The New Orleans Pelicans collapsed in the 3rd quarter against Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Jake Madison looks at if it was the referees who called a weird game or the Pels themselves. Plus, what happened to the offense around Zion Williamson with Brandon Ingram out, how do the Pelicans fix their rebounding issues, and is there anything that can be done about Bally Sports?

You're trying really hard not to just say they got their asses kicked…The word ref should never come out of your mouuth losing by 30!
Mr. ErryDat'rr👈🏾 Thanks Jake. BI with the mysterious knee soreness after he was perfectly fine on Saturday & Sunday's practice is BEYOND ridiculous. It's game freaking #3!! These players are so SOFT it's just plain horrible at this point.
Refs were giving star treatment to GS ! But Pels gotta play physical and make shots ! Pels were intimadated. Nobody played angry !
I just wish the NBA would mark the games they are going to have the refs steal, so I don't have to waste my time watching
When you are playing the best 3 point shooter in the history of the NBA it’s going to be a 3 point battle..😂
The question is, are you prepared to win it..💪🏾
OMG must be the refs because please …. you were beaten by a better team … where every player was rebounding 64 …. where one player scored 42 … where you cant keep Zion in the game .
pels lost by 28pts. Stop blaming the refs for the lost by blowing a call on curry. Lets say refs did call an offensive call on steph, pels would still lose by 25. Such a weak break down.
Every dayer comment
Not a technical foul on curry; cry about it lol. Why was he jumping?
yes Jake Madison I Missed you Monday night but I am here now I no you did not like Jakson Hayes buy i feel that he would be better than Zeller yes we need better rebounding they need a team effort no one reacts to the ball.
I do not want to see Ingram shooting more 3 pointers. Ingram should do what he does, mid range..
The Refs Was perfect.
We're Not here to watch The refs or free Throws.
The salty tears are funny though 🧂🧂🧂
Dude do you just like hearing yourself talk cause that's what you sound like
Consistent scores outside of Bi and Zion needed
…is Brandon Ingram a number 2 or is he a elite number 3? I think he's a elite number 3 masquerading as a number 2…I hope the Pels figure it out before they make the mistake of paying him like a number 2 and mess up their books with a bad contract
I was pissed with Ballys last night! I wasn’t at home and couldn’t watch on the app 🤦🏿♂️
Oh and Everydayer!
We already knew going into this game that the Golden State Warriors will almost always get the benefit of the doubt against the Pelicans due to their experience and status. They play a very aggressive style of basketball on both offense and defense. Draymond Green gets to just grab, palm, paw, punch, & slap opponents at will. Just short of him just beating people over the head with a baseball bat, the refs let him get away with murder. Almost literally!!! And, Steph Curry gets to leg sweep and karate chop you to get that extra advantage. They didn't win 4 NBA championships being soft! So, the refs are going to adjust their calls to fit the 0-100 MPH game that the Warriors typically play. The Pels are just going to have to learn to fight fire with fire b/c they may be able to overpower lesser teams and win those games that they are supposed to win against weaker teams, but if we want them to go further into the playoffs then just the playin tournament or the first round of the playoffs then they are going to have to match the effort and intensity that the good teams give each game! The Pels look very slow and pedestrian in the half court when playing against the best and good teams like Golden State! The Pels play a 90's/early 2000's style of NBA game while Golden State has invented the modern 2023 NBA game that you see today winning NBA championships. Zion & BI are going to have to figure out how to move the ball to find the man who can make the best shot. They can't just keep playing the same old isolation dribble, dribble, and then shoot style of basketball that they played in high school and single year of college! They are going to have to adjust their games to the modern NBA! Both are exceptional scorers, but they are not invincible. Teams are figuring out that they can just double team them and if they miss the shot then box them out and get the rebound! It's not rocket science. Basketball is a team sport so if Zion and BI can't play more team ball they will continue to be stuck in the middle of the pack dominating the more inferior teams, but getting dominated by the more superior teams!!!
The pels stop moving without the ball. This our strength and not one on one play. CJ a good player is a SG we need a real PG…
I’m sorry, but the pelicans didn’t play a good enough game to be able to blame anybody else. At some point you have to look in the mirror.
Pelicans can't win without Ingram
