Game #79: Clippers @ PELICANS—Saturday 4/1 5:30PM ON CHANNEL 5

[Max Headrom]

Ingram seems to have leveled up recently, turning into a difference maker for the Pels.

Also helps that he gets a ridiculous whistle. 29 fouls called on the Clippers and only 15 for the Pels. Couldn't even look in their direction without a whistle being blown

It was so bad that even kawhi complained about the officiating post-game

Yeah, Pels getting 15 free throws in the second quarter is the only thing that kept them in the game. It was ridiculous man. Stuff like that makes me not even want to watch games. NBA is WWE

Zion is coming back, Adam Silver is making sure they punch their ticket for the post season.

it's a miracle we were even in this at all
Ty did an incredible job with yet ANOTHER motley assortment of mismatched talent that has hardly played together
30th new starting lineup

between the injuries and load management and no real team leadership it's an impossible situation

3 new rotation players in Russ, Plumlee and Bones

teachers pets Batum, RoCo, and Mann had 12 points in 65 combined minutes
that's just NOT going to get it done

Pretty much sums up this whole era. I think it's becoming clear this isn't how you get it done.

Ballmerville is boxed in bigtime now


I remember somebody writing here

Terance Mann is the future.

That's unfortunately true.
25 minutes
6 points/ 4 rebs/ 3 assists
minus-13

RoCo and Nico are old and just gonna have on/off games. But yeah in an important game with PG out, we absolutely have to have more assertiveness from Terance. If he takes 12 shots and just isn’t hitting them or otherwise struggling, that’s fine. But he only took 6 shots.

Pelicans deserve all the credit for the win. They battled for all 48 minutes.

Clippers seems to get shut down in the 4th by clamping defense. Clippers did not help them selves either with all the turnovers.

A playoff seed has been in their control but they have been unpredictable all season will their play.

Pelicans definitely deserved to win.

For whatever reason, Ingram and JV play much better against the Clippers than any other opponent.

Reminiscent of Conley and Ingles
