December 29th - New Orleans Pelicans @ Phoenix Suns - 2-1

Up to 40. Maybe we can get this to 50.

I'm sure we'll take solace in the fact that this will be the highest rated 30 point blow out on TNT the past few season

Zion is a defensive liability and the other teams know it

Shut the hell up.

Zion, Ball, Bledsoe = 1 Rebound between them through three quarters

Does Zion look less motivated this year compared to last year? Last year he would tear the rim down and take people with him. This year he seems too reserved and not as physical. What has Van Gundy done to him? We also need a bench like crazy. Let's keep all our picks going forward and draft SFs and PGs. Hope this team has more toughness than what they are showing tonight.

Based on the way this is going we're going to be watching Steph Curry not miss for 5 minutes straight in practice like 4 times on TNT soon

Why do we play Zion out on the wing on offense. He doesn't see the ball for several possessions at a time.

Y'all have fun watching that, I'm taking this game for what it is: a standard Pels getting blown out game. I've seen the Mavs do this to us twice. Enough with this alarmism.

Is right Stan. Put your pride aside and rest the boys. Get into your starters later and fix this Bledsoe problem. Tbh, Nickeil looks infinitely more comfortable running the offense.

No excuse, tins of opportunities...we are missing tons

So I ended up just watching the game on my phone rather than going to sleep because I'm an idiot, and I'm just returning to say that it's objectively quite funny that we shot 20% from 3 last game, everyone was like ''oh god, how could it get worse'' and then we came out and shot 10% from 3 tonight. Whatever else it is, that's quite funny.

Also, Lonzo with 3/12 shooting, 1/7 from 3, 0 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 turnovers; more shots than Ingram on worse than half the efficiency.

My question is, we were down 40 when Zion and Ingram both had about 22 minutes of playtime. They're both about to hit 30. Why did they play a single minute after we were down 30+? Irresponsible.

Ouch

Zion Williamson is just Julius Randle with clout

Pride maybe, I just none of them are hurt. Especially Zion. That would suck if he got dinged up for no reason huh?

Goran Dragic would never have such a mindnumbingly stupid take, he understands basketball.

Gotta swallow that pride. Look silly on national TV for 8 minutes, it's worth ensuring neither of your franchise bedrocks get hurt.

Good to see Kira getting a few possessions under his belt though

We making a comeback with Kira

I think it's fair to say these guys need to play more together. There is almost no chemistry between those two players and they are the two most important players on the team.

On a negative note, Zion can't be played against a shooter. His lack of length and half-hearted contests make other players so, so comfortable shooting against him. He turned Jae Crowder into Duncan Robinson tonight.

I'm glad I decided not to watch this game. Oh well. On to the next one.

Lmao they changed game

We watching Buddy now
