Talent wise Pelicans should absolutely win this game even without Ingram but i think this is one of those games where everything goes wrong. I hope i'm wrong but if i was betting man i would bet on the Lakers.
Ingram OUT, Herb questionable, Dyson Probable.
AD and JTA questionable.
As i said.... lost an already won game. And this one hurts a lot since its against Lakers....

Re: Wednesday 11/2 NBA Game Thread
Patrick Beverly's stat line does not look great, but he truly did effect the outcome of that game. I'll give him that.

CJ looked good before Bev got put on him. He was getting to wherever he wanted.
Love the Pat Bev pickup.

Dyson Daniels balling out in clutch moments just like his fellow aussie Ben Simmons.

One one hand, great win for the Lakers to get back on their feet. On the other, they had no business choking that lead to a Ingram/Herb less Pelicans team and should thank the stars the Pelicans did everything in their power to lose that game at the end.

Our 3Q woes are predictable. Everybody knew it was coming.

Imo he's our most important player on defense. He's the only perimeter defender who'll make it tough on opposing PG's.
AD is of course the anchor but if we dont have someone that'll at least slow opposing PG's down it wont matter.

Re: Wednesday 11/2 NBA Game Thread
For all the people that were telling me that I was wrong and CJ was going to stand down and be that 3rd option for this Pels team and let BI and Zion be the 2 main guys. CJ is #1 in touches, Time Per Possession, and FGAs. And its not just because BI and Zion have missed time. The last 3 games that CJ has played with Zion he has taken 17 more shots than Zion in that time span. And its not like CJ has been efficient in that time
Zion:
30-54
CJ:
31-71
CJ 1 more bucket while taking 17 more shots... Again to let it sink in, CJ has taken 17 more shots in the last 3 games than Zion. CJ also has a sub 50 TS% for the season now.

Cavs won tonight shooting 28% from 3. I don't think it's in that rare of territory.

I mean. Zion can only take very particular shots. Zion isn’t getting less shots or workload than he should right now. CJ taking too many shots isn’t really an issue right now until Zion expands his game more. Confirmation bias after a loss at its finest tbh.
CJ isn’t shooting the ball well right now, but he’s not stalling our offense or taking bad shots for him. Just a weird take to have when Zion is still feeling the process back out, and BI has been out. Zion is taking about as many shots as he possibly can with his shot profile. It’s not 2k.
I kinda just feel like you always want to be upset and negative about the Pelicans not being perfect, and it gets kinda tiresome.
Edit: we’re also 3rd on offense with BI and Zion both missing a bunch of our early games. Wow, such a problem!! Hope CJ doesn’t keep nuking our season.

Also there is no reason that Jose Alvarado shouldn’t play every single one of Devonte Graham’s minutes. He should be playing close to 30 mpg.
