This is objectively false.

It's objectively true. None of those lines outside of making 20+ threes say they are undefeated. Which is difficult to do in the first place. They shot MORE threes than OKC (36 to 33) in game 2 and still lost by 14. They shot MORE threes than Phoenix in game 2 (42 to 41) and still lost by 14. They only shot 2 fewer threes than the Lakers in game 3 (29 - 31) and still lost by 17. They shot MORE threes than Miami at home (32 - 29) and still lost by 11.

Those stats look nice and easy but they are dubious. Simply outshooting your opponent from 3, especially against the good teams, doesn't guarantee victory. Stopping the dumb turnovers and executing on both ends does.

I was obviously joking. I'm sorry

Why don’t you call me a falcon fan while you’re at it

Great win!

Pels are tied for the best road record in the NBA and are fighting to stay out of the play in. smdh

If they played anywhere near as good at home as on the road, they would have one of the top 3 seeds.

As long we don't give him an extension. I'm perfectly fine with his existence on most night, but he won't ever win you championship.


If this team could ever get position to win one ... That's a different topic.

So you're ok with him leaving at the end of the season because I believe this is the final year in his contract.

(For the record, I'm ok with letting him walk. Too much inconsistency...)

Yep, the whole playing favorites and what he's done to Jordan Hawkins should be crime. The 0-21 stat and being really bad at home are just so glaring


I think he has a 3+1 deal.

If if were a fifth we would all be drunk

And for the record... these guys adore Willie. May not mean much in years past but this nba it is very important.

For me it depends on what they do in the playoffs.

I don't know why I watch ESPN. I'm watching First Take for any news on our game last night. They came back from commercial talking about how Zion and the Pelicans beat the Kings to increase their playoff chances. Then, without any transition in the segment, they pose the question "Who is the bigger playoff threat? The Warriors or the Lakers?".

 

[Dago]

You would think the Pels would have gotten a little more attention with this win....pretty sure I saw a graphic during the game that said a 5-0 in season sweep hadn't happened since the 90s

And in all seriousness Zeller deserves some props. He was running interference and setting some great screens for Zion

Exactly what Steven Adams did when SVG was here. You can create space without being a 3 point shooting big.
