Basketball.

I've gone my entire 38 years of life watching sports on TV and not noticing the flashes from cameras. My 6 year old daughter just mentioned it to me and now it's driving me nuts.

My God, we we actually freaking trade for Sloth…

I just start noticing too.
And a child should lead them. Lol.

This is a bad line-up in there now.

Somebody should really do a compilation of Josh Hart's missed fast break lay-ups.

Really disappointing first half. Lets see if Willie can get some adjustments going into the second half.

...if not a complication, then certainly a compilation

Lol. Yeah, I edited that but y'all get it.

WTH!! Can’t see the game. I have Spectrum and you can hear the sound of the game on Bally but the picture is just a frozen shot of a woman playing golf! Anybody else experiencing this?

we getting killed in the paint...houston is getting too many rim shots...

I like Willie Green and he's working w/ what he has but his rotations at times are strange to me. He took Jaxson out when he was cooking and then the line-up he put in started the downward spiral to end the half the way they did. Hope he can really figure that out b/c he will become a good to great coach if he does. Also, usage of timeouts. He has to learn that as well.

I pulled up Bally website on my computer and I am casting it to my TV.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again; Graham is neither a starter material nor a building block for this team.

Were you watching on Spectrum Bally and had that frozen image? Watching on Spectrum’s app now and it has it.

Ingram just lit up the Rockets in that 3rd quarter. Scored 17 points in a 5 minutes span! Pels now lead by 10 after 3.

BI playing like a grown a-- man out there.

If BI never has to come back in this game, we have played a game.

Good game, Hayes energy continues to be effective

Back to back games with 12 assists for BI.

Three straight wins for the Pels, who currently sit in the #10 seed, with 29 games left. Do we have a realistic chance of maybe getting to #8, where one win gets you in? We're 5.5 games back of the Clips for 8th and 4.5 back of the Lakers for 9th.

Good Game. They had to bring BI back in and he ended up w/ 33.

Jax haters are going to explode from all the crow.

And I was told BI had "plateaued" defensively. He has to be named the all star replacement for Green.

If PG and Kawhi never return.....we better pass the Clips. So I'd say that's likely. The Lakers will be a more interesting race.

You knows what’s better than the Warriors knocking out the Lakers in the playoffs in embarrassment ? The Pelicans knocking them out of it in a play in game with nothing to lose playing free ��

It's bittersweet seeing Jaxson Hayes playing well

At this rate look who we may play in the play in game .

I wouldn't count us out. We started 3-16. Also, if we get Zion back after the All Start break, who knows. I know it's a big if but who knows.

Who said Zion is coming back this season? Did I miss a Griff update?

I'm not saying he is or he isn't but if he does it's another big boost for the team.

One game at a time. Hoping we finish 4-3 or 5-2 on this stretch before the All Star break.

If we were to knock the Lakers out, they'd end up in the lottery, and we'd have a good chance of getting their pick though.

Seeing Jax develop feels so good man. And it shuts up the dum dums who never gave the pick a chance since day 1

Why's that?

Jaxson Hayes over the last 4 games:

17pts, 8rbds, 1ast, 1stl, 2blks per game on 93.1% from 2pt range (27/29 in that span). +4 BPM over those 4 games, playing 29.6 minutes a night.

And if you double the sample and look at his last 8 games, just to get a slightly wider picture, its:

13/6/0.5/1/1 on 81% from 2pt range, +2.8 BPM, in 23.9 minutes a night.

What that adds up to is that on the season his EPM is now basically neutral, and is 6th on the team after Jonas, Ingram, Herb, Hart, and Devonte'.

He's been pretty damn good this year whenever he's got major minutes. Things are coming together.

They need experience. Playoff experience will move them to another level. The fact that the team is moving into position without Zion is exactly what they need to do. It's like people expect them to jump into the top 3 seeds suddenly and then dominate everyone in the playoffs without experience.

This is a process. Especially with such a young team.
