[illmatic99]

how is that a foul?

 

[Chris Craig]

Inbound violation?!? WTF???

 

[B-Roy]

Melo is getting abused on every defensive possession.

 

[illmatic99]

they have scored on all but 2 possessions.

 

[TBpup]

Well that close game didn't last long....

 

[Labinot41]

Good we need a high draft pick

 

[BonesJones]

Well, that's two wide open 3s given up because we insist on running a 2-3 zone on a baseline inbounds play.

Awesome.

 

[hoopsjock]

Why the fuck has Stotts still not figured out that playing zone on the baseline out of bounds play NEVER WORKS?

Seriously, I'm dumbfounded by this.

 

[B-Roy]

I’m sorry but the Pels have scored on every possession they’ve attacked Melo on. Not to mention the fast breaks that Melo doesn’t run back on.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Melo is getting abused on every defensive possession.

And a lot of offensive possessions too.

 

[illmatic99]

melo is just too big a hole defensively for these many minutes

 

[TBpup]

Well, that's two wide open 3s given up because we insist on running a 2-3 zone on a baseline inbounds play.

Well as we are often told, Terry is an NBA coach and we are not so we must have no idea. Perhaps they should run 2-3 zone on every inbouds for the rest of the year because.....they are smart and not to be questioned.

Your dumbfounded that Stotts is dumb?

 

[TBpup]

Good to see Little back on the floor. First touch.....assist.

Dude is crispy old

 

[illmatic99]

jesus, my rec ball team in college played better defense than this.

absolutely no resistance

 

[James lamphear]

Whiteside has trouble if he away from to cut off angles that where he picks up fouls.

 

[illmatic99]

and LOL at idiot mark jackson calling whiteside a dpoy candidate. this might be the worst P&R defender in the league.

 

[hoopsjock]

Your dumbfounded that Stotts is dumb?

No matter how dumb or stubborn I may think he is, I thought just MAYBE after the 100th time giving up a wide open 3 this season that an assistant coach or someone might mention to him that it's not working.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Well that close game didn't last long....

Too early to call, as they say in elections.

 

[noknobs]

I know they're down to nine guys and don't want to foul, but you have to play at least a tinsy bit of defense, other wise what's the point of even playing.

 

[Chris Craig]

melo is just too big a hole defensively for these many minutes

A fucking black hole...a think Betelgeuse must have supernovaed

 

[Darkwebs]

melo is just too big a hole defensively for these many minutes

Yeah, he is totally an a-hole!

 

[illmatic99]

Good to see Little back on the floor. First touch.....assist.

ahem, you're allowed to actually praise CJ. sheesh. he's the guy that made a shot.

hate runs deep

 

[DDolla]

This one is over folks. We are the Pelicans bitches.... Back to watching Netflix

 

[KSF-ERIC]

and LOL at idiot mark jackson calling whiteside a dpoy candidate. this might be the worst P&R defender in the league.

And the best shot blocker and one of the best defensive rebounders. He won't win but he should be considered a candidate.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

This one is over folks. We are the Pelicans bitches.... Back to watching Netflix

Bye.

 

[B-Roy]

Really liking this CJ.

 

[illmatic99]

[BonesJones]
