    Well, online stats say 18 turnovers, but the PBP guy says 20. I'll take either.

    This is like a reverse Rockets last year, when one team is playing so bad to the point you don’t really know how good to feel about the other winning

    Basically this game for the Pels is how we looked to every other fan base last year

    This is so much fun to watch. These guys might be able to catch some lightning in a bottle this year.

    3/15 from 3 in that half. Only player to make one was Jabari.
    A lot of good signs but being terrible from three is gonna kill us this season.

    If Cam is instant offense (as he’s shown in SL and first preseason game) trust me, he’ll find the floor
    Agreed, but you need folks that can score though - especially in the second unit. I cringe when Tate has the ball in his hands on offense

    Yeah shooting is not good but that is the thing about shooting, it really comes and goes.

    If your defense is good though its going to win you a lot of games you shouldn't win, it's going to make up for the poor shooting because it makes the other team a poor shooting team too.

    I'm sure the shooting will come and go this season, we just don't have enough consistent shooters for it to be consistently good.

    Pelicans are just playing awful. Zion in 17 min has attempted 1 shot. McCollum and Ingram just seem to be chemistry killers, if there is any.

    It must be like that Atkins diet. It's great until you eat that biscuit and you explode.

    I love that kid and want him to succeed, but damn. I was seriously scared when I saw those pics over the summer.
