Games over go to bed!

13-1 run by the Pels after this comment lol. Every Pels game is a game of runs

[Pelicanidae]

Lonzo drives, misses the layup, but Zion gets the Offensive board and McCollum fouls him.

Yes, Lonzo, drive more. Good things happen when you drive, even if you miss.

[Pelicanidae]

Zion pokes the ball loose for the steal

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

Stay up dude. It ain’t over yet.

Plus.... for me.... it’s only 6:40.

They will play catch up all night

[Pelicanidae]

Please stop letting Moore do this.

Edit: by ''this'', I mean dribble the ball in big loops around the court, refusing to pass, for like 10 seconds at a time, before bricking fadeaways. He does it like twice a game and it's never good.

How do they not call Whiteside on that foul. Holy crap he murdered Zion.

4/16 on 3's.

How about try another strategy?

How about try another strategy?

That might involve passing it to Zion, and half the team seems allergic to that.

Right!!! It’s so frustrating!!! Why is Zo the only one that passes to him??

[ragincaucasian]

Help us Zion, you're our only hope.

[Pelicanidae]

Frank Jackson is just tiring to watch. He moves around like a nervous rabbit. Ridiculously twitchy, never seems assured or confident in a move unless it's a wide open run to the hoop.

Is that supported by your metrics or the eye test?

[Pelicanidae]

Great scoop layup from Jrue

If Frank's 3 had gone in, I think the arena would have exploded.

[ragincaucasian]

Frank Jackson just gave me a mean case of blue balls.

Unfortunately if they didn't lay a turd in the 1st qtr this game would be over.

Zion efficiency is other worldly.

[Pelicanidae]

So far tonight, Jrue has been great on both ends. Zion has been amazing on offense and solid on defense (best defensive game so far, probably!).

Everyone else has had moments of okay, in between chasms of ''oh god what are they doing''.

They need to go to Zion until someone can stop him. He can bully Whiteside all night.

Not bad
