    We just blew a 30-6 run halftime run on national fucking television.

    I’m disgusted

  2. Ciccone7

    2nd worst loss of the year imo. Cant blow 20pt leads at home regardless of poor officiating.

  3. asapshrank

    tie game 30 seconds left and willie doesn’t call a timeout. what the fuck is wrong with this dude?

  4. Simple_Danny

    What a classic Pelicans collapse. Ja with the most points in NBA history coming off missing 25 games.

  5. Downtown_One3836

    nba got exactly what they wanted with this game – you could tell very early on what they wanted to happen

  6. RomanReignsDaBigDawg

    The defensive rotations for the final plays was just horrific

  7. CmonMan711

    Willie ain’t learn a damn thing, god forbid we take a TO and draw up a play.

  8. Savings-Bird-1226

    Lol this team ain’t serious yet. Ingram gave us the game on a silver platter and they smacked it out his hands

  9. UnimpressedAsshole

    i don’t even care, this team needs to fucking do SOMETHING different

    make a change, but something has to change

  10. CloudyJelly

    The CJ airball three was the difference. Such a nothing play.

  11. This team is the New Orleans Saints of the NBA

  12. Trey played 20 minutes. Naji played 17. Fire WG

  13. Taker597

    Man… I’m sick of Willie amateur hour coaching. Wait to the very last possession to play Dyson.

  14. Both_Funny4896

    cj mccollumn with sum horrible clutch decision making

  15. hungry5991

    A lot of things to talk about but watching Zion off ball can be so painful. Not to mention rebounding 3 rebounds is criminal my man.

  16. Julep2005

    Willie is pathetic. This game should be all the proof of it. Our players played great. They should’ve played good enough to win but we have a coach that benches someone who went 5/6 in the first half, refuses to use TM when there was zero spacing for the last 4 minutes. A coach that doesn’t call a freaking time out with possibly our last possesion? How does someone F up this badly.

  17. Qwerty_Turkey

    Well the nba got the story they wanted. Man I’m tired of these losses after we built up a big lead

  18. Whitedork1982

    Don’t know what’s worse…sloppy turnovers, offensive rebounds, or the refs in this game. Should’ve never tuned in after half.

  19. rockmusic83

    How do JV and Zion have 7 free throws combined?

  20. Julep2005

    Top 10 worst teams has to have the pelicans in national television

  21. MrErnie03

    Team can’t close games. Could easily be 21 and 7 or better. So many bigs leads wasted

  22. ArrowGantOne

    National TV audience. Again.

    Which is worse, getting your asses handed to you from start to finish on the court in Vegas? Or looking like an NBA playoff team for 3 quarters and losing to your division rival on a buzzer beater at home?

  23. NikoRavage

    This fuckin team can NEVER capture the moment and win national tv games. Most fans don’t have Bally and only see the Pels when they play on tnt/espn and they lose every fuckin time bruh

  24. SpaceAfricanJesus

    Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Terrible performance from everyone outside of BI and mostly JV. Coaching was the biggest culprit imo. Just terrible decision after terrible decision.

    Really hard to watch too. So much of the refs wanting to make it about them.

    Oh yea and Chuck picked us to win so of course we were gonna lose.

  25. dominicklala1287

    There’s really no excuse to lose this game, yet I know we’re just gonna bitch about the officiating (which was obviously terrible). Doesn’t matter how bad the refs are, you can’t blow a 24 point lead in any situation

  26. timmy1602

    CJ air balling wide open 3s in the clutch happens way way way too often.

  27. Fire Willy, then completely revamp the entire coaching staff this off season. Anything else is just asking to be a losing team into perpetuity

  28. twojace21

    Rotations were fucking despicable tonight. Naji should have been benched and Dyson take the remainder of his minutes. Zion should’ve started the 4th like he usually does. And Trey only got 20 mins where he should be getting AT LEAST 25.

  29. Starting lineup sucks. We can’t stash Zion in the corner every possession. Brandon Ingram and Zion need the breathing room that Trey Murphy provides. We keep sticking to the same lineups and emphasising defensive play on an offensive minded roster

  30. JV and CJ had freat games until the end and they sold hard.

    Herbs lack of offense is killer especially if he isn’t making a positive impact on defense

    Zion needs the ball in his hands more. Sticking him in the corner ain’t it

    I’m not going to listen to any sport shows tomorrow because I can’t take anymore of the Ja glazing

  31. Skinnieguy

    Why do suck the 2nd half so much? It’s been consistently all year long. No lead is ever safe.

  32. Never Sent a double team. Awful Coaching shameful performance

  33. Blazer2023

    How do 2 players have more FT’s than our entire team

  34. If the Pels have a 20+ point lead against ANY team that’s even KINDA competent, I fully expect them to let them come back.

  35. maxfaulkner

    Being a New Orleans sports fan gotta be one of the most frustrating things in life

  36. Cbeauski23

    If you don’t like that you don’t like pelicans basketball!!

  37. GatorEggs-

    Desmond bane trips over his own feet and gets a whistle. Disgusting lmfao

  38. _Wado3000

    I’m sorry to say but my favorite game this year was the Borrego game.

  39. WeirwoodThrone

    I loved Will as much as anyone that first season. But the ‘You gotta fight’ is worn off. This is as good as we’ll ever be with him. I don’t care if Zion is not in game shape. Ja ain’t in game shape but when it’s on the on the line Taylor Jenkins is playing through his super max player. Why are we not??? If Zion is that bad then prove it on the floor! We basically have a $190 million role player. Where the hell was Murphy in the last quarter?

  40. DankSinatraSr

    We’re now tied with the fucking WIZARDS for 2nd most 10 point leads blown, and y’all fucking idiots still wanna sit here and say Willie Green is a good coach. Fuck out of here.

  41. Dazzling-Mirror8982

    BI would be all-NBA if our coach wasn’t from the 90s and running the worst spacing and shooting lineups next to him.
