Thread: April 9th - New Orleans Pelicans @ Minnesota Timberwolves - 42-39

    Pelicans April 9th - New Orleans Pelicans @ Minnesota Timberwolves - 42-39



    We move forward the same as we have lately, with the same squad - nothing really new when it comes to injuries.

    The Wolves, on the other hand, are having either some issues or some very very very late tanking attempt. Not entirely sure which.



    Tonight is going to decide whether we get into the playoffs straight or into the playin. Unfortunately, it's really not up to us: other teams play games which carry consequences. All we can do is win our game and then hope. So, that means we have to go in there and play with intensity.

    Let's see if we can win game 43.
    Basketball.

    It's kind of nice to be playing for seeding on the last day of the season instead of clawing into the postseason at all.

    Matt Ryan might not be playing today, but probably already sealed our fate in November when he hit the improbable three at the buzzer as he was the Laker that denied the Pelicans a hard fought win in November. That game may be the difference between playing the Lakers in NOLA or LA in the play in.

    We must take care of business and hope for an improbable PHX win.

    Wasn't that the game where Daniels missed 2 FT's to ice it?? He hits 1 of those and Ryan makes no difference

    The number of games you can point to where one play, one bucket, one FT, one no-call, etc, has decided it is immense. I'm still mad about a Rudy Gobert no-call on BI from about two years ago. The way of the things, I guess.

    Ingram starting off really hot tonight

    Nice to have a game start at a semi-reasonable time in the UK

    Feels like I shouldn't have to say this at this point, should just be common sense for the team but

    Maybe we could run something to get Trey a shot?

    Jonas making his presence felt 7pts and 7 rebounds in 7 min

    BI just ticking here, Gobert's reluctance to go anywhere more than about 8 feet from the rim is meaning Ingrams getting a ton of space in the mid-range

    Clippers currently down 10 to the Suns in the first btw

    It’s crazy that the Pels are feasting on the offensive glass this good against the Wolves

    Well one thing's for certain: Portland has zero interest in winning.

    Huge first quarter for BI

    On another note this lead is fools gold, we are known for getting big leads and blowing them I hope today is not a repeat of that.
