I honestly dunno who to give the VC to. Tatum and White were huge in the 4th. But JB and Jrue kept us in it for most part.

Tatum let everyone else cook through 3, was content rebounding, passing, and turning it over. The 4th was special stuff though, on both ends.

Jaylen wisely throws the ball off a Pelicans player to avoid getting fouled and getting sent to the line.

This is what I want to see from JT come playoff time. Be aggressive, if they double find the open man. On repeat over and over.

Sorry. I think that is horrible offense. Nobody touching the ball until 7 seconds left. That's how they implode in the playoffs in close games. People just standing around. I'm praying KP changes that.

White! Those back to back shots by him were huge.

Anytime Scal says goodnight after a basket the other team is guaranteed to go on a 5-0 run! :nonono:

Clippers are on a different universe from the Pelicans. If Zion wasn’t a fat **** who doesn’t have the fitness to dominate for big minutes we prob would have lost today. Dude was having his way with us until the cheeseburgers kicked in..

The time is working against the Pelicans. That means they are forced to send a hard double, which will naturally create open shots. You can't just ignore context and think ISO is bad and running the clock down is bad all the time. Not how it works.

About the same. Just made more in the 2nd half. But I thought pushing it in transition in the the 3rd gave us life. We couldn't get anything in the halfcourt in the 1st half.

No matter who's on this team. We always do dumb things like this.

What an unhealthy obsession you have with this man, dude. See somebody about this.
