It's so good to have a floor general like EP on this team. Makes you scratch your head at the fact that on why did we sign Nowell in the first place. Anyway great game from him. EP and Jose are going to battle for that backup PG spot coming down the stretch of the season. Something to keep an eye on
Welcome to another failed season
So when everyone is healthy (please God)…. Who is your 12 man roster?
We also probably getting Murray back Wednesday. This team might just have a historic turnaround in them coming up.
Said it all last year lest you forget. The number one need for this team since Rondo is,,,,,
Point Guard!!! Point Guard!!! Point Guard!!!
Special Note: Please cut out the Point Zion nonsense. You are probably a better point guard than that flop.
26:00 it feels like we can have a true starting line up since the beginning of the season
Moral victories are not the same as real wins.
Elfrid Payton is The definition of a true point guard and with Murray is coming back that’s going to be a great one two punch for us.
Fire Willie Green ASAP
Every dayer! 🇵🇭🇵🇭
ELFRID PAYTON IS THE HOMETOWN HERO. Should’ve found a way to keep him the first time we had him in New Orleans.
Willie is still having head scratching moments. Starting Theus & some of his rotations are impossible to understand.
Offense looked so much better with pg .cj turned it 2nd half season over but good to see best game in awhile
If it's a close game we lose got to be blow outs toronto on a 10 road game losing streak if we lose im done
They gave jose a shot payton way better pg than jose facts he just a good spark
Here for the moral victories….🏀🇬🇧
Love Elfrid’s game
Dude is deep!
Why can't the Pels so call 3pt shooters make 3's in crunch time. Pressure bust pipes
We looked good last night, IMO. We just the rest of our squad.
Missi JRE and Elfrid been great
12:49 Pfffff even Jake mocked Willie with a “give em credit”
Hi Jake
I understand this team is too talented when fully healthy to keep losing. With that in mind still TANK. This is coming from a person who wants the pelicans to win a championship. Sometimes you got to go in reverse to go forward.
Every dayer
Missi Has the?
Least amount of experienceof anybody in the NB. You might need to do a story on him.😅
