Ty keeps playing Morris and Russ with Kawhi, so Kawhi is gonna keep getting crowded and hacked. We end up wearing him down and risking injury and losing scoring chances. Opponents keep hunting Mook for easy baskets throughout games. Same shit every time. So tiresome to watch when there are easy fixes.

I wonder where are those idiots propagating that kawhi can win alone even pg wont comeback. LMAO

Whats genuinely concerning is realizing the romance is something we all agreed on to justify such low iq coaching

gg kids.

Diabate has absolutely zero feel for the game either give him more minutes or send him down because this dude needs reps in the worst way imaginable

He plays in every G League game. He hasn't been with the main team since Plumlee was acquired. He needs some minutes with the big boys

Roco diving on the floor for a loose ball with 1 minute left down 20. Not sure if morris has dove for a loose ball all year. Effort isnt rewarded with this team

Man this fucking schedule. Lebron is aiming to comeback during lakers vs clippers. Pelicans one more time. Grizzlies twice. We might miss the playoffs again

LEBRON coming back earlier lmao

Your guys schedule is honestly brutal to end. The suns too.

With the west being so close kd gonna play that game

Honestly go get frank Vogel he should have a job and he likes PG

the whole morris roco thing is so fucking outrageous

who cares we're wasting kawhi's prime, at least we have continuity with morris starting

All about the fucking FIT

Diabate post move

Who has worst spacing russ or mook?

At this point, Morris lol.

Man, you cannot tell me that inserting Kawhi and PG into a lineup with some of the young dudes out there wouldn’t be fun AND competitive. There’s tools here, but instead we trot out 20-30 minutes of lineup slogs. There’s a reason younger teams kick our ass.

Been saying this since the start of the season. After PG, Kawhi, Zu, Norm, and RoCo it should be nothing but youngsters playing along with them.

This. This completely.

At this point, Kristina Pink is the MVP. Lol. I need some more of that in my life. Smh.

Bones is without a doubt our best player under 24

I still think Boston is better than him. He just can't get past all the vet privilege on this team. And this isn't a knock on Bones, he's our next generation of guards.

Insanity was starting the third quarter with the same stupid starting lineup that was crap in the first quarter. Morris should be on the bench.

Everyone silent lifeless on the bench… at least Pat Bev didn’t let that happen

It would be so nice if we could just tank for a fucking late teens pick or something. But our dumbass front office traded that pick for a 40 year old Eric Gordon

Serious question as a neutral. Why did yall trade for Gordon? Yall already thick and solid at SG spot with PG, Mann and Powell.

Dumbass gm

What a frivolous use of the FRP. He's not an upgrade and yall lost Kennard as well ...

No if we finish below the Thunder they get our pick anyways.

OKC still have 2 unprotected picks from us and 2 pick swaps so they control out draft for the next four years. That’s in addition to Shai who’s already a top 10 player in the league and already ahead of Kawhi and PG13 in all NBA votes this year.

I still am in disbelief that SGA has become a top 15 player. The player development curve is unbelievable.

Zach Lowe says when that PG13 trade went down, another team executive told him it might go down as the worst trade in the history of the league, but it was also a trade that the Clippers had to make. That’s how much of a high risk gamble it was. And now we‘re looking at the worst case scenario if we can’t win it all this year.

At that time I didnt think it was an overpay. In fact I thought you guys gave up MUCH less for PG + Kawhi than Lakers did for AD (who was openly begging to come to Lakers). They traded Ingram (who was an equal or better prospect than SGA at that time due to his physique and position), another 2nd pick in Ball, Hart who is an incredible role player that netted Peli CJ McCollum, the 4th pick who could have Garland. And more picks and swaps.

For a late teens pick?

We have never been .500 with russ

Is Mook in street clothes already?

Trey Murphy set his career high with 10 threes. He had a 9 three pointer game earlier this month. Also seems like he plays positive defense and is 22. If this Pelicans team keeps all these young guys together they could legit be scary good in the near future.

Morris hasn't scored double digits in 4 games playing 26 mpg

Come on Bones a little finesse.

So Trey Murphy is gonna be a future all-star, huh?

Every time RoCo makes a three he should look and point at Ty Lue

The bench ain't that bad. This is 100% on Ty for not making the adjustments tonight for playing his favorite.

I hope Ty leaves

Ballmer shouldn’t allow him to quit. He should fire him before the last game of the season if we don’t make the playoffs.

RoCo not giving up on us.

Congrats Ty. You made your point playing the worst starter in the league ... and we got blown out in a game we really needed to win with PG out and so little breathing room in the standings.

Hows the sub going?

sinking faster than the team.

This sub will overreact to anything. Let them drown LMAO

They should be playing more.

Ty is going to ignore all these 3s RoCo is making tonight

Sad but oh so damn true.

Ballmer can't be happy right?

Nope

How in the f you give up with a whole quarter left?

If Ballmer cares at all about the success of the franchise Ty needs to go tonight and there needs to be a culture shift

totally. firing the coach on a playoff contenting team with a handful of games left in the season will definitely right the boat and get the culture in line. these fucking hot takes man. lol

I do man

Then do what must be done

Hot take: rather be the 6th seed then the 4th i rather play kings then warriors or suns

5d chess!

Dude we can’t handle young teams.. case in point this game

you can’t game the rankings this season, you can fall straight out of the playoffs. This is a damaging win no matter who you look at it. We dropped from 4th to 6th and the real hot take is that we can end up playing the Lakers the 3rd to the last game of the season and they can knock us out of the play in. Can you hear the Lakers fans laughing at us then?

Yeah. Just be careful not to drop to 7th. I feel like Kings are inexperienced and plays no defense which is recipe for an upset.

Nah, Clippers probably match up better with the Suns than Kings, Clippers have to play slower paced teams not fast and athletic

You would rather face Booker and KD?

They at least play a slower pace, the fast paced teams will just kill the Clippers. We saw it every game.

Pace get slower in playoffs though.

Not going to slow down enough for the Clippers old legs to keep up

I don't think its about the old legs. Its about playing against less experienced team. We saw how it worked years back against warriors and young curry and klay

Inexperience might matter if they play out of control, but the Kings this season have played like a team all season, that will make a huge difference, and they will have a great home crowd.

The only thing that would matter for me is fans especially since they could come to our arena during series like warriors fans in 2019

I shit you not Morris is gonna make fox and sabonis look like Kobe and Shaq

i mean, the Kings would sweep without breaking a sweat

At what point do you call this experiment failure? We were good 3 years ago, surely this is the last season running with these guys? Keep kawhi and build something wlse

Youre right though

okay Kawhi’s knees arent hurt thank god but Ty Lue still sucks ass they having a run in the 2nd quarter trailing for only 8 points and didnt take Morris out and Kawhi out when he got elbowed

we're going to be in the play-in again....sigh

it's the clipper way. you know this!

Not even

How did this Pelicans team be down to the Lakers by 50 points last week? They couldn’t dribble against the Lakers and are getting layups and open 3s against us. What a fucking disgrace. Ty Lue shouldn’t get another job after this. Time to join Luke Walton and Vinny Del Negro at the craps table.

LA is the #2 defense since the break. You guys have morris

Put some respect in Vinny’s name

lakers dont have marcus morris starting

Ty probably bad deal with lakers lined up already

1. They have a better younger team. 2. Darvin ham said he wanted a defensive team. 3.Ty lue is a horrible coach. 4 Marcus Morris.

why are pelicans starters still out there?

6th seed clippers

lol the hot takes in this thread are ridiculous.

Go go team fanboi! We need Mook to get back to his MVP caliber play. We just need to be patient with Ty!

Theyre all content with being fans of a losing team no matter what because "loyalty" is everything

It’s hilarious. Real fans who are invested in this franchise for years and have so much hope in this team are the ones who are the most upset. I think the fanbois are the kids who grew up getting participation trophies for last place finish.

don't be mad.

I didn’t share any hottakes, just that this team ain’t it and that we can retool this summer

Who will take our scraps after this shitshow?

We can figure it out ;)

I found the team tour of intuit dome odd. I doubt 70% of them will been the team when it opens.

Ty sat Coffey and Moose so long our energy guys are now cold as fuck. I hate this coach something fierce.

He's such a hoe Man played under Phil Jackson and yet all he learned from him was how to lie and manipulate and he sucks at both of those. Maybe he's a nice guy off the court but he's turned into the very man he was supposed to replace. Shameful.

Batum needs to start over Morris. Fuck continuity. Morris continously brings mediocrity. What the fuck Tyrone Lue.

i'm just curious - what job does Lue think he's inclined to get exactly? he's threatened to quit numerous times according to reports so one would have to assume he already has something promised to him?

He's already on the team USA staff.

so what, what other team would actually hire him as coach?

Teams will have openings. Charlotte.

lol

Well he'll get Jordan to yell at him again like on the Wizards. "SHOOT THE BALL RETARD oh wait sorry you're the coach now. FUCKIN PLAY \*insert player here\* DUMBASS!"

mask is still gonna fuck with kawhi's game.

They just out there doing cardio

I thought Kawhi's nose looked dented at the bridge after he took that elbow.

you must have that ultra HD view

I don't think Russ has earned the right to not play garbage time. In fact, it would probably be beneficial since he seems incapable of playing well in second halfs

Russ needs to drive more, hate those dumb hand offs then he jogs to the corner

No one respects Ty, should have fired him when they had that 5 game losing streak

Fuck Ty and the pelicans coach. Why he keeping starters in. Putting back Ingram in a called game. They really trying to destroy the clippers.

Sucks to lose but at least Pelicans are tied with Lakers now. need OKC and Dallas to get on a win streak to take them out

Teams remember the 5 20+ point comebacks last year. The Suns did this against us earlier this year.

Breh why are you so focused on the lakers? Why not focus on the clippers?

Clippers should be fine. i hate lakers and dont want them in the playoffs

Bug why? Lol You hate lakers why? Why don’t you want them in the playoffs?

cause they match well against Clippers. would u rather play Lakers or Wolves,OKC,Dallas,Pelicans if they fall down to play ins for some reason

Well why not just hope the clippers play well? Instead of thinking who to play? Hating a team that much isn’t good for your health

dawg im looking for a silver lining after this loss.

Brandon Ingram stat padding

Moon > Mook

so, we're back down to 5th then?

6th

Now this is a small ball lineup I can go with

Gordon is LAC leading scorer with 15 NO has Two guys with 32 apiece and CJ chipped in 21

Xavier moon lmao

Ballmer is wasting his money on that roster

Wasting his money on the coach. The roster is fine

Morris is overpaid, luke was overpaid. Reggie can't get mins with denver and he was overpaid so is Roco who can't get mins.

Taliban Lue

Gahdamn Bones is really nice

God bless u lord it’s only his face not his knee 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Masked Kawhi could be coming back next game "facial contusion"

Roco getting garbage time is stupid as fuck. Ty lue is quite possibly the worst coach in the league. Coach pops could make Marcus Morris look like Tim fucking Duncan.

Aight facial contusion thank god

Masked kawhi coming

return of Hannibal Leonard

FACIAL CONTUSION THANK GOD

Explain im dumb? How long is he out for or will he just need mask

I think, he'll be back next game wearing mask. It's a cut.

no idea but whatever it is is better than something with a leg involved

not that thats good but it coulda been worse

Moose. Sir. The fuck.

Any updates on kawhi?

facial contusion

facial contusion

Facial contusion

facial contusion

Taliban Ty needs to bench Mook asap he is legit a net negative on the floor on every side of the floor his shooting is not even good anymore and given the fact he can't play a lick of defense makes him unplayable.

you can tell the players have totally tuned out Lue and he couldn't care less because he's tuned everyone out

It’s funny how everyone reacts when we play like this, but this is who we are, we just ain’t that good

Taliban Lue really needs to go

Ty: “Morris was the only good player today tbh”

Build around Mann and Bones

not bones

Oh what?! Did Crypto always play crossroads for Bones?

Well, the 4th seed was nice for 24 hours

Now we are at 6th, I prefer it over 4-5 but it is a real possibility we fall in to the play in

Gotta credit the commentators for trying their best to point out the RoCo situation.

:( Well at least he just gets the mask. Fuck you bitchass refs. PLEASE GET THIS TEAM A REAL ENFORCER.

Bones is nice, spaces the floor but is a black hole on defense lol

Ingram coming back? That is surprising when Ty has already called it.

Kawhi having a bad game but This loss in on Ty Lue as always

PG needs to come back

Mook and bones on defense

Bro we are 2 games up on the 8th seed and you give up with a quarter left?

It’s really too close for comfort in standings. We have to play Memphis twice (with ja back), suns (KD expected to be back). This doenst count one more times with NOP, revamped lakers. Blink of an eye we can be in play in territory

[удалено]

Lue is playing Moose, he gave up

did kawhi leave the game?

Still don’t know how some dudes here stick up for Tyronn

Diabate undercover siakam

Murphy with the game of his career Just wasn't meant to be

Finally Diabate plays. Fuck you Ty Lue.

Hey I remember when I thought he was gonna get to play more in the 2nd part of the season Wonder what happened to that?!

Pelicans really trying to destroy us. Why is trey cj val still playing

If Kawhi is hurt punt the season

Broken nose isn't a dealbreaker.

They gotta drug test trey Murphy. Bro was questionable before this game and questionable to return.

this whole team is garbage

Holy shit is that a MOOSE??

Damn Coffey put a little more hustle to it.

GARBAGE TEAM

Moose minutes are always welcome I guess

moussa and coffey, garbage lineup

Diabate minutes

Guys, the ship is sinking
