough buckets in traffic and gets going, and this game is ours.

AD needs to get focused he is thinking entirely too much just play in the flow of the game man

Despite that miss by Moore, he's been super impressive these playoffs

Showing he belongs as a starter

Hill looking like a 1st pick and contract trade dump to get a real SF.

Assuming we fail to get Paul George, no trade for Kawhi or somehow getting LeBron all fall through...you know through some miracle...would you accept Nic Batum and his contract?

We get the AD from the second half of game 3 again, this is almost locked in for a win.

If it wasn't for that one ref with back to back horrible calls and taking put momentum away wed be ahead right now

The goal is to win so hard that the refs can't do anything to stop it.

We should target Taurean Prince and throw and throw the house at him

We are one decent 3 and D from the ship

We took their knock out punch and they staggered us . We need to come out with a counter punch in the 2nd half.

This warriors team is unbelievably talented but we can win this game with the right effort and heart. We are a good basketball team and we can win this game

I don't know... If we let Boogie walk. We have to retain Rondo on a 2 year deal + 1 team option. We can try to fit Rondo and PG under the cap before maxing Boogie. That luxury tax gonna be hell, though.

It's only hell if Gayle throws a hissy fit

Otherwise... :D

Just seen a GS fan on twitter complaining about FTs.

:idoh:

Just imagine if we had Kawhi Leonard, man...

Perfect answer for Durant.

We are going to have to make an adjustment with Durant. I don’t know what that adjustment should be but Durant is going to go for 50

Didn't respond, not worth the time.

3rd quarter gods have spoken...

Mirotic is eating dirt on both ends right now.

Terrible way to start 3 quarter

We are shooting like 20% on close shots that should be 90%.

Terrible start

Blink and down 14 again. Gotta make the easy baskets, man. Too many careless turnovers.

No energy at all

So we decided that of the two quarters in the first half, the one we wanted to do more of was the first.


Why is that?

Started like I thought they would.

And that is probably game. What an ugly start in a de or die situation.

How is that not a tech in igudala he went straight into the knees of rondo on purpose wtf

So many of them are just easy makes that just wont go. And many havent even been close.

Oh crap, looks like the 3rd qtr regular season Pels have reared their ugly heads. We need to stop the bleeding.

It's compounded by forgetting to defend anyone

That's the hardest thing to watch. Easy dunks with no one on them are unacceptable

Do you think Brad Stevens would accept this?

Gotta get it back under 10 points soon . We can’t go into the 4th down by double figures

Here's just how bad we were at the rim in the first half. We should have been ahead.

GSW and NOP first half shot charts. Warriors shooting 10-18 on midrangers, Pels just 6-17 at the rim #TwitterNBAShow http://pscp.tv/w/1OwxWEQrNWQGQ

Rondo needs to come out

From straight up pride. To downright embarrassing. No inbetween.

MADE A CONTESTED BUCKET AT THE RIM.

End it now.

Dirty play by Draymond Grreen smacking AD in the face

Eject Green.

We need to run a play for Mirotic to get an open 3 look. Need to get him going.

No call on green straight punching ad in the face wow lol
