We played like arse and they couldn’t miss 3’s, Bridges had a career night and it was still close. Chris Paul will only get more gassed as the series goes on.


Bridges, Crowder and Payne all had their best games of the entire series.

BI had his worse so for. CJ has been off the entire series. Really need him to have an efficient break out game from him.

They missed too many free throws.
We were surprisingly 80% from the line.

Nah. CJ can still heat up at any given moment and you have to respect him. Plus he takes pressure off of Ingram. They didn’t throw Bridges on CJ a lot for no reason.

Motivation to step up in their defensive energy and intensity. They let Phoenix played with a lot more energy and out hustled the Pelicans. We were outplayed tonight.

He’ll learn and adapt but that’s not his game right now. Shouldn’t have to. If he started the game he’d get plenty of clean looks

Not turn it over for one. And not have mental lapses on D.

Yep. 7 TOs early and you’re down by 13 at half.

No CJ means BI is gonna get triple teamed by multiple good to elite players

Jose is shooting much better than CJ in this series

I just don't understand why we start Hayes over Jones.

It is like Hayes plays the first 10 minutes...sits for 20 minutes...plays 4 minutes in the 3rd and then is done for the night.

We should NEVER have a lineup where CJ or BI are both not on the floor at the same time. Stagger their minutes if you have to.

We should NEVER have a lineup where Herb or Alvarado are out when CP3 is in.

People really let a box score +/- convince them Trey is the key to this series.

Actually watch Trey on the court. He's scared out of his mind out there. They were screaming at him to move around tonight. He gets out there and literally freezes in the half court.

I know they have to account for his shooting, but not all rookies are ready to actually contribute in these level games.

Starting Jose means benching Jax not CJ.

If Jose was shooting at the same volume as CJ, he wouldn’t be. What a wild and in the moment take if you think he should get more minutes than CJ. Jose should get literally all of Grahams minutes tho.

Nah

He just needs graham's minutes


We'll have to live and die with our good players CJ should continue to shoot 20 shots per game, we'll only win if he does and shoots well. If he doesn't play minutes or take shots, we'll still lose. Live and die with him and mostly BI
