Start Trey Murphy.
Good win against an undermanned team. Not playing down to competition.
I’m happy that Trey had himself a hell of a game. Willie should take note of that.
Pelicans cannot contend without first maximizing Trey Murphy and Zion
The New Orleans pelicans are 1-0 when /u/briguy_fieri eats 5 guys burgers for dinner.
Pelicans win will make this Saints loss sting less. Let’s go!
This was Trey’s play me Del Harris game, but with Willie Green instead.
Its a good win.
Trey Murphy is our third best player and I am tired of him not being treated like it by our coaching staff. Apparently, so is he. I hope tonight puts the whole staff on notice. This man needs to be playing 30+ a night, period. Every night.
One thing the pels have done really well this season is bounce back. Good win, let’s go get some more
Revenge game from when I went to Cleveland last year and Zion nor BI played and these Cavs fans near me were assholes.
So who’s going to the bench for Trey???
I had to watch this game on a phone because the rest of the family wanted to watch the Saints on the TV. Still good to see Trigga show out
Pels giving me happiness while the saints crap the bed. Willie isn’t the best but atleast he’s not Dennis Allen bad. Geaux pels
Pelicans are now tied with Minnesota for the 2nd most wins against winning teams.
Agree with everyone else. Trey needs to be starting. Doesn’t mean Herb doesn’t get 20-25 minutes…but we have to have spacing and scoring to compete consistently at a high level.
Willie giving Trey 6 minutes in the 2H against Memphis the other night was criminal
Two shooters for 85 percent of the game is how we win with this team !!! Herb needs to be benched unfortunately. This is an offensive team not a defensive
yeah at this point any night where trigga is healthy and not playing at least 30 minutes should be a crime.
Part of me for the sheer inquisitive nature just wants to trade Zion and jonas for Lauri and good depth, then run a starting lineup of Cj, Herb, BI, Trey and Lauri, so you have incredible spacing, mismatches everywhere, trey gets to start and the starting unit consists of 6’3, 6’7, 6’ 9, 6’10 and 7’0
Starters should be CJ, Trey, BI, Zion, JV.
Then if you want to play small you can make Trey the 5 and Herb can be the 2. Either way Trey needs to start at get 30+ minutes a game. Herb is the odd man out
Trey had 8 of the team’s 24 fast break points tonight! For the season, he is averaging 3.6 fast break points per game which is 12th in the league.

Least somebody won something.
Solid bounce back game. Great to see the young guys not sulk and show out
We beat em so good all the cavs fans calling us a poverty franchise tonight were headed to their cars early
Rockets on Saturday gonna be huge
