Draft Tyrese Maxey Draft Tyrese Maxey Draft Tyrese Maxey

Moore, Hart, Redick, and Frank are all on court together with Kenrich as the only guy over 6'5.


Oh boy.

Well, the first quarter went okay! :)

:)

Trash rotation by Gentry. And now trailing by 11

Jesus Christ lol

Please fire this stupid coach

We are 14 minutes into this game and we have already played 11 guys.

Come on man.

It's getting in their head. They are thinking about what they're doing too much.

I travel 8 hours for this train wreck.

Call time out. Doesn't change the line up. Wow

Just run a pick and roll Jesus Christ

Edit: literally seconds after I write this, we run a pick and roll and score.

Gentry would of been a nice assistant coach instead...this head coaching thing is not for him...

It's just like... when something isn't working, how many times do you have to see it's not working before you consider making an adjustment?

You'd think that they'd keep someone guarding Siakam after he's scorched everyone already.

this team is quitting already.

Why has Hayes not come in?

Why is Meli still sitting?

Gentry has ZERO game perception. He keeps making the wrong decision.

And holy crap can you show up for ONE GAME JRUE!?!?!?

Jimmy Buffet with a surprisingly accurate diagnosis of the Pels.

"You could always use more point guard penetration"

My man, we're at the point where even Jimmy Buffet knows what's wrong.

Just getting physically out matched. Toronto adjusted and been playing with 3 bigs.

Gentry will only use one.

Jrue's not the problem tonight :hihi:

He's our second leading scorer, shooting reasonably well from the floor, no fouls, only one turnover, leads the team in assists, leads the team in steals, tied for second on the team in rebounds with Ingram, and has played mostly okay-ish defense.

We're losing because Gentry has spent minutes on end running terrible lineups, the bench has been completely unable to score (4 of 20 from the bench so far), and the entire team is over-rotating on defense.

Why is Melli still sitting? R U OK?

the only thing that keeps me sane watching this team is knowing we will be getting a high pick next draft.

This is embarrassing.

Siakam in contention for MVP this season. Raps haven't lost that much

Pelicans surrender their third 70-point first half of the season.

It's November 8th.

This defense is helpless. Siakam has 26.

This defense is unforgivable.

Favors and Jrue returning to form? Pity the defense hasn't fixed itself.

On the plus side, Jrue has just driven and finished at the rim for the 3rd time this quarter so if he can just spend the rest of this game getting himself back to his best I'll take it.
