January 29 2024 Pelicans visit the Jungle

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This pace would make a snail impatient

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Better.

 

[slamminsammya]

This pace would make a snail impatient

two timeouts in like three minutes of game time you gotta love if

 

[SteveF]

Pelicans are a team against whom I could see the 2-1-2 being somewhat effective with Zion and Valančiūnas on the floor.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Set a screen. Pass the ball. Do literally anything other than that.

 

[benhogan]

not taking many charges

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Check the phone logs.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

On a dime they stop going to the rim after showing it was working. So annoying.

 

[128]

Nice flop by McCollum.

 

[Red Averages]

It’s crazy how out of shape Zion is

 

[ifmanis5]

Nice steal and pass by Tatum.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Amazing pass ahead by Tatum. Slick.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

This is what, the one game a year Zion looks like an all-star?

 

[ifmanis5]

LOL, Scal screaming LETS GO!

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

Zion is beasting and feasting.

 

[128]

It’s crazy how out of shape Zion is

And yet he gets exactly where he wants in the paint, and finishes.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Dammit White, contain yourself.

 

[Helmet Head]

This is what, the one game a year Zion looks like an all-star?

To be fair, they aren’t even really guarding him

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

We needed the Pels to call timeout to stop us from a dumb heat check.

 

[SteveF]

This next stretch with Tatum on the bench will probably decide the game.

 

[The Mort Report]

And yet he gets exactly where he wants in the paint, and finishes.

I can't see his conditioning holding up well over the high energy of a playoff series

 

[Helmet Head]

I can't see his conditioning holding up well over the high energy of a playoff series

or even a game.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Where’s the T? We have like 20 Ts for less.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Back to missing free throws tonight I see.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Zion and Ingram are taking and making heat check shots. Maddening because the Cs are playing ok D

 

[chilidawg]

In the bonus early, keep attacking.

 

[ifmanis5]

Hauser for 33333!

 

[bigq]

Getting loud

 

[ifmanis5]

Crowd is in playoff form.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Willie Green send help quick!!!

 

[stp130]

Garden awake.

 

[Red Averages]

And yet he gets exactly where he wants in the paint, and finishes.

For now. Let’s see what happens in the 4th.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Pelicans are a team against whom I could see the 2-1-2 being somewhat effective with Zion and Valančiūnas on the floor.

Good call

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I've seen enough of Queta at the rim tonight

 

[Auger34]

This next stretch with Tatum on the bench will probably decide the game.

Not sure that’s the case tonight……and it’s 5-0 Celtics so far

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Love the way Jaylen is attacking from the halfcourt. No one’s faster in transition.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

The length of these reviews in the third quarter (e.g. not game-deciding calls) is just painful. And they get it wrong nearly half the time anyway

 

[SteveF]

I thought for sure that would be overturned given the reactions.

 

[Red Averages]

Nice long breather for Tatum

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

GOT NEEM!

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Point Queta!

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

That ATO play was Brad-like

 

[The Mort Report]

Queta seems to flash something tantalizing every time he gets extended minutes

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Jack a Three back in effect

 

[ifmanis5]

That replay review calmed the crowd.

 

[128]

NOLA has a ton of offense, and unlike the C's, it doesn't live and die by the 3.

 

[slamminsammya]

btw what happened to kornet last game?

 

[PedroKsBambino]

NOLA has a ton of offense, and unlike the C's, it doesn't live and die by the 3.

Yeah. one of the problems with getting three-happy is that if you are missing it lets bad defenses get away with being bad.

 

[128]

or even a game.

Let's talk shit when/if we win this game. Right now the Pels are rolling again.

 

[slamminsammya]

just a brutal three minute stretch
