Pelicans have one of the worst defenses in the league but this squad is playing some good d. Shows you how bad guys like Zion, Ingram, and Adams are on defense

Melo has been pretty awful down the stretch here. Good learning experience.

Monk has really disappointed me tonight and since he has returned. I really think we would have been better off having McDaniels in the game more for his length and size.

I don’t think Hayes has sat this half. He has just completely dominated us. This game tells the story of our season in one play. No center equals hard to win.

Not sure if you’ve been watching the whole game or not, but he was on fire until he hurt his wrist again.

In addition to everything else we didn't manage to convert any of those set plays after timeouts late in the game. That's usually a strength.

Good job Borrego. What a joke.

Well he’s good against us. He’s not good against teams who have actual big men.

Willy 9 points 16 rebounds 2 steals 1 block
Hayes 18 points 8 rebounds 1 steal 6 blocks

Willy Hernangomez of all people is dominating us on the boards!

Biz gets a donut in 25.5 minutes of game time and has the hand/eye coordination of a toddler. FML Biz isn't even a G League player. Get him the F off this roster.

On one hand I totally understand JB struggling to deal with mismatches in the paint. On the other hand, I don’t understand how you feel like your odds are better with Biz playing meaningful minutes and not playing Vern when you really just need a coordinated big body.

I like Monk and all but why the hell did JB just abandon McD in favor of Monk here?? The one time he overplays Monk is the most blatant time to not do so??? Explain that...

God damn it what an atrocious loss.

This was a bad one but we’ve had about 5 of those the past few weeks. Now we get to watch them be owned by Joker, Kawhi and PG13. After that? The Knicks and Wiz with plenty to play for.

I’m really beginning to think we’re gonna lose out and miss the play-in.

Bulls win the last four, we lose the last four and we go home 11th having been top-10 every day of the season except the end.

What’s worse, backing into the play in on a 5 game losing streak or just missing it all together?
