Mo Bamba is raining 3s on us? Christ on sail...

[Pelicanidae]

AD talking about how the mid-range game is a ''lost art''.

Can we please, please, please stop spreading this myth.

The high usage rate players take as many midrangers as ever. It's the roleplayers who have cut out the mid-range, and usually for good reason.

Seth Partnow has done easily available, freely accessible talks on this.

[Eman5805]

I love how Josh Hart has gone to bat for us...but he's not worth retaining either.

[Nichols]

Sorry man, if you're not in the top 10 of scorers, you're not in the top 10 of scorers.

You're right that the bottom few tend to move around a little, at least when you're still in the first half of the year, but that's just the nature of the beast. Sometimes you are in the top 10, sometimes you aren't. Ingram isn't. Maybe in two weeks, he will be. But right now, as we speak, he is not. That's just how it is.

I'd appreciate it if you held off on the snide remarks tho, kinda unnecessary. ''I'd question one's intelligence who tried to make an argument that he wasn't...''

Coming from the guy who just tried to say Ingram is having a tough time because he literally missed one 3 point shot.. Yea you clearly have an issue with objectivity.

Two weeks from now maybe he'll be in the top 10 is another silly comment. Considering he's 11 right now, and was just in a few days ago.

We can agree to disagree... Like I said, I'm just going to correct you when I see something off.

[Pelicanidae]

Coming from the guy who just tried to say Ingram is having a tough time because he literally missed one 3 point shot.

Yes, that is what I was saying. I definitely wasn't talking about the combined reality of his fouling, turnovers, poor defense, and missing good shots. I was only talking about that one particular corner three that I used as an example in one case. Absolutely.

Give me a break.

[Pelicanidae]

And we're down 20! Wouldn't be a Pels game without it.

[Pelicanidae]

Incoming blowout

[luckyman]

You are now getting spanked by sub .500 teams.

This is clearly not a talent issue.

[msusousaphone]

Opposing teams shooting better on us in game than they do in warmups. It's beyond bad perimeter defense......it's like reverse defense. Anti-offense.

We lend them our power to be better, like the Spirit Bomb

[Wecandothis]

This may be the worst defense in the league

[Pelicanidae]

Good pass from Brandon. He's actually had two nice passes this quarter, one was the baseline pass and the second was that bounce

[Eman5805]

Screw that. I wanna pull a Mistborn and pour my health into a metalmind so Zion can stay healthy forever.

[Pelicanidae]

This may be the worst defense in the league

Coming into this game, 29th in opponent's points allowed, 27th in defensive rating. So yeah, pretty close to the worst defense in the league.

Good reference!

But....it....has to be right? Like. I think we do, somehow.

[Nichols]

Give me a break.

Your reality, doesn't reflect reality.. Reality.. 8-14 for 18 points 6 boards and 3 assists.. That's not a rough game.. even though he could have been more effective without the dumb fouls.

[PineBeltPelican]

This is so ridiculous! This is beyond reason as this point!

[msusousaphone]

Okafor wakes up: "It's my birthday and I get
to play!"

Coaching staff: "Easy there, big fella."

Meanwhile, our starting front court has combined for 6 points.

[Pelicanidae]

After this game, we will have lost 12 consecutive games.

After this, we play Brooklyn, Minnesota, Golden State, and Portland.

There's real opportunity to break the streak in there. If we lose 16 in a row, that's.... that's just unforgivable.

I mean, 12 in a row is unforgivable, but I can't think of a better word for 16.

Since It’s already unforgivable, What’s it going to take you think?

I dunno, man. I already think Gentry's gotta go at the end of this year. If Griff doesn't already agree then I don't know if 16 makes a difference.

[Fedupfan]

He has to go now. Send him right out the arena. Finchs time is now.

Good D from Jax against a fairly talented post player in Vucevic

[Pelicanidae]

Jax then smothers Fultz on the mismatch, but Ingram and Jrue both give up the backdoor to Isaac and it's a bucket
