November 14th - New Orleans Pelicans vs Dallas Mavericks - 4-6

[donato]

Herb and Naji energy kicked this game off. A motivated and under control Ingram and Zion make a huge difference.

[Pelicanidae]

114 points through 3 quarters is the second highest total through 3 quarters in Pels history; the only time we had more was 118 back in 2014.

Jerseys must stay too.

I dig the jerseys.

Cant believe Zion missed that alley-oop to explode the Blender

Herb and Dyson putting Luka in the Hell Realm and just injecting so much intensity in this game. Ingram playing completely within the offense and hustling on the other end. Zion rebounding and putting in effort on defense. Hawkins shooting the lights out. JRE giving a handful of useful minutes. Whole team shooting 43% from deep. It's going wild.

[Freyfamilyreuni]

Herb?s basketball iq off the charts

[Pelicanidae]

I dig the jerseys.

The jerseys are undeniably awesome.

[Pelicanidae]

Herb has 19/4/4/4/2

He's gonna have a 5x5 one day

[Freyfamilyreuni]

Lol Zion’s running out of gas

Am I missing something. or are we watching different games?

[hornetsrebirth]

Rough few possessions for Dyson offensively, air balled a 3, turnover trying to drive, and then missed the putback

[Pelicanidae]

Marcus Thornton has the Pelicans rookie record with 117 3-pointers in a single season.

Jordan Hawkins has 32 (and counting) thru the first 11 games of his career.

How do we get Willie Green to just have permanent non covid illnesses?

[Freyfamilyreuni]

Can we get Robinson earl out of there?

[hornetsrebirth]

Dyson able to finish the fast break and then successful ball denial on the inbound pass

[hornetsrebirth]

Can we get Robinson earl out of there?

its crazy that he is on the roster getting minutes

[Pelicanidae]

Hawkins has 32 threes made through 11 games (assuming he doesn't make another tonight).

So if he plays 75 games, he's on pace to make 218 on the season.

Not only would that break the all time rookie record for made 3s (208, set by Keegan Murray) but it would be the 2nd highest volume of 3PM in a season by a Pelican ever. The only season that would beat it would be 2007-08 Peja, who made 231.

He’s doing a better job running players off the line not a good job staying in front of guys cutting to the basket

[hornetsrebirth]

Naji and Herb are tone setters, as is Jose when he is healthy.

[Pelicanidae]

Good TO.

We REALLY needed this element. Also, we really needed to hit on a draft pick. Didn't we pass on Tyrese Maxey and Haliburton to draft.....Kira?

We did indeed!

That said, I honestly think the concerns about drafting are overstated. We drafted Herb, Trey, Dyson, and Hawkins and they're all clearly real NBA players at least and potentially all-star/all-defense guys at most. That's actually a pretty solid success rate. Not to mention picking Jose up as a UDFA and getting Naji on a 2 way.

Cody Zellar should just paste a hairpiece to the top front of his facemask. Problem solved.
