8th February - New Orleans Pelicans @ Indiana Pacers - 21-31

[Tinman]

It is disturbing when I MUTE the TV. It REALLLLLLLLY accentuates how BAD officiating is.

[msusousaphone]

Wow. That quarter felt AWFUL but we only gave up 2 points on the lead.

Looks like Lonzo is struggling to chew gum and dribble tonight.

[Pelicanidae]

I hate E'twaun Moore Lead Ballhandler moments

He's been pretty dreadful most of the game

[boot318]

Zo attacked the rim and scored. People can be quiet about it now! l)

This is what I don't understand. No BI and no Zion and both Jrue and Zo are struggling.

[Pelicanidae]

Oooh, is Lonzo waking up? He drove and scored

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

Zo attacked the rim and scored. People can be quiet about it now! l)

Even I could do that once.
I want that for the rest of the game.
Zo is too predictable.
The defense just knows he is looking to dish so they clog the lane.

Jrue struggling as far as I'm concern is his new consistency of play this year.

[Pelicanidae]

In fairness, and I'm gonna repeat this even though I don't think it's what you mean because I know that post-game, there will be people who try to distort this, Jrue's game has been far and away better than Lonzo's tonight.

The only thing Jrue has really struggled with is his scoring, and most of those struggles came after he got absolutely rocked by Sabonis and had to have his face stitched back up. He was doing fine before then.

Aside from that, Jrue's been playmaking well (his playmaking early was insane, total masterclass) and has been defensively locked in. Lonzo's been making extremely bad decisions all game and he's played traffic cone defense most of the night.

[Taker597]

I guess we are gonna be stuck at trailing 10- 9 games below .500 for the next eternity. Figure.

[Taker597]

The game flow lead changes looks like a knotted up headphone cords.

I didn't see Jrues first half.

[Speakthetruth]

Yall need to chill

[Pelicanidae]

I didn't see Jrues first half.

Honestly, if you can go back and rewatch after the game, go watch that first quarter back. Not just for Jrue, the ball movement from most of the team was awesome. Favors' short roll passing was immaculate.

That said, Jrue's playmaking in the first quarter was dynamite and he was 3/3 inside of the arc. His missing really started after he hit a layup on Sabonis and had to leave the game to get 5 stitches above his eye.

Close game with no Zion or Ingram, lets see how Jrue and Lonzo steps up

[boot318]

Reddick playing this deep in the 4th now?

[Pelicanidae]

Double Double from Jrue.

[msusousaphone]

JJ is so good on O......a turnstyle on D.

[Pelicanidae]

Pacers bench has 26 points

JJ Redick has 23 points

[Pelicanidae]

Jrue with another 3. He's up to 22/6/10, 3/6 from deep

[boot318]

Zo did it twice!

[kidjock24]

BOTH Lonzo and Jrue stepped up with Big plays down the strectch. Close this out PELS!

[Pelicanidae]

Lonzo is 7/12 overall tonight. 1/5 from 3.

Driving is good, at-rim attempts are good, layups are your friend.
