Larry Nance Jr is like Mo Wagner for the Pelicans, except he can play defense. Skilled hustle player.

I thought Valanciunas played great tonight. Ingram has been superb

Yeah... guys you qould pick at 12 are who you could also pick at 20. Its a weak draft so no worries aboutbwhere we will be at.

Assuming we even use our pick

Bulls are injuried as well ,3 starters out for majority of a year ( or whole year) + Caruso was clread to play hours before a game.

Never thought Bulls had a chance of winning even without Jimmy Butler.

It really sucks that both Heat and Pelicans had their best players injured in the play-in games. I really thought both Celtics/Heat and Thunder/Pelicans wouldve been good competitive series especially for a 1 vs 8 seed.

Just go watch the games. You shouldnt be that upset about the game today. Future is bright. We are ahead of schedule in our development, and have a lot of avenues to improve.

Cmon man... let's be real. Deep down we know we will be lucky to win 1 game in the POs. We all should expect that. We got 22 year old PO virgins carrying this team.

We are just luck we have been invited to the college girls dorm room this time around. Pop our cherries quick and do better next season.

After that, its time to enjoy who of the league will break out and ascend to legendary status. Ant is a big candidate.

Hope Embiid is okay.

But would be funny if we somehow came back against the Cavs only for them to lose while the Knicks take on an Embiid-less Sixers.

I cant believe ESPN just decided to get rid of Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson (say what you want about them, but their broadcast was elite)
