23rd November - New Orleans Pelicans @ Utah Jazz - 6-9

[Fedupfan]

Intellectually, I know that losing this game isn't the end of the world. Utah are a good team, we kinda aren't, and even if we were completely healthy Utah is the type of team we could lose to anyway. We even fought back to make it respectable nearer the end.

The other part of me hates this loss so bad, it sucks the Clippers game is going to be hell, so this was the chance to steal one and we just came out and wet the bed.

No moral victories here please. Those don’t win or improve anything. It just gives people a reason to fail in life.

Uh... where do you see me trying to get to a moral victory?

[SonOfNOLA]

Wow 80 points combined from BI, Redick and Jrue but still lose

[Fedupfan]

BI 30/4/5 on 12-24 FG and 4-7 3pt
Kenny 2/6/1 1-4 FG but has a +/- of 0
and some will have you think Kenny was better.. lmao!!

I don’t know if it was me, but Kenny got scored on every time tonight or fouled. Ugly game for him.

It's not even remotely that serious.

The first paragraph was close enough, lol. But, I read it wrong. It was more of you trying to accept it.

[Eman5805]

Ball didn't wanna stay down. Oh well.

[Fedupfan]

It really is.

[Pelicanidae]

The first paragraph lol

That's not a moral victory, that's just the literal logical reality of the game. Losing to Utah isn't something to be ashamed of, and we didn't let ourselves get blown out. That's not looking for moral victory that's just the literal events of the game.

Another Pels game.

Another Pyrrhic victory. Little troll up there will say otherwise, I guess. Good fight back. That's important for a young team.

[GuardianAngel25]

So much for BI and his shooting % falling off the map! Great job Kenny with 2 points, 6 rebounds, and the best +/- in the starting lineup at -1! BI idiot for locking up 2 fouls in 1st quarter which is reason we lost!

I would agree if they had Gobert, but they came out flat. They should have been ready.

You guys think we might be better off giving Melli's minutes to Oak?

[Wowowowow]

Well - this was a rookie game by Jax.

They took advantage of his inexperience and our lack of rim protection. Mitchell got in the paint any time he wanted and I think they saw the Conley pnr was going to be their saving grace to get them across the finish line tonight.

Back to dissing E’Twaun the close shot misser.

This avoidance of moral victories is stupid, anyways. It's ignorant and completely ignores the psychology of sports.

Those hurt us.. It's why I get so mad at him when picks up early fouls. We need him out there.

Yeah, Jax had some big moments and he still looks good at times, but there were portions of this game where he was getting shredded in the PnR. Part of that comes from the fact that Utah is very very good at the PnR, but some of it is also just Jax's inexperience showing through.

He'll improve tho

Melli doesn't play defense and isn't shooting as well as we thought he would. So..... hell yeah! Teams go straight at him when they see him defending.

I do agree with that.

If you give me the choice of watching my team get clobbered by 30 and look pathetic doing it, or fighting back and losing a narrow one in the dying moments of the game, I'll take the close loss every time. That fight-back is vital.

I know this board is in love with Kenrich, but it would/will be nice if he could be replaced with someone who can give you a bigger offensive threat.

He's basically a better version of Solomon Hill.

When Hart is healthy I put him in that starting linuep until (if ever) the roster is fully healthy.

What is wrong with Hart anyway?

ESPN says high ankle sprain. The team just says ankle sprain.

I'm guessing if he's to come back soon, it's just a normal ankle sprain.

Yea I think we could have really used Oak this game..
