22nd January - New Orleans Pelicans VS San Antonio Spurs - 17-27

Zion needs to shoot the DAMN BALL when he gets it in the paint.

Zion don't got the moves to not get block yet

[Pelicanidae]

Zion sits: 8 minutes, 2 minutes, 3 rebounds, 1 assist so far.

2 potential assists.

I can see Zion's hating the minute restriction.

[PelicanNation]

Wtf is Gentry doing

[Pelicanidae]

''I would have run a practice on the day of the game!!'' Yes, Jeff, and you don't have a coaching gig anymore, for obvious reasons.

TERRIBLE pass by Ball

[Pelicanidae]

I can see Zion's hating the minute restriction.

I feel like it's hurting his rhythm. He's made a bunch of really good decisions, passing out of double teams and such, but every time he starts moving more confidently he gets pulled.

Hard to build any momentum.

Another one. Jesus Christ... Relax...

[Nichols]

Prime time and everyone plays poorly..

Making shots > than any rotations

They need a spark. Someone to energize the team. I fear we are worrying about the meta game too damn much.

I'd just let him go. Let the boy fly.

Also, wtf is going on with BI?

[Pelicanidae]

Ingram's decision making tonight has gone kaput

This..

[ragincaucasian]

Not one person was in the paint that entire possession. Thats embarrassing and bad coaching. My god.

[PelicanNation]

Whole team looks terrible and Zion visibly frustrated let the man play

[Pelicanidae]

Making shots > than any rotations

Sure, but it doesn't help if you can't build any rhythm, any momentum, or know who's sharing the court with you for more than 30 seconds at a time.

Players need to execute better, but Gentry needs to chill out at the same time and just run the game like he has been for the last 3 weeks.

His defense has sucked as well.. Not happy with what he's doing at all.

[Pelicanidae]

It's not great, hopefully he can calm down a little in the second half and bring it back. He's done that before, where he's followed a rough 1st half with a much improved 2nd.

[Taker597]

Prime time and everyone plays poorly..

Kind of the theme of this season. And you guys want 8th seed.

Getting sweept in embarrassing fashion doesn't build anything.

[Pelicanidae]

Well I guess having all his teammates miss threes is a good way to make him feel like he's still at Duke

Playing Zion in bursts is not going to work very well for him. Especially if he's not going to be a ball dominant player. He's going to pick moments and that comes from feeling the game out and using his energy when needed. Playing in bursts almost requires him to go all out and risk throwing people around and giving up fouls.

[Pelicanidae]

What was that defense. Wow.
