There's that last minute tank move we needed.

Suns win, Lakers lose & Ingram didn't suck. Not a bad day.

At least these losses give us insurance if we want to show up and play the Suns.

Pelicans finish off the game on a 8-0 run and the Laker tank carries on with a 7-game losing streak. 25 Laker turnovers tonight was the key.

Only 19 more losses needed to polish off yet another turd of a season.

Can you believe we've only won 9 games since our 10-10 start? lmao

With how crappy this team is, it's very believable. Sad, but believable lol.

Hell, I think being 7-5 in the first 12 games of the season was our championship :rofl:

I didn't mind D-Lo's game. He had so many wide open jumpers in that third quarter that he missed. And it says a lot about him that he can miss a bunch of wide open shots and come back and some big shots down the stretch. I liked that he kept on shooting instead of resorting to pass only mode how he did in early February.

Yeah...I don't think D-Lo lost us this game. He hit some big shots at end (missed a couple too, it should be noted). But with 7-20 shooting...2-11 3pt shooting, 6 turnovers.....the guy certainly played a roll.

I wanna complete the tank, and then I hope this team goes back to the drawing board. Hopefully the summer will do miracles for our young guys....cause they need it. We're just a terrible team. Period.

What up with no Zubac? I didn't understand that one at all.

Hurt quad.

I did not see the game.
What was the overall?
No defense?

Nwaba played hard? I saw he got only 10min..

I hope he stays.

Ahh....well I hope he feels better.

Quick overview: The Pelicans finally got Boogie and Davis grooving. Like 58-points, 23-24 rebounds between them. Our D was ok. Basically...we fell behind....had a good 16-point run, and took a small lead. Slowly lost it...fell behind again...had like a 10-0 run, and tied it...and then fell behind to lose.

25 turnovers. Huge part. I thought alot of the Lakers did fine. Nobody was close to "Spectacular". The usual.

I was at the game.
Nice comeback.
Ingram played aggressively. Loved his overall mindset.
DLo had a bad 3rd Q but was a big factor late and got us back in the game, then made some terrible decisions at the end.

Overall entertaining game.
Always hurts to lose.
But I liked the fight at the end.

Yup!! I bet if we didnt go ninja tanking then we might have pulled this one out.

As for BI, I think he has been aggressive the last month and especially the last 5 games or so. The Celtic game was an aberration. He looked okay but I think the fouls and ball flow wasnt getting to him like Luke said.

3/5 (NO) - 39 min, 7-13 FG, 16 points
3/3 (Cs) - 26 min, 0-2 fg, 0 points but 5 fouls
2/28 (CHA) - 42 min, 3-10 fg, 8 points
2/26 (SA) - 35 min, 10-15 fg, 22 points
2/24 (OK) - 39 min, 4-12 FG, 11 points

Other than the C game, he played a minimum of 35 minutes so you would have to think the foul trouble got to him and he was less aggressive in the second half. In the other 4 games, he went for 16, 8, 22 and 11 points while taking at least 10 shots.

One note on BI, Walton says BI is always on the courts and practicing to improve his game. BI also said he will work with Kobe over the summer so I think he could take a huge jump next year with his tenacity and focus on basketball.
