Boogie keeps getting close to a triple double man and ad is getting rebounds like a man this year

E'Twaun Moore with a quiet 19 points. Still think dude is an underrated player.

I somehow felt better after the Golden State loss than I did this game. It should have been cruise control AD resting our players for the next game. Instead we had to claw ourselves out of a hole we dug.

I'm glad the team didn't fold down the stretch, but they need to have a long look at their defense.

Demps gave the deal so it's clear he disagrees with you.

It would be nice if one of these games the Pels could keep a guard from just going off against them. First Conley, then Klay, and now...Kentavious Caldwell Pope and Jordan Clarkson?? Just been able to take games over against the Pels and lead their teams on big runs.

Wondering a bit if Allen is not fully in shape or has a lingering injury. He may not quite be "First Team All Defense!" vintage Grindfather, but he's still a guy you turn to compete like hell and make things a battle for hot hands.

MConley: 33min 27pts 5reb 3ast on 9-15FG
Thompsn: 37min 31pts 4reb 3ast on 12-19FG
Cal-Pope: 31min 20pts 2reb 1ast on 7-11FG
Clarkson: 25min 24pts 0reb 5ast on 10-18FG

Consistency is still his problem but I'll take it tonight. He was clutch. 8/9 too. Super efficient game

I think it's clear Allen isn't in game shape yet. He played 7 minutes and then waved to be pulled out because he was gassed.

Maybe he also pulled something. I wouldn't doubt it with this team's injury luck. Good news is, we are now 3 games with multiple players out due to injury so we can use the hardship exception.

How long could a replacement player last on the roster, hypothetically?

Until we don’t have 4 players on the injury report or they are cut.

The Lakers got HOT. Like. They were just throwing stuff up and making everything during that run. This is a game we used to lose. But we weathered it. When things got clutch we didn't just edge them out we took the game back over to win comfortably. So yeah, I don't feel amazing, but I still feel aight.

His game will look better as he transitions to full time off ball and secondary creator.

If he gets that every night he may be an all star.

I think we have to take in account that we only had like 5 days of training camp before our first preseason game. We only had 4 preseason games. The season usually starts around Halloween, it is October 22nd and we have already played our 3rd regular season game.

Guys are still getting into game shape and developing chemistry. Their bodies are still in preseason mode. This is not mid season form.

The only team I've seen blazing is the Rockets. Memphis is also 2-0. Other than that, just about everybody has had a dud or two.

So happy they didn’t have to wait 8 or 11 games to get their first win.

I know that win is a win but this one was really ugly. If We want to win in Portland We need to be more consistent. Really happy for our 1 win :cool:

Maybe things will turn around now just like for the saints :) Jrue stats might look all right in this game but when it mattered he disappeared again. But for Nelson we would've lost this game. I dont understand why during the 5 years AD has been here Dell never found a real point guard for him. I guess he had Vasques at the beginnig.

There's clearly one on the roster now, just hurt.

And with Nelson there will be 2. It really could make a difference to have 48 min of true veteran smart PG play out there. Not too many of those guys left in this wonderful "modern NBA" chuckathon the league is running now. Not a coincidence the few you can find are older guys who remember an earlier era when "point guard" meant guy looking to run the team and setup teammates rather than guy looking for his own first available shot off the dribble.

The Nelson signing already payed off. Pretty sure we lose the game without Nelson, who managed to steady things out in the end.
For about 2 and a half quarters the Pelicans played beautiful basketball. We played unselfish, under control and took great shots. There was no rush, no bad early shots and therefore not a lot of opportunity for the young Lakers to play their game.
5vs5 in the halfcourt, there aren't many teams able to outplay the Pelicans. Things always go south as soon as the other teams gains the advantage, due to the Pelicans settling for early long balls, turning the ball over or having trouble finding guys in the paint for good shots or foul calls.
We have no dynamic guards and we aren't very quick. Guys like Clarkson, Kuzma, Hart or Randle will have the upper hand, when we allow them to run.
It remains to be seen, if we are able to force the more mature Blazers into the halfcourt. That's a true test of strength coming up.

Guys its a win. Lets move our focus on the Trailblazers on Tuesday night.
Plenty to find fault with but nothing we can do at this junction.
We do know that the Lakers are a bottom feeder team.

Blazers are going to test the perimeter defence severely

Not expecting a win of any sort

We have a lot of new players , we’re missing Hill and Rondo and we barely lost to a machine , one of the best teams assembled in nba history and we lost to Memphis who beat that warriors team . People need to relax a bit we’re not going to be nba champs this year but we have a good team give this team time to gel together and see what we have .

Crawford is the better shot creator, but not the better overall player. With Rondo out and Holiday struggling we need someone capable of running a team. Can't be all on Cousins and AD. Nelsons age doesn't matter at all. The Pelicans are all about this season. If the Pelicans don't win this season, they will blow the current team up and once again go into rebuilding mode around AD.

You may be right but I’d take Nelson over Crawford any day .

Really fun game to watch. Blowing leads tho kind of suck, but it's Pelican's basketball. We pull out a win and team is so much more fun to watch. Glad it didn't take 9 games to get our first win.

Gentry already trusted Jameer to close out the game for us without even seeing him in a single practice and with us down by 5. If that doesn't tell you exactly how the team feels about him I don't know what will.

We have to become more consistent throughout the game. It's one thing to blow a massive lead, but to do it continuously the way we have the past few years (specifically the 3rd quarters) has to change. Is it down to the coaching staff waiting too long to make adjustments? Do the players simply become complacent? Pelicans need to solve this pronto

What is promisimg has been the steady improvement from game to game though. From everyone really(minus Jrue).

We are trending in the right directions as a unit and at least for me that is what I am looking for.

With that said, if we drop the ball in Portland like we did with LA we likely will not get the win. That was some inexcusable ugly basketball for a good stretch and you can’t expect to win games against average to good teams doing that.

That is why I said for five years :) I was very happy when we signed Rondo. I was also saying that we should sign a POINT guard for the bench that's why I like having both guys. Having them and Tony Allen could make our team closer to the basketball style I like. I really dislike what you called chuckathon I am excited that the Pels could and should go against it.

This is exactly my impression too. There is improvement and having two big men with that talent could be deadly even if the roster is filled with good not great players. It cannot be filled with D leaguers though. And Jrue? Man, I just hope he can jump on the improvement train.

Gawd....I saw we won when I woke up but have just watched the game back.. that 4th quarter was disgusting.

We do (and have done in each game this season) some really good work and play superb in lathes...and for some reason, we just look to throw it all away with some horrible basketball.

Too much talent to be that bad.

We should be damn good when we get Rondo, Jackson, and Hill back. We will be better with Hill starting as SF and Cunningham coming off bench as SF/PF. Rondo, Nelson are great for pg and Jrue, Moore and Clark at SG is pretty solid. Stay above .500 and stay healthy. Our guards are going to be solid going into the playoffs. We should bully teams.
