    And if SA wins this game , you don't make this post.
    Oh, how fragile "logic" can be.

    Of course CJ can also go ice cold but shoot at the same rate. Here's hoping. Where the FUCK was this effort in game 5 last year? Also, we should have demanded Jones for this version of CJ AND a pick AND Hart.

    They are playing the Spurs, I don’t think the Pels are world beaters or anything. Probably a nice win tonight and then a blowout loss in LA. Clips gotta be pissed off right now.

    Pop needs to make adjustments at halftime but 11 points is by no means insurmountable.

    Seems like a different kind in NO, kind that conveys to the entire team.

    Also does losing the Pels pick stop us from trading for Grant?? Maybe that Bucks 2025 pick will be better lol.

    Lol the pelicans have more talent than the spurs and they’re playing at home..it’s been relatively close. If they pull it out, they’re not beating the clippers in LA

    He’s the leader the Pels have been missing.
    And he’s one of those guys that can take over a game.

    He got to the line 5 times in the half. It used to take him multiple games to do that

    I've always thought CJ needed to be either starting PG or a 6th man role. Now he's starting PG surrounded by long players who play D. It just simply didn't work next to Dame, too short and not enough D. I don't think anyone has ever questioned CJ's ability to get hot and score buckets.

    You guys act like Minnesota did last night. As in....Overreact.
    Newsflash...The Pels are not in the playoffs, and odds are very strong they won't be.
    Why everyone freakin' during the first half of a play-in play-in game?
    Shit, ya'll already took the pick away...
    You guys are funny.

    How about someone who does the stats thing figure out how many times CJ had 27 points in a half.
    I’ll bet it happened a number of times.
    CJ has always been a guy who could score.
    In this game SA has no offensive threat to take advantage of his defense.

    Yes, CJ. Do what you did for us all the time and go cold in the 2nd half and freeze out your teammates. Yesssss, yes.

    Not when Johnson and Murray remain invisible. They're lucky Vassell made his threes
