April 16th - New Orleans Pelicans @ Washington Wizards - 25-30

[Biasvasospasm]

Naji Marshall can play. But he can't stay in front of Bradley Beal.

[Pelicanidae]

Flamethrower half from Ingram

[As I See It]

Zion only played 9:59 in first half. Maybe he will have fresh legs in the second half.

[luckyman]

I'm taking a halftime "victory lap" on Naji. This guy getting my cardio right.

...and deserve to.

I wouldn't mind if I never saw EB on the floor for the Pelicans ever again; but KLJ is not the answer right now.

[MichaelMcNamara]

He is playing well. Happy for him. No credit goes to you.

[6warddude]

marshall the second leading scorer in this game so he step up in the first half....

ingram leading the way...

and when billy comes into any game, he stabilize our big position and just bring positive outcomes on the court...

Credit? You're just being a complete moron on this subject at this point. Let it go. I'll just keep up my victory laps.

[Eman5805]

Gotta stop letting him push your buttons, fam.

[As I See It]

Starting Backcourt at the Half: Pelicans = 6; Wizards = 22

[Pelicanidae]

Bledsoe with the worst bailout pass of all time

[Taker597]

As far as I'm concern... we going into the off season with needing two starting guards.

[As I See It]

Welcome to the club!!

(Unless we could move BI to the 2)

[Taker597]

We get some weak travel and unnatural shooting motions calls.

And Zion gets mugged to a no call

[Eman5805]

We should probably be losing. Beal is missing shots he normally makes. But that's what happens. Players get hot and cold on a whim. But you want guys like Beal on your squad because he can go 6/24 all game, but still rinse a game winner from anywhere on the court.

[Pelicanidae]

Naji looking really good tonight, again. He's been very good for several games now.

Wizards are also ice cold at the FT line

Pretty simple formula - when teams shoot terribly from 3 and/or FT line, we got a chance. And I dont think we do much to effect either of those. Just a matter of if they are on that night or not.

Side note: Hernangomez is better than Adams

Bradley Beal is a career 17/67 shooter on shots taken within the last 30 seconds of 4th quarters and overtime to tie or take the lead, good for 25.4%

Surprisingly bad!

[13 - 3]

Lol I would have thought we would have blown this team out with OUR POWERFUL OFFENSE!

For context, is that actually bad? What are league averages for such shots?

I Agree.

Dollar for Dollar, certainly a better value.

[Eman5805]

Makes what we gave up for Adams all the more egregious.

[13 - 3]

Mighty Offense is not blowing this team out.

[13 - 3]

Taker what was the spread on this game? Surely we can’t screw that up too?

[hornetzplaya]

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory again?
