What the hell was that?

139 points?

Pelicans haven't cared about defense in many years

If you notice a trend, it's opposing guards being able to do whatever they want, whenever they want. There's almost no resistance. I think our bigs are holding up better for the most part.

Garland was actually calling for picks to get Zion off of him after the initial pick and switch. He wanted Fears. They were hunting Fears last night to just walk to the rim.

Pouty Herb is not the Good Herb.

I have not been able to watch the last two games as intently as normal and would like to hear thoughts on what’s going on with Herb, Murray, and rotations. I thought we had settled to a stretch of better defense and then give up 139? And a lot of it looked easy—straight line drives to the rim and open threes. What’s going on?

The run of a couple of games of good defense is the outlier, not the other way around.
This is not a good defense.
Average offense. Bottom tier defense. 30-35 wins is the expectation, always has been.

“ We're a bottom 10 defense, you got it inverted.”
I hear ya, but it looked like the rotations were different, too. Maybe I’m making that up. Is Fears a defensive liability? I did see Karlo get bullied by Lopez a little.

Herb is pretty useless currently unless he’s glued defensively to a star scorer (like Keyonte George, he was needed) but against a team like the Clippers he is a net negative having zero offensive confidence.
Mosley is for some reason playing Murray and Fears together 90% of the time, a 1st grader could see why that makes no sense. If they both start together, they need to at least stagger heavily in rotations to get the best out of Fears and the corpse of Dejounte Murray.
Our bench comes in and has zero scoring or shooting outside of Bey. Basically Queen barrelling into people or Bey playing 1 on 1, then we dig a hole that starters can’t get out of. Not sure why McGowens gets no run, he was actually okay last year.

He's playing trae young level of defense unfortunately

Playing Fears and Murray together so much has really aggravated me. Didn’t we win every game that Murray missed with his kid being born?

Like...one of the worst perimeter defenders in the NBA level bad.
I understand he's on the smaller side so there's some elements of that he can't do anything about.
But all that ra ra stuff about how Fears "has that dog in him" and he's fighting anyone one, and blah blah blah...it's all nonsense until he starts to try on defense. It sorta reminds of BI when all I ever heard was about his work ethic. Nah, work ethic don't mean shite if you're just getting up shots for hours but not working on your defense. That's not work ethic.
Same for Fears, I don't care about how fearless he is of anyone, play some defense. Do that first, then we can talk about how tough your mindset is because right now, he's soft as shite.

This is the worst team in the NBA
I don’t care what their record is

At this rate we should put in NFL practice team d linemen. They probably can't be any worse and.....they might challenge some shots and drives to the basket. Could be entertaining.
