I don't know? To me, we felt 30 points better than the Pelicans. I'm not sure we're going to gain much confidence from this win. But having Booker back is great. I just hope he measures his feet weekly from now on.


Nah man, clutch wins like this against any team is always fun and brings more confidence IMO.


I'm not so sure but what the heck, at least it was a win. A loss to these guys would have really hurt.

It's rare for me to not want to re-watch a game but I don't want to sit through that mess a second time. It's far too early to give up on Watson but if he can't see that Knight makes us worse, MUCH WORSE, than he's not just a bad coach, he's legally blind.

he is in a tough position, he has to play knight they promised him sixth man minutes for one thing, second thing we dont know what pressure the front office is putting on him to play. You already benched him if he played behind barbosa and a rookie his value goes down even further. That problem is on McD Watson doesnt have much of a choice

Credit to PJ though. He was great defensively in OT. If he could do that consistently I might go back to liking him.

Yeah, Pelicans just forgot they had AD in the clutch
But I think they waived him off very quickly tho, something is very wrong there.

Just look at AD's positioning in the TJ shot.
I dont think he's guarding no one by design

It was? I invented 41 new swear words.

It is ALWAYS difficult to win on the road, does not matter against who you play, it is just tough. A win on overtime is a very good feel to me.

Offensively we were good without Knight...with Knight everything is just ISO and TOs.
Watson is giving him an opportunity, but I think he is gonna dicrease his minutes if he continues to play this poorly.

Give credit to PJ for that. He was smothering AD all OT

FTFY.

I think PJ has been playing well since the Clippers game. I'm not expecting much from him offensively.

As bad as that was I was more frustrated by his lack of effort on D tonight. I know any win is a good win, especially on the road but watching us have to overcome Knight every time Watson sent him back in was especially difficult to take. Oh well, on to LA, a team that is a lot like us. I doubt they'll hang on to their 19 point lead against the Warriors but it shows how dangerous that team can be when you underestimate them.

We finally shot well from the line. We were shooting 90% until Bledsoe's two misses at the end. If the Pel's had shot that well or we shoot worse, we lose that game. Great to see Booker with that swagger.

Great to see Booker find his stroke again and his big time shots late show how much confidence/swagger he has.

We really do need to find a taker for Knight, wonder if the Pelicans would take him and I would almost be fine with anyone not named Lance Stephenson.

We are 2-0 without him, so obviously he's the reason we were losing before!

I'm really sick of the league **** on us.

My god, the refs were so one sided tonight. We got no calls on contact at the basket and they got every phantom call everytime. That PJ foul on AD was absurd.

I'm shocked they didn't throw Booker out for the AD flop.

I'm sure that once we get another win or two, watson will start playing the rooks more. He's just trying to gain some wiggle room
