CJ smh

[hornetsrebirth]

Damn. CJ had such a good look at that game winner

[Mount_Zion]

did they use all there timeouts

[Nichols]

What am I missing???? I haven't watched all the games this year. Why cant JV get significant time in the 4th???

[hornetsrebirth]

Can anyone explain to me why CJ took a 30 foot pullup as our final shot of the game

he had a good look at it

[stevemadden504]

That's the play after a timeout with the game on the line??

[msusousaphone]

A loss you can be proud of.

The Pelicans Way.

[6warddude]

oh well...good game..

Willie Green hates him.

His refusal to play JV consistent minutes and to close games with him, regardless of how well he's been playing or how much we've been struggling on the glass, has been a huge feature of WGs entire tenure as Pels HC. He doesn't like true bigs.

[djrnno]

Anyone that thinks that the NBA is not rigged is a fricking DELUSIONAL MORON

[hornetsrebirth]

I do not like the Thunder, purely because of the way the fouls are called with them

[Freyfamilyreuni]

So does our streak continue, no wins when trailing at the start of the 4th?

[Pelicanidae]

There was no universe where the play we got should have been the final play. Not one.

Coaching!! I don't even blame him really.

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

BI really stood up in this game. 50M reasons.

[msusousaphone]

Tbf, Nance was playing very well. No knock on JV....so was he. But they were both balling.

BI was blanketed. Had he been SGA he would have shot ten more FTs. The Thunder have one great defender and they seen dead set to stop BI. Everyone else needs to hit their shots and they largely didn't.

It obviously wasnt supposed to go exactly like that.

[WhyHornetsWhy]

I don't know how to feel. That was a tough tough loss.

Pelicans in 6

I don't think a single play WG has drawn up all season has gone exactly the way he's wanted. Might be something for him to work on in the off season.

[Mount_Zion]

so many dumb plays

Nance grabs rebound throws it to Murphy out of bounds

Nance throws lil floater over chet and blocked

Missing wide open shots

Ingram was painful

At least have him in for the rebound of nothing else he was killing it on the glass

I hate small ball with a passion. If you have a good big USE HIM!!

[Mount_Zion]

Jonas is a much better offensive option than Nance

They needed a bucket

Sub in and out

If BI can play like the best player on our team maybe. If he plays like the 6th best guy on the squad, like he did today... man that's an uphill grind.

[Pelicanidae]

Plus sides:

- Pelicans played a 57 win first seed on the road in Game 1 and lost by a single bucket.
- Trey Murphy continued to show he is A Real Guy
- Team kept playing to the end despite everyone struggling, and even guys who had been struggling hit shots in the final few minutes like Herb and BI
- JV is the best rebounder alive

Negative sides:
- We lost
- Herb shot like garbage most of the game
- BI had an awful night
- CJ had an awful first half
- WG made some baffling 4th quarter choices, as he has done all year

Oh well, on to the next one.
