Today's game makes me hate Gentry more and more. Win, sure.

but his management of these players and "feel for the game" is absolutely pathetic.


I imagine Clippers fans feel very similar tonight with the Clippers not fouling a dude with one eye who just missed 2 badly or Randle and instead letting 13 seconds run off and have AD take those FTs.

Thank God they got this one. fricking huge free throws by AD to put it away.

Still a chance to go 3-2 on this road trip.

Anthony Davis - one of the reasons we lost the 20 point lead, also the reason we won the game. The struggle of Pels fans everywhere. Just quit taking those funky 3s and play the paint man.

Our game plan was to play ridiculously good with elfrid running point.

Then take him out, stop running plays, play terrible, lose the lead and do nothing to adjust.

Maybe go back to the lineup that was blowing them out? Gentry is so bad sometimes its baffling.

No really only the struggle of clueless pels fan. AD wasn't responsible for losing the 20 point lead but fans will find a reason to blame anything possible on AD.

The coach made ZERO adjustments for the last quarter and a half.

Gentry was by far the problem. Management is worried about the Rams though

You’re nitpicking on guy who went for 46-16

Jrue shot 8-24

Why does Gentry keep Payton out of the game when we need good offensive possessions?


My biggest question of the night. Moore hasn't had a good game in well over a month, yet he's getting the crunch time minutes over Payton. Gentry's lineup rotations can be so damn retarded a lot of the time.

I bet it’s gentry and his hard on for the “spacing” Moore provides.

You think management watches these games and has the same reaction as us or they just look at the w/l column and see that there’s a w and they move on? Bc Gentry needs to go yesterday.

Hey now. Crewz is no retard. He’s just a dick, occasionally. He enjoys it.

I mean I kinda get it---if down the stretch Jrue is gonna be the primary ball handler you would want a guy next to him that can stretch the floor a bit and knock down the open 3 and Elf isn't that guy---but ya'll right Moore has been arse so yea


Also you guys are some troopers---I dint make it past tip off.

AD obviously is more important than Gentry, and if we fans could easily see the issue, why hasn't AD been vocal about his coaching decisions? We know he isn't the vocal type but you can't lose a 20 point lead in that fashion and not say a word about it.

The reason they lost a 20 point lead is bc AD isn't vocal about the coaching job?

AD not criticizing the coach is not a struggle all pelicans fans go through. Other than Lebron, how many times have you seen a superstar have the coach fired midseason? Pelicans fans are supposed to be mad that AD hasn't done this? Why wouldnt you point those fingers towards management?

I never said that was the reason we lost the lead. I said I think he should be vocal about it, and not publicly but privately. We wouldn't really know if he's done it privately but there seems to be no improvement on what seems like 100% obviously horrible coaching decisions. Just something like not seeing Hill or Frazier play anything more that 5 minutes. Or like not taking out hot players to put a starter in (in reference to him taking out a hot Oakafor for AD who came out of the locker room a few weeks ago). I knew he was going to do that, I knew it was going to kill our lead. I'm just wondering if AD sees the same and ever says anything about it because it doesn't seem like he does.
