The Larry Nance minutes absolutely destroyed us

Boston is intentional over and over and over to work the best matchup.

When do we ever do that with that level of focus to be that intentional?


And this is going to be the biggest issue come playoff time. Teams are going to attack CJ (And Jonas) over and over again until Willie has to take him off the floor.

Yes. They should move on from Willie. Nice guy and probably a good assistant, but the Pels are obviously being held back on coaching.

His apparent Defensive upgrade doesn’t make up for his complete liability on the offensive side…

Infuriating. More infuriating that it keeps happening

Totally agree, why did he not start JV like he did to begin the game, just mind baffling

“Let’s go Celtics” erupts in the blender. Embarrassing

It's process vs results

Boston is better than us, more talent. I didn't expect to win.

But there's no reason for the process to be... out processed lol.

Even in late game, Boston just hammering the same play to get the same matchup. These are the things we don't consistently do. Find the matchup you want in the spot you want. Not once or twice or a good bit of the time. Do it nonstop. Not sure why we fade in and out like we do.

Schedule is brutal. Where do we end up? 6/7/8 seed? Mavs going to pass us easily. Hopefully the Clippers sink. If we drop two to the suns, we fricked.

The Pelicans best lineup this game was their starting group, which was never seen again after the first quarter. +8 in 6 minutes.

Their worst lineup this game was the starters + Larry. -14 in 11 minutes.

I think the issue is stubbornness of Willie and how late he adjusts. He leaves guys like Larry and Dyson in there way too long. Its those kind of things that kill us.

Val has the shortest leash ever rn and I don't get it.

KP had 2 fouls in the first quarter and we refused to attack him with size and power

Worse case scenario is this but they extend Willie.

Because for Willie defensive scheme over everything else. Its like his core principle and honestly his stubbornness with this loses us games.

There has to be more offense than just CJ and Zion for us to be consistently successful.



This. But Willie is only worried about his defense with Jonas and it’s equally shitty version with Larry out there

I mean the starting lineup scored 37 points and Willie never played them again. Thats literally something you get fired over. What the hell is he doing???

Griffin isn’t a complete idiot. He sees this stuff too. Again he hasn’t been extended. I truly wonder what they’ll do with him in the offseason. I think if these same issues arise in the playoffs and we’re ousted in first round- I really think Willie may be gone.

Not only that but the Z, CJ, Herb, Trey and Jonas lineup is +14 in like 70 minutes or something. It’s insane…INSANE…that lineup doesn’t get more looks

The insanity is its game, after game, after game- he refuses to play that lineup. It’s literally coaching malpractice.
