Gorgeous play by the Pelicans.

Going down to the wire. It'll be interesting to see how the Raptors play it.

What an annoying game.

Nurse pisses me off how long it takes him to call a timeout. He waits for an 11-2 run to do so?

No. You just proved my point. Scottie should develop a shot so he can do something when he doesn't have the ball in his hands

So we should develop Scottie and stop developing OG and just tell him to stand in the corner?

I don't even knowxwhat you're talkingvabout at this point. He can develop in the off season. If he's better than siakam Barnes or fvv at ball handling or creation he can take over. Or if you trade one one them as it stands he doesn't need to handle the ball in the same lineup with them

How is is going to take over when accoridng to you, he should just stand in the corner and shut up?

Pels started 1-12 and have gone 13-13 since. first year coach. took a bit of time to get themselves together but this team is well coached and plays smart. not a pushover team. but we still better win.

It's called developing our players in development year. We have enough shooting/scoring in the starting lineup so should we tell Scottie to stop shooting the ball?

Asking OG to just stand in the corner and shoot 3s is a waste of his talent.

We are trying to win games.

The best way to do this is to stagger OG/Scottie with PAscal FVV cause OG and Scottie are not on their levels and will always have to take a back seat for the sake of trying to win games when they all play togeher

Why do people care about winning games so much in a rebuilding season? Winning a few games is fine but the priority should be about developing our players and seeing what we have.

Does getting beat in the first or second round this year really make you happy?

Who isn't developing?

So now we're arguing whether or notvwe should tank. Because if we're tanking I 100% agree with you. Do whYebrr the **** you want

Thay being said I also care about playing good team basketball. Having 5 different ball handles just doesn't make sense. It really doesn't. You don't win basketball games with all 5 guys taking turns handling the ball. I mean tole definition is just a fundamental aspect of good basketball. Also playing to each players strengths is also a fundamental aspect of team basketball

Everyone 4alkw about development as if fhos is nba 2k. Nor every player is good enough to be a star. It's weird how everyone thinks everyone is gonna turn into kawhi if he just keeps developing

Because the point of playing the game is to win. The kids can develop all they want in the G league or offseason. When theyre in front of the bright lights with other big dogs we play to win. They are getting paid 10s of millions on prime time TV in front of millions of audience. There is a culture here, we aint trying to be losers, if you want to watch kids develop while losing every game go watch OKC or Rockets

I keep going back to the breakaway turnover by Precious and the 2 on 1 turnover by Svi.

According to Boogie, only certain players should be developed.
