28th February - New Orleans Pelicans VS Cleveland Cavaliers - 25-33

I guess for Hart the on button to unlock his euro move was on his thigh.

[kidjock24]

This Melli-Zion-Hart lineup scrappy

[Pelicanidae]

Just getting back to carving them up now, Jeez

[Eman5805]

Almost feel bad for NAW being sent down to G-League. We won't need the starters in the 4th quarter at this rate.

[Pelicanidae]

Zion with a circus layup off the Lonzo lob that was made available from the Melli block.

I swear we've just gotten like 4 or 5 straight steals or blocks in a row.

[Pelicanidae]

So far tonight, in terms of top scorers:

Zion has 12 on 6/7 shooting
Jrue has 11 on 5/7
Ingram has 10 on 3/5

That's a combined 33 points on 14/19 shooting; 73.6%

Cavs combined currently have 34

[Pelicanidae]

Not a fan of that 3 from Lonzo. Was infinite space to drive, and he wasn't wide open or anything.

[Pelicanidae]

Zion has a little trouble defending 7'0 Ante Zizic.

He has no issue stonewalling Tristan Thompson lol

[kidjock24]

We running so fast we are getting rebounds on fast break shots before Cleveland gets down court lol

[Pelicanidae]

Zion has 0 rebounds so far.

On one hand, that sucks.

On the other hand, you have to remember that he grabs a lot of offensive boards, and it's hard get OREBs when your team is shooting damn near 70%

[Eman5805]

With Zion, it's less that he sucks. It's that they tell him to leak out, beat teams down the court and seal his man deep to score before the defense gets back.

Crash the glass or get out in transition.

[Excelsior88]

Oi, JJ's out? Heal quick.

[Pelicanidae]

Man, the Cavs are staggeringly bad

[Pelicanidae]

With Zion, it's less that he sucks. It's that they tell him to leak out, beat teams down the court and seal his man deep to score before the defense gets back.

Crash the glass or get out in transition.

Yeah I know, I didn't say he sucks. I said it sucks that he has 0 boards, that's all.

[Pelicanidae]

Lonzo assessed a flagrant

[Pelicanidae]

Ingram just died on two consecutive screens

[Excelsior88]

Honestly, from the angle they showed I couldn't see where he landed on Lonzo's foot.

[Pelicanidae]

Moore just stumbles into Garland for the charge

[Pelicanidae]

Honestly, from the angle they showed I couldn't see where he landed on Lonzo's foot.

He didn't, I think. You're not allowed to land in the shooter's space.

[Pelicanidae]

Jrue just went under that screen and then never came out the other side. Very weird, not a fan of that whatsoever.

[Speakthetruth]

This is basically a warm up game for Sunday

[Excelsior88]

Oh, I assumed it was because they thought he landed on the foot, hence why he grabbed his ankle on the ground.

[Pelicanidae]

Ingram with a charge. That looked suspect to me, that should not be a charge.

[Pelicanidae]

Oh, I assumed it was because they thought he landed on the foot, hence why he grabbed his ankle on the ground.

I think that's why they reviewed it, but not why they assessed it a flagrant

[Pelicanidae]

Uuuugly play there.
