Tonight's game: Clippers. Our injury report is the same as recent games; LAC is sitting PatBev, Ibaka, Kawhi, Kennard, and Rondo. Or at least, that's what the early report says, some of them may end up playing, who knows.
Clippers are one of the best teams in the NBA right now, a 43-19 strong third seed in the West and less than 4 games behind the first seed. Obviously missing guys reduces the on court impact they'll have but this is still a game the team will have to approach very seriously to get anywhere. Let's see which version of the Pels shows up this time.
April 26th - New Orleans Pelicans VS LA Clippers - 26-34

04-26-2021, 03:08 PMPelicanidaeIts weird because this is the first time in a long time we haven't had major injury problems.Quote:

12 games left before we are mercifully put out of our misery.

SVG says Steven Adams and James Johnson will not go tonight.

Says team will start Willy Hernangomez in Adams’ place. -

Really rough start all around.
Zion with 5 of the first 7 points on 1/2 shooting with 3/3 FTs
Everyone else combined: 2 pts on 1/8 shooting
It has been 5 minutes of play. -
04-26-2021, 07:17 PMPelicanidae
Now Zion's missing too, ouch
Offense cannot get going -
04-26-2021, 07:18 PMPelicanidae
I guess the bonus is that the Clippers aren't really scoring either, but it's not cause we're being lockdown agents or anything (though the defense is a touch better than usual so far) they're just missing
-
04-26-2021, 07:20 PMPelicanidae
Ingram with FTs
-
04-26-2021, 07:25 PMPelicanidae
Buckets and Naji

I don't think Jen Hale has ever looked hotter than she is looking tonight

04-26-2021, 07:40 PMDaFranchise80I’m starting to get some Omer Asik vibes from this version of Steven Adams.Quote:

Meanwhile Monty’s defense has held Randle to 8 pts in mid 3rd.
-
04-26-2021, 08:04 PMPelicanidaeI'm extremely impressed. Monty's like 50 year's old, staying in front of Randle like that must be hard on his knees.Quote:

Randle is to PelicansReport like Christian Wood is to TigerDroppings
Ridiculous pining over a guy who was here for 11 games -
04-26-2021, 08:19 PMDaFranchise80This forum has become another TigerDroppings this year. Maybe it’s just a phase that will end in the offseason. :hihi:Quote:

Willy Hernangomez is making $1.737MM this year.
Steven Adams is making $ 27.528MM this year.
Who is the better value? -
04-26-2021, 08:24 PMPelicanidae
Spurs and Wizards tied at 133, going to overtime
-
04-26-2021, 08:26 PMPelicanidae
Raptors up on the Cavs and Bulls about even with the Heat.
If we all win or all lose, obviously things stay pretty much the same between us.
If we lose and they both win, all three teams move into a tie at 8th in the lottery I think -
04-26-2021, 08:28 PMAs I See It
REBOUNDING AT THE HALF
H'Gomez 9
Ball 5
Ingram 5
Bledsoe 4
Marshall 2
Nobody else with more than one. -
04-26-2021, 08:30 PM13 - 3Many of those posters(TD) used to post here.Quote:

this team know how to set you up early for happiness and then later on rip your heart out...

Have we ever gotten an explanation to why Bally is shooting the games on a Nokia flip phone?
-
04-26-2021, 08:43 PMPelicanidaeI don't think so but it sucks.Quote:

Monty and the Suns beat the streak in NY. Very nice rebuild in PHX.

It's pretty amusing that Zion has taken 10 shots and leads both teams in scoring.
Players who have taken more than 10 shots:
- Ingram (13)
- Lonzo (13)
- Bledsoe (13)
- Boogie (12)
- Paul George (11)
- Marcus Morris (17) -
04-26-2021, 09:15 PMAs I See ItI also noticed that in almost 30 minutes of play, he hasn't gotten one defensive rebound. LA mustn't be missing or defense isn't a priority.Quote:

Well at least we own the Clippers this year. Still can’t tank right.
-
04-27-2021, 12:27 AMPelicanidaeA bunch of the good teams this year seems to have one terrible team that just manhandles them.Quote:

The Jazz losing to the Wolves could potentially put a kibosh on the #1 seeding in the playoffs, but not as much as Denver trading Donovan Mitchell for Tyler Lyndon and Trey Lyles.

04-27-2021, 06:38 AMluckymanOk had to come back to this. Just watched other game highlights that are in actual HD. Pels game highlights legit look bad. Like 360p bad. Thought it was my connection at first.Quote:

Wtf is you doing Gayle? :crytear: :hihi: -
04-27-2021, 06:56 AMNola3Hahaha it's so sad. But I don't think it's on Gayle. It started when Bally took over Fox Sports. I would have thought they would just be using the same cameras and equipment but..... guess notQuote:
