Nice job in the post Okafor! Little things like that pass Lonzo does that people don’t notice! Our man Antonio Daniels does!

Frank Jackson is in double figures. Last time he scored in double figures? November 4th.
Basketball.
Frank has done mostly everything right tonight and is making his shots. Good to see as we are missing some key players
If we can just cut this down to 10 going into half!
Frank is a beast! Worked out and was mentored by Jrue all summer let’s not forget!
Tatum is killing us! Kid reminds me so much of Carmelo Anthony offensively with a better 3pt shot but not as deadly in the post yet. Kid is going to be a good one!
This is the 40th game of the year for the @PelicansNBA and it's the 16th starting lineup Alvin Gentry has used.

It's the 368th game Gentry has coached in NOLA. He's used 133 different starting lineups in that time. That's a new starting lineup every 2.76 games over five seasons.
Down 15 I’ll take it.. Not ideal but could have been much worse had we not stepped it up.
End of the first half, we're down 72-57.
Statlines of starters:
Ingram: 11pts, 3rbds, 5asts, shooting 33.3% from the floor (2/4 from 3, 1/5 from 2). 4 turnovers, 2 fouls, -15
Lonzo: 7pts, 7rbds, 4asts, shooting 42.9% from the floor (1/4 from 3). 3 turnovers, 1 foul, -10
Hart: 5pts, 6rbds, 1ast, shooting 2/4 from the floor. 0 turnovers, 0 fouls, -15
Moore: 2pts, 1rbd, 0asts, shooting 1/4 from the floor. 1 turnover, 0 fouls, +0
Jax: 10pts, 0rbds, 1ast, shooting 4/5 (80%) from the floor. 0 turnovers, 1 foul, -9
Needs to be a focus in the second half on getting easier looks for Ingram, preferably within the flow of the offense. The team overall has rebounded okay, but Jax needs to be more intent on the boards; 0 in 12 minutes isn't good enough from a 7 footer, especially not one coming off 2 consecutive double doubles. We know he can do better, and Kanter has been eating up boards.
We are a 2nd half team and always seem to come out really well when we are down. Gonna have some tired legs on a back to back but I think Ingram and Lonzo can handle the 40 minutes it looks like they will get tonight. We were able to give Hayes a light first half so we should see him play some more minutes if he can cut down on the defensive mental errors but atleast he really tries on that end when Okafor is pure offensive threat. We need to slow down Tatum but I’m fine with him doing damage just not Kanter! We have got to stop the easy buckets letting Kanter go 6/6 after letting Gibson kill us in the 1st half last night going 8/8. Gibson finished the game with no more buckets so the same needs to be done for Kanter. Hayes has the halftime to be shown on video what he is doing wrong and correct it. Let’s go Pels!
Frank Jackson killed it in the 1st half looking like a JJ clone. He’s 4-8 from 3pt with 14 points and 2 very nice assists along with a couple of great passes not capitalized on with misses and turning into FTs. So far the best player tonight.
I'm not sweating on Hayes struggling with Kanter.
This is what Kanter does. When he gots the physical and mental advantage. He'll dominate. When Hayes gets more experience. Kanter goes back to being trash.
Tatum putting that Ingram vs Tatum debate to rest tonight..
Lonzo Ball has to have one of the worst floaters in the NBA. There's no arc or elevation on it, he just stiff arms it and while it occasionally goes in, it seems to have like an 80% chance of clanking or not even touching the rim.
