TBH that loss was better than some of our wins.

Not mad in the slightest.

That was such a well put together game given the circumstance and we just saw the coming out party for NAW and hopefully Kira.

Jaxson looked like a legit NBA big man tonight. Boarding in traffic, positioning, and getting efficient offensive shots around the rim.

We learned a lot this game. NAW needs big minutes. His develop is key at this point. That level of shotmaking is too valuable to not foster.

NAW is our PG the rest of this season. I think this team needs a consistent sniper at the 2 with the starters. And we need a 3/4 spacer with the second unit. Kira should keep running the second unit and have BI with him. They play well together.

He and Kira need minutes. If this season does nothing but grows our talent, I’m okay with that


I couldn’t agree with you more!

I realize how many minutes he's getting. I'm saying that no matter who is the coach, he wouldn't have started the year getting significant minutes. It's 10 games into the season, we're you expecting him to get more minutes than lonzo, Bledsoe or naw 10 games into rookie season?

The lack of turnovers by NAW and Kira was refreshing

This is the one game where the Pelicans does everything SVG asks of them and still lost. Defended, protected the paint, limited turnovers, rebound, and limit fast break points. They competed for sure. Really good effort.

There is no way you can walk away from this game and NAW is not a starter going forward.

No, I expect him to be in the rotation vying for minutes as he plays well.

Well hopefully Zo and Bledsoe will be out for a few more games so NAW can show SVG that its impossible for him to be on the bench.

The Clippers still have Leonard and George. We really don’t even have anyone that really matches up to defend them at all.

The last 5 minutes or so of that game was just bananas. Went from frustration to madness real quick.

Unfortunately, if we want to go the Beal direction, a game like this probably makes NAW the centerpiece young asset Was demands....And maybe with how Kira looks you do it, but idk. At this point I want to see 20 games of NAW with quality minutes. Because Beal ain’t cost controlled like Kira/Naw

I'd love to see it, but unfortunately it's not going to happen.
