Some guy I’ve never heard of in the game before Diamond Powell.

I can’t watch atm but 9-0 to start isn’t good. Maybe the espn app is wrong? The starting lineup was supposed to be the problem…

They’re getting WAY better shots, way more easily. They’re not going in, sadly.

[KillerLeft]

Thompson looks way better tonight with the bench group, so far. I’m pretty surprised that he was the odd man out of the starting group, but I can’t say I don’t like it.

[KillerLeft]

Flagg is so great in transition!

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

Wooooo Flagg alley oop

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

I wish they would use Flagg as the screen setter.

[KillerLeft]

More turnovers. And honestly, most of them are unforced. Just sloppy, like weird rhythm is the issue.

[KillerLeft]

Flagg passed up a good wing 3 on that last possession.

[Deebo]

Looking like another loss this season is quickly approaching tank mode

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

Flagg passes on a wide open 3.

[Deebo]

Flagg passes on a wide open 3.

He’s way too passive.

[KillerLeft]

It was a pathetically bad example of missing wide open shots, but I enjoyed that quarter more than the first few games. They’re running, the ball is moving with intent, etc.

[KillerLeft]

The DHO sets don’t work as well with Gafford. No defender will come within 7 ft of him, and he keeps getting stuck with the ball.

[Deebo]

Gafford has been awful. Naji needs be traded

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

No PG lineup is back. Half court offense grinds to a halt.

[Deebo]

This is neither a good team nor a fun team complete disaster

[SwisherPrice]

The Pelicans are not scared of us

[KillerLeft]

Thank God for PJW is all I can say.

[KillerLeft]

That was the first Russell stint of the season I didn’t like.

[KillerLeft]

Thank God for PJW is all I can say.
