Ingram nailed that, cold shot
Basketball.
Bledsoe ends first and second quarters orchestrating bad last-shot possessions.
Bledsoe. What are you doing. Run the clock and make a pass to a guy buried in the corner by a defender.
Need more Zo and Ingram running the offense in the second half.
I'll give Bledsoe time to gel. However I never really liked his game at the Clippers or Bucks. I hope he turns it around with us and changes my mind.
6 3's in 1 half. Robinson is the definition of a knock down shooter. We might want to find him in the 2nd half.
Bledsoe is a really C- decision maker
Why is Bledsoe the first option on this team rn? Why is BI standing in the corner at the end of that possession? Head scratching.
Stan has got to teach these guards to be smarter. Why do you reject the screen and go to Hart last second?
Nobody is training coaches on the floor anymore.
Well the first half is gonna make a hell of a film session
NAW should play more. Bledsoe is just not a good facilitator. The ball stops moving and he doesn’t create the best shot selection.
Oh and Zo would have done something even dumber. Guards these days are only taught to run like headless chickens these days.
End of the half, starters statlines
Zion: 16pts, 7rbds, 1 stl - 6/10 shooting (60%)
Ingram: 16pts, 1rbd, 2asts - 3/7 shooting (42.9%) [lots of FTs though]
Adams: 6pts, 5rbds, 1stl - 3/3 shooting
Lonzo: 6pts, 1rbd, 5asts - 2/3 shooting (66.6%)
Bledsoe: 2pts, 5asts - 1/6 shooting (16.7%)
That's the bright side. Tons to learn from.Originally Posted by hornetzplaya
On the bright side, lonzo hasn't played terrible. Couple of questionable moves/decisions, but I like most of what I've seen from him.
I?m very disappointed with the way our bench handled the pressure and trapping from Miami when they went on that run. It translated to the defensive end as well and we kept leaning off of those corner 3?s. Starters were fine. We need to make big adjustments in the 2nd. We can?t let our bench lose the game for us here.
I agree! A few absolute facepalm moments but otherwise generally solid.
Yeah he isn’t having his best game by a mile. Maybe we should run the offense through someone else, particularly when some of our starters are out.
Decent half.
Positives: Zion being aggressive on offense
Adams getting those easy buckets when they are smaller out there. Like seeing him and Zo run the pick & roll
Ingram making some big shots
Uniforms - I may be in the minority, but I like them
Negatives: giving up too many easy layups on defense
Leaving Robinson wide open on the 3 point line (6 3s!)
Zo making head scratching plays as usual
Bled looking pretty terrible on both sides the court
Free throws for Zion
Hopefully the percentages catch up to the Heat and they don?t make every 3 they take in the 2nd half
Melli and Hayes we're major liabilities with the bench. Still wonder where NAW has been? Or even Kira for a few minutes. Maybe they can facilitate a bit better than JUST trying to create for JJ.
like how we are bashing Zo for hypothetical plays now.
From @ESPNStatsInfo: The Miami Heat hit more uncontested FG (15) than the Pelicans took open looks (13).

Duncan Robinson alone hit 3-pt FG (6) than New Orleans made as a team (5).
Heat hit more open looks than the Pels even got.
That cannot remain true in the second half if we want any chance of victory.
Can't argue with everyone. I just let it be.
Jj and hart are the only bench players that can play... hayes and melli have been useless... i wouldn't mind seeing naw and when he gets healthy maybe even gabriel because he can switch a lot defensively
JJ was part of the problem too. He seemed to be feeling a bit of pressure and started making some poor decisions with the ball. That may mean we need to pair him with someone else, but Reddick didn’t impress me in that 1st half at all. He was poo as well
take your own advice my friend :P
