I see a lot of posts about in game and post game reactions in the season expectations thread. At this point, I think it's better to put our collective thoughts here!

Next up: @ Atlanta on Saturday 11/7

Great idea!

Yes it's been a rough start, and compared to a lot of teams we've been fortunate as far as health and vibes go. Let's cheer on the small victories in this chat, as we slog thru the season together!

Did he get hurt? I missed this game, but the box score is only showing him around 20 minutes...

Well, I looked down at my phone at one point yesterday and see something like a 35-57 score v. the Mavs and say oh well.

This team is getting borderline unwatchable. I'm just happy my 9 year old daughter is actually taking an interest in basketball and wants to watch games with me now!

Anyone watch? What was the consensus? No Mikel either huh... still doing hand holding and minutes restrictions?

I saw Jordi getting RIPPED online after the end of the Pacers game, where he didn't play Traore after the 3 minute mark of the 3rd quarter... while he was having an excellent game.

Jordi went with Brown in the forth quarter. Brown did well but we didn't look the same out there.Im still a little irked we threw that game away. Credit to the Hawks they outplayed in the end.

Jordi probably thinks the Brown - Traore may be redundant together.

just the pelicans but they've played bad teams plenty of times in post-KD era and i cant remember many team wide performances as good as yesterday. Demin looked pretty good in his first game back and Terrance Mann somehow looked really good as backup pg.

Wolf and Sharpe appear to be making real progress in the front court and Wagner is a nice rotation piece. I have been ready to move on from Clowney for a while but he bounced back and had one of the better games ive seen from him.

MPJ and Randle appear very clearly to be placeholders but they contribute steady production.

up to 3-8 but should be 5-6. hopefully traore and mbj back soon.
