Pelicans (20-25) at Celtics (23-23) Game #47 3/29/21

[Tr1boy]

Smart and EF shot 6-25

Pritchard, Nesmith  and Kornet shot 10-16

Whats the point...

Brad is never going to play Pritchard over Smart

[nickagneta]

Screw these refs. Total blown call by the refs then they punish Smart for their own mistakes.

So incompetent. Makes NBA about unwatchable.

Smart doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt. He’s a flopper. The refs know it. They aren’t gonna call that.

Eh. It was pretty blatant. Adams even extended his arms. That's a straight up missed call.

Still, I think the turning point in this game was when we one that tip ball and Smart literally threw it away. Feels like he just kept compounding mistakes after that and we had an emotional let down as a team.

Spot on.

6-26  .....I think I could hit that many with my eyes closed

The shooters need to shoot and Smart needs to play defense.

Until Danny trades Smart next year.

He's a two-time 1st Team All-Defense who's about the best in the league at drawing those types of fouls. Yeah, he deserves the benefit of the doubt there, especially someone like Adams who does that kind of stuff all the time with how big he is.

No, he literally doesn’t. Refs were letting them play all night. They weren’t going to call that. Plus, then Smart has a temper tantrum because he played like trash and couldn’t handle it like an adult.

This is basically what I've resigned to believing too. Brad's unwavering blind faith in his favourites costs us time and again (Smart every year, Theis over GWill against Miami, etc.), and it's one of the main reasons I want him outta here

The excuse that Smart was worried about the trade deadline is over now what?

Except they were calling charges all night, and less obvious ones than that. If you're seriously defending that as a no-call then... I don't really have much to say

[nickagneta]

You know, maybe we need to change our giving out TPs ritual after wins.

Maybe we should be giving each other TPs after losses as emotional support for having gone through the mutual torture of watching the team this year when they suck.

Maybe a little TP love will make us feel better after.......THIS!

He has an ego the size of the sun?

Naw. There's a difference between "letting them play" and letting blatant crap like that go. That's not something that is subjective when it's that blatant.

[ozgod]

Smart has some blame for the shaqtin a fool play plus bricking 3 after

But the problem was Fournier

Brad should have stopped going back to him. Tonight was not his night

When will Brad understand  .. sometimes its not these players nights

Brad probably didn’t want to destroy Fourniers confidence and his teammates confidence in him by yanking him on debut. Then he might ruin him for the rest of the season, not just tonight.

Pritchard and Smart are the total opposite players. One is always in control and one isn't ever in control.

They only let them play one way!

I was really hoping after not hitting a shot all night that Evan's first basket would be as a game winning shot.

Oh well
