Unbelievable 4th quarter

Terrible rotations on defense and lazy offense. Should be able to eek this out still, but very discouraging :banghead:

Oh good a Westbrook three point shot early in the shot clock.

No Russ, it wasn’t a foul. Your ball handking just sucks.

Didn't watch, but the looks of it we had a horrible 4th quarter. Let a 16 point lead after three quarters turn into a close game in the 4th against the Pelicans without AD, Randle, or Moore.

What happened in the 4th?

Team was gassed. Glad they won. Gives us some breathing room against the Bucks.

An ugly win is far better than a bad loss.

3rd game in 4 days as well

What an absolutely arrogant performance by this team. We should have one by twenty with the starters not playing the fourth. When our offense improves, we quit playing defense. Adams scores 18 first half points so what do we do? We completely forget about him. I’m glad they didn’t mess around and lose this but it might have been for the best if they had. You won’t play well every game but play with some freaking maturity like a veteran team.

The pelicans were on the second night of a back to back. We were not.

Tbh Jrue just had one of those moments. Our offense bogged down a bit but he blew past PG and had a great finish under Adams, he hit a tough step back three, he hit another three with ferg's hand right in his face. That, and we missed like 4/5 free throws.

:roll: not everything is the end of the world, and there was no indication of an arrogant performance by anyone except maybe PG.

3 in 4 is probably tougher than segababa

PG misses 2 FTs shows how tired this team was.

Also hello 2Pat. Making a backup PF need obsolete as we move towards trade deadline

That has no bearing on you overreaction to this game.

Then you probably shouldn’t use then word “everything” if you really mean some things. If you’re satisfied with squeeking out a win against the twelfth team in the west who was missing four key players while being on the second night of a back to back (also their 3rd game in 5 days), then that’s your right. That’s a pretty low bar, in my opinion. To each his own.

I was actually surprised we won. Think the Pelicans should have rested Holiday to get the win..
