Man down, 5 on 4. Let's shoot the 3.

3-0 is a death sentence already so the Pelicans should play with a sense of urgency from the get go… i think Pels will play some impressive defense today.

Damn, CJ is 0-5. He is in a hell of a slump.

JV on Giddey. This is probably how the Wolves or Nuggets will play them if they get there. Interesting subplot to watch.

I think playing opposite Shai highlights CJ's limitations and underwhelming overall talent.
He's the poor man's version of one small part of Shai's game.

Why are there so many empty seats, this is a playoff game. What is going on with New Orleans fans?

He's 0-7 to start the game. I can tell the game plan was to try and get him going, but this is not the way to do it.

Were in franchise purgatory, Ingram and CJ sucks, Zions injured, our gm is terrible, our owner is terrible. Now ask that question again
