Boston was a disappointment, but, in the end, the Suns are the game that can help us the most going forward. That’s what has my focus.

More than a disappointment. It signifies that this team can compete with teams in the Western Conference, but cannot compete with elite teams like Boston, Minnesota and Oklahoma City.

We’ve beaten the wolves twice and okc as well. Don’t live in the moment.

Yep...the Celtics are on a whole different level than the Wolves and OKC...& just about everybody else for that matter. Only team that can legitimately challenge them...is a fully healthy...Denver Nuggets.

They're still on track on my road to 50 wins. I only expected him to win 1 game out of OKC, MIL, and BOS. The must wins are the next three in our home stand. PHX, ORL, and SAS to bring our home stand to 4-2.

Exactly. We’ve beaten Minnesota and OKC. Get it together, man.

Every game is The Game now. That is what happens when you put yourself in this position by repeatedly giving away winnable games.

Trying already to mentally prepare for the inevitable Booker 40 point 6/9 from 3 point game that he always seems to put on us

Assuming we match up defensively vs the Suns the way I think we will...I doubt they will use Booker quite as much as they usually would. At crunch time...they will go at some of our weakest links defensively...same as they learned to do during playoff series a coupla years ago. Be kinda silly for them to go at our one true strength on the defensive end. JMO...I could be wrong.

Boston is just good. They can take Phoenix. They traded away their depth for Durant and their big three haven't really meshed as well as they planned.

Beside the loss, I wasn't overly disappointed in the Celtics game. I agree though that the Suns game is important.

Folks have been clamoring for the team to establish an identity. Well, Coach Green and the Pels want to play fast, switch, and pressure teams defensively to create turnovers and break opportunities. It was clear with the Dyson minutes.

Val has played as well this year as you could expect, but the team direction does not mesh with his skill sets, and just don't see him getting big minutes down the stretch and into the playoffs. Frontcourt will split minutes between Val, Nance, and Dyson.

40 is better than the 72 he put up on us last time…

Exactly what a fair weather pelicans fan would do. You make it really easy for people on here to despise you.

Looking at their social media. Looks like they were practicing at Tulane Saturday. They have had plenty of rest.
