4th February - New Orleans Pelicans vs Milwaukee Bucks - 20-30

[Chris]

Typical Holiday...

[Eman5805]

Pelicans need to get Zion the ball in motion. Too soon in his career to ask him to create vs length. Zion's sheer mass overwhelms Giannis by far. Putting Zion in motion will give a huge advantage to Zion.

Ingram is crafty as hell.

[Excelsior88]

I like Holiday. I really do, but ya gotta make those easy layups.

[HartOfaPelican]

Holy crap BYE JRUE!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BYE!!!

[JunkHead]

I know that some arenas place additional mics specifically to pick up more net-noise. Possibly has something to do with it.

I guess that's possible. That damn Houston net sounded so nice. Seeing a 3 go in and hearing that snap sound was fun.

[Pelicanidae]

Great steal from Ingram there

[JunkHead]

Also, TodayILearned... Kyle Korver is still in the NBA.

Ingram is so good when he doesn’t think

How do we get him to stop thinking in close games late haha

Ingram is crafty as hell.

I predicted that we'd do something a bit like this. Just dump the ball to Zion early and say ''good luck!''

So far, that is what we're doing. Results have been poor. Shock horror, the 6'6 rookie in his 7th game is having a little trouble being asked to create at-rim shots against the league's best at-rim defense, while being personally guarded by a double team consisting of one of the league's top 5 shotblockers and a DPOY candidate.

[Excelsior88]

Looking like a decent first quarter. Kind of enjoying that but please keep the TO's low.

[Pelicanidae]

Also, TodayILearned... Kyle Korver is still in the NBA.

Yep. And shooting about 43% from deep on nearly 5 threes a night.

He's old as anyone, but he can still shoot.

[JunkHead]

DiVincenzo looks like the MyCareer guys I made back in 360/PS3 era. Same goatee and everything.

[HartOfaPelican]

Ingram having a great game so far. Good to see him hit all 3 FT there.

[Pelicanidae]

We manage to pull out a first quarter victory, but virtue largely of the entire team deciding that they just don't wanna miss from 3 tonight.

6/13 from deep in the first quarter, including 3 from Lonzo, meanwhile Milwaukee start off 1/8 from deep. That's the difference in the ballgame early.

33-26

[boot318]

What happen to the shot clock? Should've been a 24 second violation.

I'm tripping?!

[Taker597]

6 - 14 from 3 won't be another example of laws of averages by finishing 10-40

[Pelicanidae]

They gave Zion a foul call!!

The world is normal again

[Pelicanidae]

Great hands on Zion stealing the ball on the drive there, Bledsoe fouls him rather than allow the transition look

[Pelicanidae]

Jrue stonewalls a Giannis drive, singlehandedly.

[HartOfaPelican]

Holiday is killing us! What a terrible turnover. When is Gentry going to lead that he’s not a PG

[Pelicanidae]

Zion takes Brook Lopez off the dribble and scores

[Pelicanidae]

Zion really should not be guarding Giannis right now. Really should not.

Zion gets fouled again on a drive; no call, again.

[Pelicanidae]

Jrue gets his shot blocked by one of the league's top 5 shot blockers.

How long before someone hits the thread like ''JRUE?! THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO TRADE RJUE!! CANT LET BROOK LOPEZ BLOCK U!!!!!!!!!!! USELESSS!!!''

[Pelicanidae]

They finally called one of Giannis' fouls on Zion :o

[HartOfaPelican]

Jrue stonewalls a Giannis drive, singlehandedly.

You conveniently forgot to mention his 3 misses, and one foul on Gianni’s, and his two turnovers in this quarter already.
