I was thinking the same thing. The big V has been pretty good this season why did we not get it into him at all? Ingram kept forcing the issue. He did the same thing last season in games where Zion was on fire.Originally Posted by Pelicanidae
Lol. Maybe that's it.
Coaching helps alot of this. He calls a timeout when the game is over and not when BI is forcing shots. Strange.
Actually it worked in their 1st win against Minnesota. But that was on a regular rotation.
This game you ask a player that sat for extended minutes (on some minute restriction) to come in and take the team home. THAT never works.
Jonas had a mismatch on Kuzma and nobody recognized it. Then dumb unforced turnovers. They deserved to lose this one and it had little to do with Washington's defense.
And I am still perplexed with Trey's minutes.
Ingram looked like he was trying to throw the game in the 4th quarter. Pitiful!
BI always trying to channel that Kawhi Leonard ISO magic in close games and I think it only worked one time against the Celtics
Unreal how much the Pels are the kings of blowing double digit leads in the 2H and 4Q. Anytime they have a big lead, pretty much can expect the game to be a loss. Makes it impossible to understand this team?s purpose to even suit up, as a fan.
Rookie head coaches aren't really great. They always start out as losers. I get you get like Ty Lue, Steve Kerr, Pop, and Nick Nurse be championship coaches their 1st year, but those are outliers.
This game was on Willie. 100%.
Twice. Once against Utah. I was at the game and he made a huge bucket. Only for Gobert to get a bogus call to send it to OT. But that’s it. So, why is he closing the games without anyone getting a touch for a while? Alvin Greene is why.
Yeah, I feel ya. I'm not saying give up on Willie, it's just some decisions he's making right now aren't good imo.
It was and that's the thing when you get a 40 year old rookie head coach.
As much our team will have growing pains. So will our head coach...
They play to blow the game. You can’t put Temple and Sato on the court together. That’s the most unplayable combo I’m the league.
Brandon Ingram hit 2 FT with 6:11. Pelicans didn't score again until 1:16.

In between:
- Graham miss
- Ingram miss
- Ingram miss
- Ingram miss
- Jones miss
- Ingram miss
- Hart miss
- Ingram miss
- Hart miss
- Graham turnover
- Valanciunas charge
- Ingram miss
Yep, that'll do it.
Basketball.
He just got out coached thoroughly by a rookie head coach. I see what you are saying, but it’s just unfortunate that our rookie head coach looks like a rookie to the extreme. He looks like Kira Lewis Of the coaches.
Yeah bench is just sad and that's another reason we lost the game but Willie has to play either Ingram or Jonas w/ the bench, can't think playing Hart or NAW w/ them is gonna get it.
Btw, no real ball movement on these misses.
This is true. Those three consecutive Ingram misses were all total, 100% iso-ball shots, for example. Zero passing whatsoever, all attempts at self-creation from nothing.
Yep. I've been yelling this for while. These are not NBA players. They should only be used as salary filler for trade deals and should never actually see the floor. Our great GM mind didn't get the memo.
And against Denver last year and Minnesota a few weeks ago. The Minnesota game won't count as "crunch" but he kept hitting big shots to keep them 2 - 3 possessions away late in the 4th.
That said he's got to stop relying on mid range jump shots so much. Go to the rim to get a layup or draw a foul. Thats what the Kawhi Leonards do. And looked like that light came on but too late in this game.
But if he's not in a regular flow of the game then diversify the attack. You have a constant mismatch with Jonas. Why keep forcing it to Ingram after sitting him for so long?
Trey's minutes need to go up and Sato's minutes need to come down. He's done all he can to increase his trade value at this point.

6:11 to 1:16?
Palindromic Illuminati confirmed
We shouldn’t even be having this conversation. No other fan base would. They would be celebrating right now because they would have not blown a 19 point lead. We, on the other hand, are left helpless and confused because we can see what the organization apparently can’t.
Yeah... Willie only started coaching 2016. Wes Unseld Jr got his start in 2005.
It's one of things that I didn't like about Willie. He only had 4 years as coaching under his belt.
With how much the media, league, and playersloves Willie's potential. I think it's worth working through his learning process as well.
Per Will Guillory, Jonas last shot of the game came with 11:13 in the 4th.
He got called for a charge late in the 4th, but that is still far too few looks for a key player. Harrel really had no answer besides trying to draw charges on him.
That is all on Willy and also Devonte. Your point guard has to recognize mismatches also.
