    This is kinda why every team in the league shuddered a bit when Boogie went to NOP. I mean, hell, Buddy Hield would be scary right now, but most teams don't have multiple great-defending big men to throw at them.

    Thought Aminu had that! Good decision by Dame to make some passes here

    Nurk stuffed Cousins and he went straight into pout mode. That is the Cousins we need to see for the rest of the game.

    If we could make an open 3. Pelicans defense against the 3 has been awful. They're extremely lucky.

    NO is dodging bullets left and right with how open they're leaving us. We can afford to lose this-- could have tiebreaker implications later in the season for seeding

    # of shots missed when they can tie or take the lead: 77. At least, it seems like it.

    They had a dance off, and I swear they mashed Neil Olshey and Will Ferrell's face. LOL.

    He's been distributing well all game. He hasn't shot a bad shot all game, they just haven't fallen. Can't really fault him for that, as that happens. It's still frustrating though.

    Dame just needs to stop short-arming the ball. He's aiming instead of shooting. I feel like that's from not playing much lately. He'll get back in a rythym too.

    I loved the block by Nurk. But in that situation I would've preferred him to not hop three times while looking at DMC.
    Instead run the court while Boogie is crying and get an easy hoop.

    Looks like we are about to blow another one. Constantly owned by Cousins. So annoying.
