Random thingy I'll put here:

Attachment 6665

Scott Foster is lead ref tonight

https://official.nba.com/referee-assignments/

How many players get kicked out tonight?

So, is it a bad sign that the NBA ran a commercial for the playoffs starting Saturday, and among the many teams they showed, the Pelicans weren’t one of them. But Lebron featured heavily?

It?s rigged. They don?t even try to hide it. They already have the articles ready for Steph and Bron in the playoffs.

Decent start on offense. Have to cut out the stupid turnovers

I'm actually watching a game live for once

Just out of curiosity is that the 1st foul called on the lakers?

Going to be tough to beat the Lakers and the refs. Ho hum

I think the Lakers have 12 free throw attempts, Pels 4. Not one sided at all

It's a big game, so that means it's time for CJ to stink up the joint. 2-9. 1-6 from 3. Obviously terrible on defense.

Lakers have had 250 more free throws than any other team lol

It's all missed shots. Destroys our offense but every one is leading to a fast break that the Lakers are destroying us on. It all comes down to making shots.

If CJ and BI aren't going to do anything special, we aren't going to win.

I was wrong

The pels have no rim protection and ingram can't get that huge contract ..he doesn't work with zion

Zion's showing up.

He is the only one thus far. Need someone else to do anything at all, please.

Thru 3 quarters:

Zion Williamson -- 31 pts, 13-23 FG
Rest of Pelicans 45 pts, 17-48 FG

Jose for sure, but also there is another guy doing it. His name starts with a Z

Zion doesn't want to go home, and we're getting late contributions from Jose and a bit from Trey.

There's potential here.

Tie game with 3 minutes to go.

Being a Pelicans fan is nothing but pain

Shocked BI is still on the bench. He must be hurt

If B.I isn't injured this is a bad look for him to be on the bench

Season going to end without BI or Zion

Zion did everything he could. Hope the injury isn't a life-changer. What more could you ask from him?

CJ and BI should both feel awful tonight. CJ's a vet getting paid $30m+ a year, and BI's staring down the act of requesting a $50m a year contract and this is what they produce for us here? Shameful.

Shouts to the bench, they did their thing.

Teams like Detroit and Washington would pay him that, but would any solid team pay Ingram that money?
