Game Thread: Pelicans vs Sixers - 1-26-15

ARGHGHRGHGAHGHRAGHGAYAAAAA

Looked like Ryno just swatted that ball away and it almost went in. That would've been amazing if it had gone in.

Hope we don't sit AD, i wanna see him drop 45.....

nerlens 1-7 with 5 rebounds. Anyone wanna trade Jrue for him?

This is the part of the game where I think we should put our bench in and let them get experience and give our starters some rest (also to prevent any accidents). I'm not on the fire Monty train but I'm unsure why he doesn't play the full on bench more often.

anyone wanna see the blench blow the lead so Ad can come back in and score 50? lol

While he is no AD, they are also missing MCW tonight. Not they would be beating us if he were in, but that is another leading contributor as to why we are beating the pants off of them now, while we lost to them then.

O snap. Monty heard me lol

YAY SALMONS IS BACK IN!!!

I am with you (and I am on that train). Put the starters on the bench and let them take it easy. Let the bench guys come in and do some work.

No joke. Really no reason to let Babbitt come in. If Babbit does NOTHING it's still better than him sitting on the bench feeling dejected. Same for Jimmer. Let Wolters sit and Jimmer play some. I know it sounds like Little League rules or something, but damn. No reason not to let guys get some playtime right now.

No
But we went all in with Jrue.
Hopefully he will recover and become a key part of the equation.

what about tyreke at PG, jrue at SG and gordon the spark off the bench?

Jimmer>Salmon

agreed, i think his injury is precautionary and we are sitting him so the same thing doesn't happen as last year.

I agree. Jrue is on the bench right now. He's watching. He sees how the team is working right now. He should know not to come in and try to mess with the flow. He comes in, takes open shots and keeps the ball moving... Instantly better.

Jrue is our glue guy and the 2nd best player on this team when he comes back .. Reke should come off the bench. That's not a demotion . Reke will still get his 35+ minutes but just in a more efficient way

i agree, but tyreke and AD have such great chemistry, i hate to split them up but ur right its for the best.

I really hate this lineup.. I know we are up by 23 . I don't want to ever see this lineup again after tonight lol

I hope you are right Guru. I'm hope I'm not just a pessimist. But two stress fractures ("reaction") in the same leg in less than a year is a reason for concern.

hahaha

This just became the funniest 4th quarter ever. Someone queue up Yakkity Sax.

if this lead comes down to 12 points I'm putting the starters back in..... I am NOT risking a loss vs the 76ers for a 4 win streak.

Salmons is lights out in 2K you guys

---

from what i have read, a reaction is what happens before a fracture, so hopefully we are being extra careful with him and thats why he is sitting, just to give it some rest so it doesn't happen again. I hope so too man

Wolters is bad

lol atleast he has something going for him.

How long has it been since there was a point scored?

AD with 32 - 10 - 3 - 4 - 3

in 30 minutes... lmao

Ahahaha that was the clowniest five minutes I have seen while at an NBA game. Had me rolling.

Looks like Monty is finally going to take out Salmons for Luke.

"Don't talk back"

No reason why Salmons should get more minutes than Luke
