When The Levees Broke: OKC Demolishes Pelicans Defense In Game 2 Rout “In Game Two, the Pelicans were confronted with the center conundrum that has reared its ugly had at different times; Jonas Valanciunas may be their most effective one-on-one scoring option, but he’s just as…

"They came out physical. They were aggressors. I don't know what to say, we didn't expect them to play that hard. That's on us. Its not acceptable. It was a shame today" -- Jonas Valanciunas on the defensive issues tonight
Send me some questions…I’m recording a new episode of @TheBirdCallsNO in the morning. Anything. Everything.
The Pelicans averaged 15.1 fast break ppg during the regular season; they’ve scored a total of 13 through 2 playoff games.
Through 4 games: BI: 24-59 FG (40.6%), 65 pts CJ: 22-59 FG (37.2%), 51 pts BI has 5 3PA in 4 games (0 tonight). CJ is 5-25 (20.0%) on his 3PA.

Pelicans fans trying to figure out the odds of the Pels coming back to win this series.
The Pelicans fall to 3-14 over the last two seasons when held below 100 points. OKC is responsible for 4 of those losses.

Part of the moving pick is on the guy accepting the screen. You have to allow the screener to do his job, you can’t go before he’s set.
Larry Nance Jr. is favoring his right leg it seems after that box out with Chet on one of the Pels' offensive possessions. Just reached down at his right ankle/foot as he walked off the court. He's walking straight to the locker room.
It’s hard to win games when you don’t win quarters. So far in the postseason, the Pelicans have outscored their opponents in just 5 of 15 quarters. And they enter the 4th down 18 without a single win when trailing after 3.
I love AD, and I hear him asking for Pelicans fans to show up on Saturday. But…the folks who really need to show up are wearing the red jerseys.
The Pelicans were 3-5 on corner 3s, 2-10 on the rest. Tell ‘em Avon.
Hard to have sympathy for the Pelicans when they’ve had so many self-inflicted wounds tonight.

you have to be such a garbage piece of trash person to make this kind of thing jesus christ
To expand upon this, at this point everyone should recognize what a weapon Zion is WITH the ball. The goal is to make it more sustainable so he doesn't burn himself out doing it full time. A "glove like fit" is a guy who can create advantages, have a 2 man game, and play offball
@FearTheBrown Your answer here likely depends on how much faith you put into the "Point Zion" concept. I'm guessing about half of the 55% who said guard have a very different idea of what "glove like fit" means for a G.
Brandon Ingram's shot distribution in Games 1 and 2 - 2 of 5 at rim - 8 of 20 midrange - 0 of 2 from 3 Willie Green: “Keep making winning plays. ... We don’t want to focus on force-feeding him. If we make winning plays over and over again, things will open up for us.”
We haven't seen a true 5 out for Zion. The idea was there with Melli but obviously didn't work out. I don't know if the Pels can nail the guard AND the center position at the same time. But they might be able to nail one and find a good small ball guy for the other.
“Winning is a lifestyle for us” is a bar. It should be on a t-shirt. A billboard in Denver.
I don't think people understand CJ is just better than these guys. The "point guard" position has the fanbase in a chokehold
Gimme any actual PG our SF shouldn’t lead the team in assist on the YEAR. that’s insane and every team trying to play like that is getting dog walked in the play offs right now. Gimme DLo or Fultz. Anyone who can actually run the 1. I like CJ but he’s no point
for the record i would not want CJ gone. he had a phenomenal season and is excellent in an off ball/third guard role. obviously he’s gonna suck if you ask him to scale up to primary level usage
if the pelicans are serious about winning a championship around zion, they will both be gone by the start of next season
@bjpf_ Seems like BI and Valanciunas might be gone this off season

“And there’s the difference gentleman. You see how Uber aggressive Shai’s being? Brandon Ingram at the other end, the number 1 offensive weapon for the Pelicans is in the corner and not even looking to be aggressive.” -Reggie Miller
I can't stand all the whining and crying about refs. This is gonna be my last tweet whining and crying about the whining and crying.
Draft picks just existing tonight, waiting to get drafted. ESPN- Let's talk about this kids deepest, darkest traumas.
How I see things currently: Series most influenced by matchups: Suns-Wolves Lakers-Nuggets Pacers-Bucks Series determined by talent: Celtics-Heat Cavaliers-Magic Series determined by variance/randomness Knicks-Sixers Mavericks-Clippers And then, like, Pelicans-Thunder in…
Like sure, the schemes can be "better" but at the end of day BI cannot collapse the defense and the thunder are happy to let him play 1s vs Dort. CJ now isn't enjoying the benefits of Zion's gravity and faces much harder defense. Jose is just too small on both ends
The perimeter play has been THE biggest culprit for the Pelicans. There is no reliable advantage from creation, no way to collapse a defense, and thus no way to generate threes. And on the other end the perimeter guys are not getting stops. Creation is bigger need than Center
