Someone was pointing out the Pelicans without Zion pushed the 64 win Suns to 6 games in the first round in 2022.

Ingram averaged 27ppg 6apg 6rpg in that series.

This is a good game between the Thunder and Pels..

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

OKC have gone 11 deep already. Only midway through Q2.

Jalen Williams cannot settle for those long jumpers. Not with this lineup out there. They need him to carry this group. To lead. To create. Not settle.

G: Cason Wallace
G: Aaron Wiggins
F: Lu Dort
F: Jalen Williams
C: Jaylin Williams

Not enough offensive talent around Jalen Williams there for him to be settling for long jumpers. He has to lead. To create for others.

Aww, that is a terrible bail-out call by the refs. You can't give SGA that!

too many.  Need to shrink the rotation to advance deep into the playoffs.

Bigs -
Wings -  Lebron James
Guards -

Nance Jr is an underrated player.

Thunder/Pelicans was by far the least hyped game of today and it’s turning out to be the only competitive game

I've got a hot take I think I could defend for a minute of a debate on it.

Brandon Ingram is essentially Kyle Anderson 2.0. Both move slow. Their release on their shot is slow. Anderson moves the ball better, but Ingram is a better individual scorer and playmaker. Anderson is the better defender.

If Kyle Anderson is Slo-Mo, then Brandon Ingram is Mo Slow Mo.

Man, Valanciunas had 20 rebounds in only 29 minutes.

11 def rebounds
 9 off rebounds

Wow, what a dumb challenge there. Not only did the Thunder not win it, they’re now even more disadvantaged going from a jump ball to NOLA ball. Not sure why you’d challenge that. Was not clear at all.

Mark Daigneault with a terrible challenge, turning a jump ball between Holmgren and Nance into New Orleans ball outright.  He “won”’ the challenge tho…

Boy, OKC gets a *really* favorable whistle. Two questionable foul calls in a row favoring them.
