First half over, we're down 1 which is all very fine. Would prefer to be up but down 1 is totally okay.

Hayes - 7pts, 7rbds, 2stls, 3blks, 3-7 shooting

Hayes has made this game worth while. I never thought I’d be begging for Hayes, but it’s happening.

[JJackisangry]

It's really encouraging. He's just picking up the little things so quickly and it's exciting to see him putting his game together. He's really going to be something.

This will likely change when Zion comes back because of how much I loved Zion at college, but Hayes is my favourite Pel to watch right now.

I harp on mentality a lot, but this kid has it. Awesome attitude

Redick with the bailout on the broken play

[JJackisangry]

Great cut by Jrue

[Pelicanidae]

Someone remind me to check how Hayes is doing on screen-assists

[Pelicanidae]

Kenrich has drawn 3 charges and has 2 steals lol

[Pelicanidae]

That's where you can see Hayes needs some weight. Whiteside is a good 250, 260lbs or more, and when he lowers that shoulder and just rams Hayes, he moves him.

[JJackisangry]

Jrue being aggressive and confident. More of this

[Pelicanidae]

Jrue's up to 15/5/5 on 50% shooting. Getting to the rim pretty much at will.

[JJackisangry]

Good drive by Ingram and finish by Melli

[JJackisangry]

Credit to Ingram for creating that even if it was a bit broken. He knew he overextended but saved the play and made a good pass to Jrue, got himself open and had a wide open 3.

[Pelicanidae]

JJ Redick

[Pelicanidae]

Didn't result in points but I love that double drive and kick from Ingram and Jrue there.

Ingram drives, draws the help, kicks out to Jrue. Jrue drives and Ingram relocates; both men from Ingram's drive stay in the paint, not sure if there's a switch or not, and Jrue kicks out to Ingram. Missed the shot but the play was gold.

Redick warming up

[JJackisangry]

Great cut. So many good cuts tonight

[Creative]

Nice 3 quarter run from Meli.

[Pelicanidae]

Lead's opening up

[JJackisangry]

We really should be up by more, but I’ll give Gentry credit for tonight if we win. We are looking more like an actual team. There are still a few embarrassing hiccups, but we have the right ideas tonight.

Melli cutting up tonight.

I was just thinking the same thing about looking like an actual team. The ball movement is just superb. Not a single selfish player on the roster

[JJackisangry]

Nicky has been rough tonight

[Pelicanidae]

E'twaun Moore with the stepback 3 airball.

Please stick to roleplayer things, E'twaun, if you must play.

[JJackisangry]

I may have jinxed us. You suck Gentry
