Pelicans (26-20) at Celtics (35-11) Game #47 1/29/24

That's our team in a nutshell.  JB has a wide open lane to drive, but he instead opts for the step back off the dribble 3.  And he misses.  Drive the ball.

So frustrating. And the worst part is that's exactly how they're instructed to play in this extreme three point offensive philosophy.

We're looking more and more like last year's team when they stopped hitting huge amounts of threes, particularly with letting the missed shots affect how we play the rest of the game.

Embarrassing effort on both ends. Really hate this team some nights

[liam]

Play more bench, Joe! Let "the starters" earn their minutes!

[Atzar]

Just play.  Lots of game left.  See if these shooting percentages don't even out a little bit over time.

[celticinorlando]

Unstoppable at home to losing three straight at home. Really frustrating

[jpotter33]

Theyre shooting 60%/70% 2pt/3pt splits, were shooting 40%/30%

The difference is that they've shot 8 of 23 total shots from three, compared to us shooting 11 of 22 total shots from three.

We just force feed the high rate of threes regardless of what's going on in the game.

The C's need to get the ball to Jaylen in these bench minutes. He's making excellent decisions out there.

we are last years team unless KP is playing

[Silas]

Pels shooting lights out over 60%

[celticinorlando]

Hard to beat anyone with this level of defense

[Atzar]

Hauser has to get his ass to the corner when Tatum drives.  Don't see him make that mistake very often.

[liam]

Junk shot to end the quarter...

[Atzar]

Bad start.  No reason we can't get back in the game though.  Just bring it and see where the chips fall.

[jpotter33]

Perfect ending to that quarter - JT pulling up a deep, poor iso look from three with four seconds left.

[celticinorlando]

More turnovers. No defense. BS offense.

I’m tired of getting blown out.
