Then Zinger hits.

We say "shooting slump" but like... these slumps are supposed to be brief, right? Feels like we've been in a shooting slump for two straight months lol, maybe with 2-3 games being outliers

Getting lit up already

Predictable. Celtics can't make anything and the team they play can't miss.

Add in that teams that can't shoot are hitting everything against us.

[Phantom255x]

Meanwhile, Pels are 4-5 from 3.

That just keeps happening...

[jpotter33]

Just not the same team as last year, particularly defensively.

[Indocelts]

why can't Tatum and Brown shot more elbow jumpers and less 3s?
Increased 3PA doesn't do good for them, in fact Brown's shooting the worst 3pt% in his career.

[SCeltic34]

Brown ran the out of bounds play before the ref even gave Tatum the ball.  Get your [dang] head in the game dude.

[jpotter33]

Lucky Jrue was there. Brown just legitimately airballed a wide open wing three.

And right back to the awful double big lineup again - even when the opposition isn't particularly big and we're getting killed from three.

[Phantom255x]

The Pelicans have an 8-31 record guys. COME ON

[keevsnick]

That last Tatum foul needs to be eliminated from the NBA. Tatum moves forward into the defender and gets rewarded with foul shots. Not a foul. The defender lands before Tatum moves forward into him.

[SCeltic34]

I hate Dejounte Murray.  26% from 3 this season and his cocky ass can't miss against us.

[celticinorlando]

Pelicans are dreadful until they play Boston.
