Pelicans play again, this time against the 26-30 Bulls.

Lets see if we can get back into the win column after some shenanigans last game.

Who’s playing guard is the first question to answer with the suspensions/injuries

No kidding... I think Dyson would have been the 3rd option behind CJ and Jose.

[RobertM320]

Naji for one game (tonight), Jose for three. Hopefully CJ isn't out very long. I guess this is also why the Pels added Jalen Crutcher? Also, can they recall Sebron from Birmingham?

Butler and Pelicans forward Naji Marshall were each suspended one game for "instigating and engaging in" an on-court altercation, the NBA announced Sunday.

Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado and Heat center Thomas Bryant were suspended three games each for leaving the bench area during the on-court altercation and fighting.

Miami forward Nikola Jovic was also suspended one game for leaving the bench.

Need to sign Matt Ryan cheap long term.

[AussieHornet]

Derozan is really good at flopping. Zion would get to the line 15 times a game if he could get those calls

[hornetsrebirth]

Can't say enough about Herb's development on offense. He used to be a liability on that side of the court but has leveled up in a big way and it makes a tremendous difference.

[hornetsrebirth]

Damn Matt Ryan went and got his own shot for that 3 pointer. Not just a catch and shoot guy

[hornetsrebirth]

Suddenly it got real sloppy with BI in the point guard role

[donato]

I'm putting this L on Larry. Just an awful, awful game. Not a great game by a lot of people, but he was just so bad.

As a side note, another bad shooting game for Trey.

[neworleanshoo]

crushing loss.

[Fedupfan]

Larry Nance is unplayable. This may have been one of the worst performances by a single player I have ever seen.

[RobertM320]

I still don't understand. deRozan takes 8 shots in the paint, get 12 FT attempts. Zion takes 15 shots in the paint, gets 2 FTA.

Yeah but his press interviews are really important and you need to keep players like that around.

Man, I have never wanted to see a player miss time this much.

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

Man, I have never wanted to see a player miss time this much.

Thats how I feel about BI. Obviously I don't want him hurt, I just hope that he isn't extended as he will completly cripple this team with options down the road.

It's point Zion moving forward beacuse of his contract v's BI's upcoming contract, so I hope things change next season, but they wont.

This is a really really really bad take, and I want you to know every time you post this I'm going to login and tell you that

Enlighten me why paying BI 50M next season or over the next 5 years is good for this team.
Please don't say because they can trade him later on, rather than lose him for nothing.

[13 - 3]

Not a good time to start a losing streak. Schedule gets brutal now.

Because there is not a better player we can sign instead of BI

[donato]

Exactly. The team will be far worse without him. If you need to free up money, CJ is multiple times more replaceable as a salary dump.

[Creative]

They lern NOTHING from last game. Typical Pelicans stupid loss. #PelsLife

[13 - 3]

We took the rat poison from Jimmy Butter. Now we are paying the price.

If that's what you believe good for you.
