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

[Pelicanidae]

Zion's up to 6/8 shooting from the FT line tonight. This is after shooting 68% from the line over the last 3 games. Improvement.

[Eman5805]

What bothers me about Jrue is he doesn't pass to bigs by putting the ball up higher.

[Pelicanidae]

Do not like a possession where Zion shoots a 3 with zero passes. Not a fan of that at all.

Sort of agree.. They were daring him to shoot. He was open, so I understand why he took it.

[As I See It]

Don't trust your eyes guys. Jrue's ballin….so sayeth the analytics. LOL

[Pelicanidae]

Honestly need to be more trigger happy when it comes to hitting that ''add to ignore list'' feature. Saves you a world of inane nonsense.

Feels like they trying to force feed Zion

[Speakthetruth]

Bucks turning it on

[Pelicanidae]

Pels 3 point shooting has cooled off. Our usage of Zion has not become any more sophisticated. As a result, we're now down 13.

Bucks cometh.

[As I See It]

Please do.

This team, and this coaching staff, desperately need to rewatch preseason games. How pathetic is it that I have to say this in February about a team that claims to want to make the playoffs.

They need to rewatch preseason games, and see what they were doing with Zion then. And then maybe try to replicate some of it in the NBA.

This tactic of ''give Zion the ball and then stand at the top of the key and watch'' is embarrassing and pathetic.

Pels need a quick run right now

[Pelicanidae]

Lonzo navigated that screen like a geriatric concerned for his hips.

They played a good game for 2 quarters at least. GG

[Pelicanidae]

So, to sum up the game so far:

- We hit a bunch of 3s early
- Ingram's been really good offensively, but pretty bad defensively.
- Jrue's been good defensively, but bad offensively.
- Lonzo hit 3 3's early and then vanished
- Zion's finally met someone equally as ridiculous as he is in Giannis and the refs seem content to let whatever happens, happen
- Our offensive is about as sophisticated as spray on cheese
- Bucks are really good at basketball

[Speakthetruth]

Yikes

[Pelicanidae]

This is what happens when a team that's fighting life and death for the 8th seed runs into the team with the highest point differential in the history of the NBA.

Ingram hasn't been bad defensively.. How can your commentary on Ingram be so lame and somewhat accurate at the same time?

[Pelicanidae]

This is what playing against an all-time great team looks like. They keep it close despite extremely hot shooting from the opponent and then murder you in one quarter.

Warriors did this time after time after time

Another awesome prime time game from Jrue Holiday

Have you considered that while I may sometimes be too harsh on him, you watch him with glasses tinted the loveliest shade of rose?

[Eman5805]

Cna't miss anything we should make. The margin for error is nonexistent.

[Pelicanidae]

Tonight, all I want to see is more focus and superior execution from last game. I would absolutely, absolutely love a victory, but I'm not dumb enough to get upset if we don't get one. This game would be our clear best victory of the year if we pulled it off, so it's not something I'm expecting. We just need to go out there and show up. Anything else is a bonus. #WBD.

Well. This didn't happen.

[Pelicanidae]

We're losing the 3rd quarter 38-16, and there's still 2 minutes left.

[Nichols]

Have you considered that while I may sometimes be too harsh on him, you watch him with glasses tinted the loveliest shade of rose?

No, I haven't.. I call it like I see it..

When I don't like his turnovers.. I say it.. When I don't like his silly fouls, I say it.. When his off-ball defense is lacking, I say it..

You however say things that just aren't true.
