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

Good win. I hope Zion and Ingram are back next game because this means Jrue will start paying like a second round rookie for a few games. Then a slow incline in play then followed by a game like this and then wash and repeat.

Imagine Fro-Jrue with the karate headband.

If only they hadn't banned it.

Jrue Holiday finishes with 31 points tonight, his third 30-point game of the season, and scores 17 in the fourth quarter, including 14 of the Pelicans’ last 18 points. #WontBowDown

I hope to see this against Dame and Paul.

Melli has been so much better recently. He is playing very well defensively and his shooting and passing really open things up on offense.

He is rookie. What did you expect? Van Vleet took a minute to develop

He's also 29 and has over a decade of professional experience so it's a big different from most rookies fair to expect him to be a little ahead, I'd think

As mentioned, it's hard not to like this team. In fact, I find it downright impossible not too.

FWIW: I like Fro-Jrue waaaay more and he plays better too. I believe the stats will prove me correct.

Hart had a timely 3 and a great rebound in crunch time though. I never really though he was hindering the team at all. Weird.

Having a low net rating doesn't necessarily mean you sucked. It's usually a pretty good indicator but you can just be unlucky and get caught out with opponents going on runs and stuff. I don't post the advanced stats as like, the Final Verdict on a game, it's just information to take going forward.

That said, if you have the lowest net rating like 5 games in a row or something, maybe that stops being coincidence Hart isn't in that category though.

[Pelicanidae]

Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram were both held out Saturday w/ ankle sprains.

Both are day-to-day however a team source told me the expectation is to have both players back for Tuesday’s game against Portland.

Will see how they respond to treatment until then.

What a great team win! Everyone played well but Jrue....?? Man ohhh Man.... That 4 quarter was something special...

[Wowowowow]

I agree that the ball movement was spectacular this game, especially in that first quarter.
Jrue stepped up big time in the clutch, and Lonzo was feelin it yesterday or something. His overall best game of the season to me because he scored when he knew we actually needed it.

I was actually in the city for something the following day and caught the game. Sat in front of Jax’s little brother and maybe a whole section of friends and family from a school called Moeller. Disappointed he caught foul trouble, but Jax sure is beloved I’ll tell you that.
