August 11th - New Orleans Pelicans vs Sacramento Kings - 1-4 Bubble

Ball on defense lol. He really has no interest to be out there outside of that block. He gets pushed off his line too much.

Lonzo late on the rotation again

Just really bad lol

Jax with some pretty good D there actually including the recovery for the block, followed up by Moore getting swatted in transition before getting his own rebound and missing the bunny lol

Lonzo with the stepback midrange brick

Hart in transition but it rims out

I got to give Gentry credit. He really is the GOAT Stealth tanker

If im not mistaken these last 2 games dont matter. We need spurs or suns to get in playoffs to move up in draft?

Jax with a really nice bounce pass to a cutter. Didn't end up in a bucket but still nice.

Yep, that's it. Nothing we do can change our draft spot or playoff odds now. We just need Suns or Spurs to make the playoffs and we can move from 13th to 12th in the draft. That's it.

Probably. At least one of them will be in the play in games. Memphis sinking like a rock.

Really makes you mad. Gentry gotta go.

Pelicans really playing this game exactly like they'd play a vital game 7.

By which I mean we're down 10 going into the 4th

NAW has played decent defense and passed okay but he cannot score right now at all

Perhaps we've have seen the last of Jrue on the floor as a Pelican.

Perhaps we've seen the last of any of them, who knows *spooky ghost noises*

I hope Jahlil lands on his feet. He seems to be a real team first guy.

Microcosm of this season. Had multiple chances to get the game within one possession.

They proceed to shoot three straight corner 3s and missed them all.

Lol this team

Some people don’t want to trade him for Booker.

Can we stop this fantasy of a Devin booker trade...

Our backups are playing hard inspite of or because of Gentry right now. But our top players can't even seem to give a spit about pursuing their man across screens? Defense is mostly "want to" anyway.

Our players don't have any Saiyan pride. And Gentry clearly lacks any ability to call them out and make them want it either.

I enjoyed watching Hayes. I hope our next coach would spend more developing him and really get him more chances to score points. He's still super raw.

You know that's a complete misrepresentation of the argument lol
