  1. Thatā€™s what BI needed to get going I think. I hope. I dunno. This was sad, but Iā€™m glad I stuck around.

  2. Dont let the fake comeback distract you from the fact that this was an insanely awful performance until Luka went down

  3. “Whopper whopper Wembenyama

    Pels were stacked just like ya mama

    Can’t stop losing so much trauma

    Zion come play

    Weeeeee trash. But so is the NBA

    Fuck this!

  4. If you donā€™t decide the game, the refs will. We shouldnā€™t have let ourselves get down so much.

  5. Arhhhh I fucking hate losing man. We got fucked but we also fucked ourselves early. Gonna make it even funnier beating the Lakers sunday rolling in with 10 straight Ls.

    Only silver lining is BI looked at least 80% of himself tonight.

  6. This game was def lost bc of us so I donā€™t want to say we lost bc of the refs when I say thisā€¦ but wtf was that out of bounds call!!! BI wasnā€™t out. But not only that, they let a couple seconds run off the clock after he was ā€œoutā€. Since when do they not at least review to check the right game clock?!?!

  7. Comeback was absolute thrillingā€¦ but 10 in a row is still indefensible. Still though, atleast it seems like BI is finally heating up. It takes him so long to get going but seems like heā€™s back.

  8. nothing more pelicans than a 4th quarter comeback that ends up in disappointment anyways

  9. I hate how Willie’s gone back to playing Larry 16-17 minutes straight to close games. He was doing that early in the season, and it resulted in Larry getting hurt and having to miss time. It’s just dumb rotation management, you can’t play an injury prone player that many minutes straight.

  10. Looking closely at all our assistant coaches. Do they *really* develop our players well, or at all help during games?

  11. Nah I’m not buying this fake comeback stuff…we legit should have had the ball back in a one-possession the game. With Luka out we were obviously winning OT too

  12. Bruh it’s like the same game over and over again we give up a huge lead then almost comeback to just fall short everytime I’m going fucking insane

  13. Iā€™m sure thereā€™s gonna be a bunch of comments that we should expect this without zion, but fucks sake we were briefly talked about as a contender a month ago.

    If we canā€™t win a single game in 3 weeks without zion then we were bound to get exposed in the playoffs anyway

  14. PSA: donā€™t fall behind by 30 and hope for the other teams best player to leave early to have a shot to come back.

    Yea the call at the end was bad but we gotta look at the bigger picture.

  15. Honestly Iā€™m gonna get downvoted for this but i gotta say it, Brandon in the fourth was so much better and apart from early on he played really well, so did cj, Larry and naji, and to some extent JV (although I canā€™t excuse him being a cone but thatā€™s his size more than anything) but, trey, Jose, Kira and herb (offensively) and willies coaching, were the reason we lost.

    This team is screaming for a trade and at this point yeah go get og and a 4 who can shoot because this is the reason weā€™re losing, if we had any shred of 3pt shooting skill we would have won this with luka out

    Also willie, run sets that benefit the players you have, if JV is on the court slow the offence to a more grinding set to allow him to actually be able to keep pace, I feel so sorry for JV when we run back on offence

  16. Can somebody locate the Velvet Room/Oddity at play here! Is the Social Link that only gets half-completed and barely receives any attention? Did the Lost Snail finally book it from Arara-rararagi and come to New Orleans?

    This is the NBA equivalent of that smart kid with ADHD. They have everything they need to succeed. They just have to figure out how to unlock it and output it consistently. (Which I guess makes Zion the Ritalin in this scenario.)

    I mean, what is this? I’ve gotten more entertainment mileage out of Death End Re;Quest this past month than the Pelicans.

    Fuck this team, I’m going to the game on Saturday.

  17. Flock the fuck up pels in ~~6~~ 7 pels ~~fucked~~ stacked league ~~stacked~~ fucked best in the west vibes

  18. This one hurt. Shit first half. Really pathetic performance in the first half. Got lucky Luka went out but glad BI could get into somewhat of a groove.

    Also on a side note glad we saw no Devonte tonight. Kira wasnā€™t good offensively but him actually being able to dribble and drive and throw up some layups allowed for some easy rebounds/putbacks for Jonas. Something that Graham doesnā€™t do at all. Might as well have Kira out there if theyā€™re both gonna shoot like ass

  19. Thinking about what trey is doing starting, it seems he definitely is a bench player at the moment, if we did somehow trade for og I would move trade to the bench then start og over him, so our starting group is much better defensively and og will take 3s

    Then trey can come in and not have to worry about guarding starting players and can shoot because the spacing will be better

  20. Glad BI looked good tonight. Was gonna take him a couple games to get in rhythm. Just look how Kawhi started out compared to now.

    Excited to see what happens before the trade deadline!

  21. Willie has to change his play calling. They are running the same play on offense and running the same coverage on defense. The team has been spamming them since last March and people have figured it out and they can just defend it the same way every time because Willie won’t run another play. This team never hunts mismatches and teams know they won’t do that so they switch everything and get away with putting forwards and guards on JV
