Okay. I've watched every game as I do each season. You can call it bias if you wish, but your sample size is pretty small to make such a blanket assertion.

I mean 20% of another teams games are a good bit imo. I'm using the games I've watched plus the facts which are the stats. I think it's a pretty good barometer.
Fair enough.

Players like Zion and Ben are just pathetic ppl...........seeing your teammates put it on the line, play their hearts out.........and youre worried about what youre gonna wear or eat.......you can tell some type of players will be winners or losers early

Didn't he get across before the clock was showing 15? Looked like he got across with it still showing 16, not sure that should have been an 8 second


Once again… refs count and shot clock can be different. Technically they should be the same but it doesn’t always work like that

That seems like a problem, lol

Yeah that plus stats is more than enough to draw the correct conclusion.

CP3 swinging his arms into the defenders arm and getting the call…

One of the ugliest plays in basketball.

Terrible. Should be a no call.

A bad BI game and bad CJ game and somehow this is a single digit game.

Not sure, but don't leave it up to the refs especially when earlier you helped CP3 with double screens and now when he's more tired and there's more pressure he's left alone.

New Orleans had plenty of opportunities down the stretch, just couldn't continue to chip away at the lead.

BI didnt help. He was horrible all 4th quarter. Pels arent going to win when both CJ and BI have bad games.

Agree. Between putting Crowder back on Ingram and not screening Alvarado in the backcourt for CP3, Monty's coaching has been suspect the last few minutes.


Ya not sure why they aren't screening consistently in the backcourt. Or just passing the ball up.. that last 8 sec call was ridiculous bridges was open for a pass up.

Crowder has done ok on Ingram and he's too slow for CJ. So him on crowder and bridges on CJ works better

Really sucks to see Jae and Payne in foul trouble when they both finally hit a couple jumpers
