What game are you watching?
I watched the one where they lost their 10th game in a row after being down by 30 points.

 

[theprunetang]

Nuggets just dominated the Warriors in the second half.

I mean, the Warriors are an absolutely atrocious road team.

 

[DDolla]

So Norm Powell is a 6th man candidate? Why did we start him when he’s better on the 2nd unit?

They beat us 4-0 in a series.

Same reason we started CJ, now Ant.

 

[RR7]

They beat us 4-0 in a series.

More recently, we beat the nuggets in a series. Who gives a shit, and how is it relevant?

 

[Strenuus]

If we focused, we could drop to #5 draft spot and have a 10% chance of Wemby which is better than our odds of winning a title this year. So why shouldn’t we tank?

You literally answered your own question lol

 

[noknobs]

They beat us 4-0 in a series.

Are you talking about 2018?

 

[MickZagger]

Wtf were we thinking letting go of Powell. I always loved his game. If he would’ve accepted 6th man role here like he has an LA it would be so nice to bring in a guy off the bench like that.

We lost any kind of depth we had in those trades last year

 

[MickZagger]

9pm start time in Milwaukee?

 

[wizenheimer]

The Pelicans are getting dominated by 30 points and about to lose their 10th game in a row. Did they even see the cliff before they fell off?

They went 3-13 in January. Sheesh.

injuries, but they've been worse than just injured. 3-15 over their last 18 games. 8-19 over their last 27 games. From 11 games over.500 to 1 game under.500 in a month

I was watching the game where the Pelicans were getting dominated by 30 points until Luka left with an injury in the 3rd and still ended up losing their 10th in a row.

 

[KingSpeed]

Same reason we started CJ, now Ant.

Actually no. We started Powell out of position at the 3. Which was dumb.

 

[KingSpeed]

More recently, we beat the nuggets in a series. Who gives a shit, and how is it relevant?

Nuggets beat us last time we played them in a series.

 

[KingSpeed]

You literally answered your own question lol

Yep. That tanking is mathematically the best option.

There was a time early in the season where you looked at the Pelicans and couldn’t help but feel that they were in the absolute best spot in the league. They were playing well, Zion was playing at an All-NBA level and CJ looked good. The Lakers were struggling big time and that lottery pick swap was looking Wembenyama-ry.

Now, their 2 best players can’t stay healthy and may never stay healthy. CJ has looked like, well CJ but with a big extension. Herb Jones hasn’t looked as effective as he did last season. And that Lakers lottery pick may not be as good as thought.

remember, the Pels don't just get the Lakers pick. They have to swap. And as of tonight, they'd be swapping the 13th pick for the 10th pick

 

[BigGameDamian]

The Clippers could really use someone like Mike Conley.

 

[DDolla]

Giannis is Unbelievable. Take that Clippers

 

[OneSport3]

The Clippers 4th quarter offensive execution looked very Blazery. Now I know where Chauncey got his offensive philosophy from.

 

[DDolla]

Clippers choked, they’re watching too many Blazer games

 

[Quatro44]

Giannis literally trying to throw the game away and the clips can’t capitalize. Nice seeing the bucks with the comeback

 

[blazerkor]

People in here talking about how Brooks is the type of guy we want on the team might want to slow their role. Do we want bigger, better defending wings that can make an open three? Sure. Do we want guys with a little more dawg in them than what we currently have? Yeah. Do we want a guy who looked at an opponent's crotch and then punched him in it? Well, I mean that's not exactly a cool move. Maybe save your praise of Brooks for a day that he didn't straight up sucker punch a dude in the nuts.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

We need nut punchers.

 

[DDolla]

Pelicans lost 10 straight games

I remember seeing brooks his rookie year at a game. Loved his game but somethings changed.

Play him at the SG where he is supposed to play and bring Ant in as a 6th man.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

We need nut punchers.

We had one once.

 

[DDolla]

Dame intends to join 3 point shooting contest

Now can we get Curry as well?
