Evening Fam. How many games y’all gonna let Trey Murphy cost the team and not say nothing? That boy is not it… he don’t defend, he don’t rebound, and he can’t dribble. I hear Trajan coming get his ass in the offseason.
Who Dat Pelican Nation! 🏀
Dejounte Murray dropped 35 points, Trey Murphy III added 22, and Derik Queen continued to impress… but the Pelicans fall just short to Houston 107-105.
What was the biggest reason the Pelicans lost this game late?
1⃣ Defense
2⃣ Turnovers
3⃣ Late-game execution
4⃣ Coaching adjustments
Sound off below ⬇ and join Big Q & DC for the PPR Final recap!
Zion got out shot by both Sadiq Bey and Herb Jones… absolutely unacceptable. Especially with this specific matchup where there’s no one to guard him… Zion fails to assert dominance and get the ball. His teammates constantly fail to get him the ball, and he’s clearly not a priority with play calling.
We lost because Zion took 10 shots. Pitiful
JB Lost this game tonight 😮 always trying to play with no center on the floor 👈 how do you let a 6 feet 6 player through the ball in bound 🏀 Zion 💪 you have to do better 🎯
Why have one of your best offensive weapons inbound the ball that didn't make sense
I think the whole team was frustrated at Borrego in last couple of minutes he lost the team tonight he didn't fight for them
