March 6 - Pelicans vs Kings (31-33)

These 9pm games are brutal. Even more brutal when you stay up for a loss.

I don't really even know what to expect for this game. Idk who is guarding Fox or DS, so hoping for the best.

Trey can't be our only 3 point shooter tonight. And if he is, he can't shoot 20% like he seems to always do on the road.

Flock up!

EDIT: Looks like Fox is out

JV is legit a cone out there vs DS on defense. And he's a boulder on offense. I know we lost last game, but it wasn't because we didn't have enough JV.

CJ is horrible.

The fact that BI can put up 30+ while getting doubled trying to get an entry pass all night is incredible.

Kira>CJ

WHOA Kira had a great steal and then went streaking down the floor and did a crazy reverse finish with two defenders challenging it

You wanna win put Hayes in. Kira and Hayes in the floor together can be a good thing. I'm glad Willie is taking his head out his as

Exactly! They bring energy that the other guys just don’t and it motivates everyone else.

New to the "Kira Can Play Camp, eh?

CJ is a miserable basketball player

Kira should be playing significant minutes on this team.....PERIOD!!

Every shot we take is difficult. We get NO easy looks. Too much dribbling, not enough passing.

CJ/Dyson lineup continues to be huge for CJ's rhythm and scoring.

BI/CJ/JV on the floor together doesn't work, and BI/CJ both play horrible iso ball in that lineup. If you're serious about winning this game then JV needs to sit.

Not a single foul called on Kings in the first 7 minutes of the 2nd quarter.

Naji is a gritty player

DAMN Ingram just completely yammed on somebody! Good way to get momentum back after Kira was badly shook on the perimeter for an open 3

Looooorrrddyyy BI! That was nasty

Herb jones made a 3 point shot! and tied it up at the half!

Nice finish to the half. Good to see Herb and Trey hot the open ones.

At Halftime: One PG (???) is - 10. The other PG is +10. Just Sayin?

CJ -10 and Kira +10 in the first half.

Lol at the same time

It’s amazing what a guard that just moves the ball can do for an offense.

It’s really hard to watch CJ try to operate. At one point, the clock had 9 seconds on it before he made one pass.

Boy yall be cherry picking stats for Kira... 1 assist, 2 points on 1-5 shooting and 0-2 from beyond the arc. But dont mention any of those numbers

when i bet on trey to make three 3s, he dont....i didnt bet on him tonight and he come out and make three 3s lol...

YES! TM3 stood tall for a block and Herb leaked out for a fast break contested dunk

Good thing we are making 3s because they are too

Jonas Vs Sabonis is a fun matchup. Lithuania vs Lithuania big man battle

They just can’t take a lead with CJ on the floor for long.

Our ability to defend the three is beyond abysmal.

I don't understand why Dyson doesn't play more.

BI begs for the ball under 4s from Kira who has an open 3. He is double covered the whole time and has to pass it out cross court. It gets intercepted and the defender takes it full court to out run two defenders who simply watch him dunk it for a 10 point lead.

That's it for me tonight. Hope I wake up to some better news than that.

Same old Kira showing up. Shooting pitiful %s. He'll never be a good rotational player until he learns to shoot.

Team is done. Cooked

Between how bad of a coach Willie is and the lack of any identity, it has completely killed their enjoyment. You can tell the kings are really well coached.

Let’s face it, Zion’s bad luck with injuries, although a lot of people predicted it, has killed this franchise. Without him on the court this is a bunch of mismatched players. Some can score, some can rebound, some can play D but nobody on this team is good at more than one thing. So the combinations of lineups put out there are abysmal. Some real hard decisions need to be made in this offseason. First one is getting the GM right. Next is the coach, then which players can they move to bring in shooters in this 3 pt shooting era?

Jonas is a bright spot at least

Kings are providing a clinic on sharing the ball. 38 assists on 45 makes. That's prime GSW numbers.

Gotta tank the rest of the way. Get as high a draft pick as you possibly can. Only way to bring low cost difference maker to organization.

That’s because Pels defense so bad.

Why are the starters still in with game over 5 minutes ago. Keep wearing them out Willie. Willie too scared to take them out.

Our effort/energy in the 2nd half was pitiful. Willie needs to give these guys some tough love because tonight was completely unacceptable.

Heurter is perfect in a 3 and D role
