Pelicans Game Thread

[stitches]

I'm really curious to see what Q can do for Millsap and Jingles's three point shots. If he can do for them what he did for Carroll, then those players become valuable bench pieces... picked off the scrap heap.

Corner 3s.... 38+%.... their careers could depend on it.

Millsap is actually shooting 38% from 3. If he can keep that and play defense like a "little pitbull"(Gordon called him that in the post-game interview for shutting down Tyreke in the second half), he'd be a very useful rotation player. He needs to improve his decision making in O a bit...

If we have two players hitting 1.5 3PMs a game, alongside the threes from Hayward, Burks & (hopefully) Burke & Exum, we will be okay.

The jump from 0.7 and 1.5 is pretty massive.

Right now Millsap is hitting that percentage while teams are daring him to shoot. He needs considerable improvement from 3 before I'd call him a threat.

It completely changes our team if they can ever hit 37% off 1.5 makes per game. If Exum becomes our PG of the future (or Burke *ducks*), I think the rebuild is done.

probably better duck harder and further

So the scouting reports on Hayward must say "Foul him every time he drives. More often than not the refs won't call it." Srsly last night it seems like the Pellies were making a conscious effort to smack him in the arm every time and he seemed to only get about a 3rd of the calls. Am I just being a homer?

hopefully you like the Dleague as much as homeytennis. That's where Trey's comeback gonna start. Excite!

He needs to pull his head back a la Harden, seems like it's the only way he'll catch the ref's attention.

as long as it comes at some point in his rookie contract, tbh.

He does that all the time. That's actually the one thing I wish he wouldn't do. Maybe that is why he is not getting the calls. The refs probably see that chicken necking **** and they roll their eyes.

I mean like really pull it back.

I didn't say I want us to lose every game. You're making assumptions now. And you know what they say about assumptions.

I merely want to have a chance to draft in the top-6 as we're not going to sign a star to this team VIA free-agency despite what some people wish. And we tend to draft much better than Philly & Minnesota - DL has a very good track record so far despite drafting Burke. Also, Milt Newton has made a lot of good moves since becoming the GM of the Wolves - so if they keep losing he'll likely continue making good draft choices as well as trades.

Lol lol I bleed!
