What a goddamn swat of JV by SGA. Straight out of the D Wade playbook. Then follows it up with two drives to nowhere on the other end, of course.

Bigs like Jonas and Nurk have no place in playoffs. They are just empty calories that become unplayable

BI isn’t going to be with the pelicans next season. Dort has destroyed his confidence.

Ingram doesn't have the athleticism to create any separation.

an atrocious game from sga. he's the only guy on defense getting lost and on offense he's declining every screen and just trying to make difficult shots over all the long defensive players NOP has while they wall him off from the rim. he's had a few games like this against this team (including one in this series). real disappointing; hopefully not a portent of things to come against tougher playoff competition.
