I don't understand this team. We're down 20, desperately needing pace to get back into this game, and we wasted 12 seconds getting into a set, and then the rest of the shot clock for Ingram to attempt a shot in the post.

The Pels just decided to make this a rest game.
No one can shoot this bad on accident.

Not looking good

Typical early season low energy game against a scrappy team trying to win its 1st. The injuries do not help. Zion's offense has been horrid so far. I took the blazers money line.

They can go ahead and shut it down now. On to the back to back @ GS.

Well, at least we have .......... uh, Tulane I guess.

Until LSU baseball starts, there’s not much else in the local sports world unless the Pels can start playing like a contender.

I didn’t watch this game, what happened? What went wrong? Did Simmons bark at BI, “I’ll tell who’s better!” (Such a weird AF storyline).

Like last year, poor ball movement leads to iso ball, and poor shooting doesn't help.

This game was a good example of why DJM was such a good pickup, and why BI needs to get traded for a starting caliber 5.

The ball dies 9/10 times when he is a part of initiating offense, and slows down at best. The one common thread across the first three games as well is us getting killed in the paint. We have to address this to be a factor in the playoffs.

I like BI, but he wants too much money and we need a center badly. We have more than enough scoring options without him if we run the offense.

Oh…it was. BI game.

Pelicans have always been anti-analytics.

All bad pelicans basketball aside. I do not like how the refs just allowed Ayton and Clingan to camp out in the paint all night. There were zero 3 second calls on them. This is not college. Willie needs to get on top of that and now allow it to become a thing.

I need to go buy an antenna. I have Direct streaming and don't get the games.
