Un-f***ing-believable.

I don't care that it was the second night of a back-to-back. The Pelicans roster without Cousins is AD carrying a very mediocre, dare I say bad, supporting cast. They just came into the Peake and beat us by 14. We got outscored 92-68 over the final three quarters of the game.

We suck. We suck so bad. This is October/November level of ineptitude.

i've noticed a lot of opponents this season playing way, way off russell westbrook on offense. unusually far back. almost like he's rondo.

Stopped really being too stressed after losses a while ago. Meh.

Y'all got an angry Pelicans off 2 striaght losses after an exausted b2b on the road at mile high nuggets. I wouldn't be too beat up.

Get rested, get a Sg, have an assistant take over for billy.

Why can’t the thunder be angry after two straight losses?

too sleepy.

It’s games like this where I imagine that Sam pulls off the biggest coup imaginable at the deadline. Then I realize that it still wouldn’t be enough.

Doesn't matter who we get with this garbage coach. Even if they made a positive impact, Dumbo would give him the Taj treatment.

Why did they let him go? Didn’t they have BR?

Can’t get these games back

Basically they were choosing between him and Dre. He said after the end of the season that he wanted to come back. He signed with Minnesota pretty quickly. I’m not sure if Sam told him no or thibs called him quickly.

Gotcha. Was the tax a concern?

I watched 0 seconds of this game. They suckered me back til Dre got hurt. If they pull a great trade maybe I think they're more than a first round out, but for now the only reason I feel OK they make the playoffs is because I think LAC tanks a little.

It’s interesting how our defense was the laughing stock of the nba last night and today. You had Steven adams making highlight reals because Murray and Harris were breaking his ankles and making step back threes. Then of course was russ’ lapse. Yet we continue to switch at every possible opportunity. Do you think there is any capable guard in the league that isn’t thrilled to have a big man guarding him 25-30 feet from the basket?

so are we back to where Adams is the only player performing to roughly his true potential?

Don't think so. I think Patterson at 5 or 6/year was just way better at the time than Taj at 14.

I’m guessing they didn’t want to invest too much in a team that didn’t have a second star. That was a mistake.
