Pels have been using JV extensively and their guard play hasn't been consistent. Ingram is back, he injured his hip on a fall so he might be a little rusty but it's good to see him available again.

Dort is really solid this season. His game improved a bit.

Plenty of learnings from that last quarter - brutal.

Mann showed a few things tonight.

I hate that they are winning but if it comes from playing SGA/Giddey/Mann/Baze/JRE/Dort/etc….then I’m good with it.

Yeah, they're developing. Gonna lose plenty and its a lottery with severely flattened odds. Glad the young guys are showing things, they're not going to be epic-ally bad and magically become good.

Edit: Still think they lose plenty, they're just not unwatchable, they're kinda regular run of the mill bad. 2 Lakers wins and 2 against some undermanned teams. And guys showing development a bit it seems too.

Yeah those last few minutes were a hard watch. Too many turnovers and some moments of carelessness. On the broadcast Fisher even pointed out a moment where Giddey just let an OKC miss slowly go out of bounds without trying to make a play to keep the possession. Hope they're deep into film on this one.

Pelicans are a consortium of clowns. 5 technicals in the first half. Don't think anyone on that team likes one another.

That one was odd - I think the angle it came off the ring fooled him, like he thought it had come off a Pelican hand.

It was like they were playing on ice down the stretch. NO were really pressing whoever had the ball and the handler seemed to lose footing a lot while trying to change direction. It even happened to Dort before he got that get out of jail foul on the three.
