A close one for sure, much better than last night. We got a few things to work on. Great game.

I know Pelicans fans want this bad but I dont see Griffin doing it..I think he gives him one more year
Once again the vets completely disappear and/or get embarrassed in a close game vs an actually good team down the stretch in key moments. Every. Single. Time. What do Griff and Trajan see in these bums that anybody with a functioning pair of eyes doesn't??? They aren't in our future plans at all, and they're doing absolutely nothing now in the present to help for this foolish playoff push when they're supposed to be leading and carrying the young kids to victory in close games like this. Instead it's the exact opposite. 
I have no problem with having veteran experienced players on a roster to set the example and show young rooks how to play and to lead... these sandbagging clowns taking up $50+ million do NOTHING to help us win any meaningful games 9 times outta 10. They frontrun and statpad against bad teams like the Cavs to give the illusion that they're positive players... then go completely ghost and embarrass themselves once it comes time to play a good team while guys like Lonzo are doing everything hustling everywhere to try and cover for them. All of them need to kick rocks and be outta here first thing end of April. Can't believe the amount of assets we coulda gotten for Jrue last summer that this frontrunning FO passed up on just to watch him get owned by a white boy on national TV for our 4th loss in 5 games now.
Ain't even gonna waste time ranting about coaching, everyone knows we have a bottom 3 coach in the league that is keeping his job purely because he's buddy buddy with the owner and POBO. That isn't changing until its obviously too late unfortunately.

He will. This FO loves Gentry for some reason. I mean they treat him like he's Pop.
This isn't me calling for Gentry job. It's just an astute observation about how the FO gives Gentry all the leeway and excuses in the book.

He was the guy at the front of AD vs Pels organization, that bought him a lot of love + he has a personal relationship with Griffin going back. He has a lot of friends there, lol.
Pelicans just need to work on chemistry because playoffs are done imo. I know fans wanted it but team is still too young. Need to work on bad habits this summer and come better next year. Griffin also needs to do a better job at putting the roster around.
All the preseason takes were this team would be a great defensive team, and a horrible 3 point shooting team and the opposite has happen
Gentry is a good guy and he's not the worst coach he's just not the right coach
And although his coaching has always been bad we've had worst problems on the team that overshadowed it in the past.

Stop the favors hate. He’s doing the best he can. Y’all expect him to be shaq, he is who he is. He’s a 6’10 pf trying to play center. It was nobody else on the market and y’all seen how we couldn’t grab a board when he was hurt early in the year. Stop expecting him to be anything he not. He can’t stretch the court, and he not gonna be able to defend 7’2-7’3 kristraps
he will be gone next year along with a few others. Happy we can focus on his building the team now and not crying bout offs

That move is gonna haunt him, Wood's turning in to a stud. And he has a case for MIP over Ingram since he went from being almost out of the league to being a 20+ and 10 big shooting 40% from 3 and getting a max this summer

Yea it's not just y'all, every team in the league missed on him. He was putting up 30 and 14 in the G league last year and he's the perfect big for today's game idk how all these scouts missed on him he's 6'10'' w/ a wingspan over 7'3'' he's built like KD basically. Has everything in his arsenal when it comes to scoring, great rebounder at the 4, good ball handler/passer, can defend 3-5 and get you a few blocks+steals a game and isn't a liability in PnR when he's switched on guards. He's got all the tools to be great
