I wanna say this 3 point shooting will correct itself but who the fuck knows.
Ingram has passed it to 2 dudes who got open looks and they flat out missed them.

Those 2 assists make this team 6-2.

They’re 4-4.
Can we find the shooting before we lose the season? https://twitter.com/DruProductions/status/1347020486291591169
I don’t care if they allow 3s and folks get hot (if they close out on dudes.) 13/49 from 3 (26.5%), dudes passing up shots because their confidence is shot and dudes just jacking up garbage ain’t gonna cut it.

You cannot lose when your stars go 19/32 from the field, 11/12 FTAs.
Finished 6/22, 2/13 from 3 and 6 TOs. Just wear the L right there. https://twitter.com/ben_alterman/status/1347017110799544320
Yup. You can play your young guy to give him confidence and take the guy who just stunk up the joint off the court. https://twitter.com/masonginsberg/status/1347022823970234371
I’m 100% for this.

Now: are we ready to talk about who needs to step up here? And they don’t wear 5. https://twitter.com/jjmaples55_mst/status/1347019609275174912
Are we gonna talk about who were on the court then? https://twitter.com/_qtip/status/1347023967891107841
Wait: you’re advocating for a dude who couldn’t even stay on the court with a DNP-Knee? https://twitter.com/kareem_is_it/status/1347024667408805888
Zo/NAW/Hart/BI/Adams

Ingram: 1/2, 2 points

Adams: 1/1, 2 points

Zo/NAW/Hart: 0/6 and every shot was from 19’ and out. https://twitter.com/_qtip/status/1347025439282368516
The last 2 teams have shot 41.8% from 3.

The last 2 teams have had a below average offense. (108.9 & 107.8)

It’s not the defensive effort or the system.

It’s that non-creating role players cannot or will not shoot the basketball. https://twitter.com/ben_alterman/status/1347029891645136896
The data disagrees with you. https://twitter.com/DMGrubb/status/1347030665917849603
So fire SVG then. They also only had 36 paint points and took 16 FTAs. OKC was also a below average offense with those 19 3PT makes.

What SVG wants in the half court is working.

You cannot shoot 18.2% from 3 and have Zion and BI rank 2nd and 3rd in shot attempts. https://twitter.com/dmgrubb/status/1347029612002467841
Don’t know which dude I’m more disappointed in:

Zo because he’s jacking up junk when better scorers are on the court...

...OR...

...Hart, who’s passing up shots AND LAYUPS when the play is set for you to take them.
SVG went on a rant about allowing transition buckets.

Saying it’s about effort.

And yes: 27 points on the break is a lot.

Wanna know another way to stop the break: role playing guards shooting better than 4/20 from 3.
2nd units when the see the Pelicans:
Let’s add “...if the Pels shot 10/27...” to this. If they shot 34.7% from 3 in their last 2, they’d be 6-2. Just asking for league average shooting to complement the good defense. https://twitter.com/fearthebrown/status/1347024712220741636
E-fucking-gads!
I told everyone Kira Lewis is John Stockton with twist. https://twitter.com/fearthebrown/status/1347193966320607232
So you’re confirming that the data disagreed with you last night? https://twitter.com/dmgrubb/status/1347202704532254731
Your data says the team has a top 10 defense regardless of circumstance. This is YOUR data. So, are you gonna believe it or your lying agenda? https://twitter.com/dmgrubb/status/1347206407880400897
OKC posted a 107.6 Ortg last night. That’s 3 points below average (110.6.) It falls in line with NOLA’s 107.5 Drtg for the season. I don’t know what else to tell you, man. The data’s is the data. https://twitter.com/dmgrubb/status/1347206407880400897
It’s easier to call out effort to the media than “you guys cannot shot worth a fuck.” https://twitter.com/willguillory/status/1347206679151206402
So, you’re telling me, the Pelicans are on the wrong side of #ShootingLuck, have an anemic offense & still are losing by a possession?

Sounds like the defense is working. https://twitter.com/masonginsberg/status/1347210067842625536
And being off the mark like their 3PT shooting. https://twitter.com/cclark3000/status/1347219524110704642
