We go again.

This time, also without BI:

Brandon Ingram will not play tonight against the Magic for precautionary reasons, per the team.

He has a right knee contusion after he bumped knees during the Minnesota game on Monday.

BI practiced Tuesday and participated in shootaround today.

On the plus side, Jonas is expected to play, so while we obviously lose a lot on the perimeter, we do gain something big back on in the interior which is pretty important considering that we were extremely empty in the paint last game and Jax got dinged up as well.

Let's see what happens.

[Taker597]

Let's see how Jonas, NAW, TM3 and Graham do...

Still a lot left to see without Ingram.

Headed to SKC tonight. Makes me think how much I missed Krispy Krunchy Chicken.

Doing the same and had the exact same thought lol. I don't know what it is about that gas station chicken, but I can't get enough.

Graham better step it up. -13 plus minus aint gonna cut it.

I have Spectrum here on the Northshore and it’s saying on Bally Sports New Orleans that the Mavs game is scheduled at 7:30. I heard another guy saying that he has Direct TV and it’s saying the same thing. Does anybody know what’s up?

[PELICANSFAN]

Says the same think on Cox NOLA.

[TennMan23]

Ok. That’s 3 different services so guide must be wrong.

[TennMan23]

All good in tha hood. Just tweeted Bally that they need to get their guide straight because they were freaking people out and they liked my tweet. Lol!

[Taker597]

This starting line up is sus.

[AtlPelsFan]

Griffin will be fired soon. Talent talent talent

[Taker597]

Big yikes, man.

[AtlPelsFan]

Griffin will be fired after this year

[AD-AT]

Orlando had about 5 short shots bounce right and go in so far. Just bad shooting from us so far and passes not getting home.

Not a whole lot es lazy iso possessions though so that's encouraging

[AD-AT]

These Hart 1 man fast breaks... that's like 4 already and he has 3 mins so far.

[bradael]

4/23 so far. Can't imagine they'd consistently be this bad at shooting during the regular season.

[new city champ]

Anyone else lose the game? My Bally channel just switched to the Mavs game...

[As I See It]

That might be a blessing.

[AD-AT]

I mean the looks aren't bad.. just making nothing

[Taker597]

Looks like the same Ole Pelicans to me. 7-13 start.

[As I See It]

Shooting 5 of 30 or 16%

Edit: now they are up to 22%

[AD-AT]

NAW by far our best player tonight. Like waaaaayyy better than anyone else out there.

Still playing that SVG D though... stop leaving Elite shooters open at the 3 to close on a drive that is already covered

[Eman5805]

Can't watch the game. IT says I'm more than 75 miles away. How the hell is Elmod 75 miles away? More like 7.5 miles away.

[PelicanNation]

NAW going crazy

[donato]

NAW looks insane out there.
