Play-In Game One - New Orleans Pelicans vs Oklahoma City Thunder

[Pelifan]

put in tony snell

[Pelicanidae]

It would be comical, if not so depressing.

[Pelicanidae]

He should go back there

I agree.

[Pelicanidae]

Not that I think his usual rotations are great (they're not) but I wonder what it is about a win-or-go-home game that makes Green think it's time to try out some new material

[hornetsrebirth]

Jaxson Hayes is doing not horribly

[Pelifan]

willie seems to think you have to match the other team's style of play instead of making them match yours.

I've said it before but Willie has an incoherent coaching philosophy where his desired style of play is the wrong one for the players he prioritises playing. So the entire thing just doesn't gel together.

Pels played an awesome energy in the first 6 min but then gave up a 9 point lead to end the quarter down by 3. They showed a spark though I do believe we can win this game.

[As I See It]

Tough quarter for 3M3.

0-5 w/ one TO and he's a turnstile on defense.

when BI is off the floor we should feed Jonas

Oh for sure. Really awful run to give up but there's still over 30 minutes of play remaining and it's a two possession game, that's entirely winnable.

No more messing around with experimental stuff though.

[hornetsrebirth]

A couple free throws down for TM3 maybe that help

[hornetsrebirth]

Boom 2 touches for Jonas and 2 consecutive dimes to cutters

[Pelicanidae]

Trigga

[hornetsrebirth]

TM3 drain a 3 and then hit a breakaway dunk I know that felt good

[hornetsrebirth]

They cannot handle Jonas

[Pelicanidae]

Keep going with the JV stuff.

Classic rule of basketball: if something is working, keep doing it until they make you stop, never stop yourself.

[As I See It]

JV with double double in less than 13 minutes of playing time.

[Pelicanidae]

If he gets the minutes, JV is going for 25/25 tonight.

[hornetsrebirth]

They gotta pester Dort. He is torching us on offense and playing great D on BI. Tire this guy out.

[Pelicanidae]

Beautiful ball movement from Cj to BI to Herb there

[As I See It]

You might be be right. I'll bookmark your post to give you credit.

[hornetsrebirth]

Ingram has been holding his own on defense. Moving his feet, staying upright, not giving up drives to the basket.

[HorneyTexan]

Can't decide if I want to win this or not. Not sure I want to win and then try to win again against Minny and then have to play Denver. Almost rather be in the lottery.

[hornetsrebirth]

BI’s ankle went at a bad angle but he is still in that’s good.
