January 12th - New Orleans Pelicans @ Denver Nuggets - 23-15

Herb Jones is 2-2 from 3 point so far and our only player with a net positive +/-

Pelicans have to rebound if we are going to come back

The refs trying to make sure the Pelicans dont come back here

Just sit them

I am convinced that grizzlies, jazz, rockets, and Nuggets are Pelicans’ kryptonites.

Would not like to see any in the playoffs if they were in the playoffs and if we make the playoffs

I would go head to head with any of other team

yep

So, basically, we get blown out by Clippers and Nuggets, the two teams to demonstrate where we match up.

How y’all feeling?

I truly dont know what we are going to do against Jokic. You cant double him because he is too good at passing, he wants you to double him. His distribution abilities are maybe even better than his scoring, which is also elite. Cant really guard him 1 on 1 either. Feels like we just have to have a massive offensive output to compete against this team.

Time to clear it out. Really no excuses to continue to play starters.

It's a long season y'all. It's always a roller coaster.

Larry is the only bench guy playing decently. Jose is having a bad game, and Trey has had a really bad game going 1 of 5 from behind the arc. Might as well put Hawkins in and let him start bombing 3s

I feel like we should be able to matchup against the Clippers, if the team shows up to play. Against the Nuggets, man idk

You are both wrong. The answer is Special Teams.

Nice touch pass from Dyson to Zion down low. I continue to be intrigued by Dyson as a point guard, although it seems like the team doesnt see him that way.

Its the 4th quarter, nobody on the Pelicans has more than 5 rebounds and BI has 9 points. Thats not a winning recipe. We are down 15 points its not an insurmountable lead but have to find a way to change the tone the Pels have been playing with. Where are you BI??

The # 11 offense is blowing easy shots and missing WIDE OPEN shots , that's not DEFENSE , that's BAD Offense
And even when we do play good defense Denver's GOOD offense spanks their butt
SHOOTING SHOOTING SHOOTING

That was decent defense from Trey Murphy beaten by excellent shooting by Murray

Flame Me all you want, but I am definitely all for trading Herb Jones, plus Naji Marshall plus picks for another elite scorer

Or, give me CP three back

great help defense from Zion gets a block on Jokic and a 24 sec violation

Dyson can't shoot, it's a surprise when it goes in

Nah, Herb is definitely not the problem here. Our elite scorer BI has 9 points, only 1 more than Herb.

But wait, those guys play good defense, why would we need another scorer?

Trey Murphy has 6 points in 24 minutes. Is he a scorer?

Because never once in my life did I think this team have enough offensive talent to compete with the bests.

I saw the KD, Booker, Beal game against LA

My gawd.

FFS Green. Read the room. We aren't winning this game. Stop playing the starters. Just awful.

Seriously wondering if he's worth his next predicted salary considering his injury also.
