    Pels about to beat the Warriors with their own small ball death lineup. With the enforcer Herb as the anchor. Naji plus 24 and really opened up the floor. However he was used today should be his role going forward.

    I still cant beleave that no1 on coaching staff has the balls to tell Ingram and CJ to stop taking contested long 2s. It is so obvious even some dumb espn analyst sees it...

    No free throws,no layups and bad rebounding. With thay style of play we could have Durant and Jordan and it wouldnt help...

    You love to see it! CJ + Dyson could be the move going forward?

    Our next game is at GSW, who will have been playing the night before in Los Angeles. GSW on a back-to-back with no Steph...that's pretty much all you could ask for luck-wise.

    First two times they sit out everyone, hope this happens again...we need the win but the way we are playing, we are not getting it against healthy stephless warriors...

    It would be interesting to see the team with Jax as it’s starting center. I don’t think we would be any worse defensively. The Pels don’t really feed JV heavily offensively, so I think the increased pace and athleticism Jax could provide would be interesting to watch.

    Lineup:

    PG: CJ/Kira
    SG: Richardson/Daniels
    SF: Ingram/Murphy
    PF: Jones/Marshall
    C: Hayes/JV

    Jax has been deemed the "paratrooper" for a while now.

    This is why I dont do game threads. You'd think he was stinking the place up.

    Sometimes when you can't rely on your teammates, you gotta do what you gotta do.

    For the remainder of the season, I would play Daniels with CJ (also there are no guarantees on JRich after this year). Otherwise, I like it until # 1 comes back.

    After Zion came back, the Pels started passing him the ball and getting out of the way. Bad habits continued after Zion got re-injured: they just started giving the ball to BI. It's amazing how different the game is with the second unit that does not have the go-to player. Amazing how many times the second unit got us back into games. Last season the Pels' first unit was better at sharing the ball.

    If CJ didn't let Dame get in front of him so easily Hayes would've had time to get into position, same happen with Bi when he bit on a pump fake and Hayes was not in position to compensate for bi getting burned. Those 2 fouls wasn't on him.

    Exactly, and that's why I am so amused when JV gets bashed for fouling or 'letting his man score' when covering for defensive breakdowns at the guard position. Don't get me wrong, JV is a bad fit for this team but he is very capable.


    Aside: I have been screaming for a stretch 5 since we drafted Him. Would have been nice to go after Mo Bamba at trade deadline. This upcoming off-season, I'm hopeful that Naz Reid finds his way to New Orleans and JAX reunites with Chris Finch and Kevin Hanson.

    Herb = Draymond 2.0 in Willie’s death lineup.
