21st February - New Orleans Pelicans @ Portland Trailblazers - 23-32

[Pelicanidae]

Poor decision from Zion there; gambled for the steal and ended up way out of position. Either the scheme accounts for him gambling, in which case there should have been someone moving to cover, or it doesn't and he shouldn't have done it. Lucky Melo missed.

[Nichols]

Ingram comes up the court, again not a single pass, and takes an off the dribble 3. Bricks it. He gets FTs but that's only because the defender messed up; the decision itself was poor. He knows he's not an off the bounce shooter.

He made 3 points on that play.. is also leading the team so far with 3 assists..

[Pelicanidae]

Zion just tried to jump his first passing lane. I like that. I like that a lot.

I like the idea, I don't like how far he committed to it.

[JunkHead]

You know how pathetic it is that I live 4 hours from NOLA, pay for cable TV, and have the game listed as playing on two different channels in my TIVO guide and on the ESPN site...

And I have to watch the damn game on a bootleg stream?


This is so stupid.

Sorry, he's playing a perfect game so far and hasn't made any subpar decisions. Shame on me.

Happy Birthday Pelicanidae! Lets get this W

I provide context to your negativity then you respond with an even more absurd post.. Typical..

[kidjock24]

OH MY ZION!!!!

Just mute me if you don't like it man, it's cool. He's far from the only guy I've criticised so far in this game. Just cause Ingram's your guy doesn't mean he never messes up. Sorry about that.

Moto. Moto. Moto.

[Pelicanidae]

Monster jam from Zion

[Pelicanidae]

Good pass from Ingram with plenty of zip on it for the Lonzo 3

[HartOfaPelican]

Lonzo doing all the right things so far tonight.

I have Dish Network and they just blacked out the ESPN channel before the game was about to start...

Even more absurdity.. No where did I imply that he's perfect or never makes a mistake. I'm not muting you. I'm presenting a counter narrative when you're nitpicking with Ingram.

[Pelicanidae]

I get that that was a foul, but this is a general problem with our ''Ingram at 4'' lineups. He's just not strong enough to guard guys like Melo. Not his fault, but even when he goes straight up he's so easily moved that it looks like a foul and the refs call it.

[Eman5805]

They're playing at a high level right now. Our bench has to keep up the execution and intensity.

[Pelicanidae]

Nice half-drive from Lonzo but he passed way too early; what does he think Hayes is doing with that? He's not equipped with a billion hook shots or floaters yet. Got to either drop that in low on the move, or up at the basket where Hayes can get it close to the rim.

Jrue throws up a much nicer lob a second later, but Jax can't quite finish.

I got it showing on ESPN and on FOX South.

ESPN has a boxing documentary?

Fox has hockey.

I repeat. FOX SOUTH HAS HOCKEY

"SOUTH"

"HOCKEY"

WTF????????

[Eman5805]

Wait until Hayes is powerful enough to finish those YAMs.

[13 - 3]

Did not realize people rather listen to Mark Jackson and JVG.

[Pelicanidae]

Swanigan just set the world's most moving-est screen to the attention of absolutely 0 refs lol

[Pelicanidae]

Literally watching the game on mute rather than pay attention to either of those blowhards

Try ESPN 3

[Pelicanidae]

I appreciate that while the first quarter had a ton of stuff I did not like going on, we still are managing to get it done so far. Up 41-35 after the first quarter.
