Game #56: Toronto Raptors 97 - New Orleans Pelicans 100

[007]

James Johnson is shooting .840 from the field in the month of February.

Holy shit. I knew he was shooting well, but not that well!

[douby leave me]

That ain't my style man

I was hoping for some more pics of Tom Sterner.

Well consman should have responded back to the original message saying "don't worry, I have forgotten"....and then proceeded to write, "What happened in Houston?"

We should be careful with the order of sequence.

That would have killed the joke. Gotta work on that joke meter Doc.

Although I like that consmap is now consman. Something shifty about crazy Tom Sterner.

We got our asses whooped and then handed on a platter. Womp, womp, womp.

We need a joke font, lol

Please no comments of overconfidence for this game. Just remember last night as well as embarrassing loss at home to New Orleans as motivation.

[Scraptor]

Ugh I really hope this isn't true.

You would think that playing alongside guys like DD, Lowry and Amir would inspire him. Nope.

I think he's just mentally fragile. I mean it's really rare for a coach to say he benched one player (JJ) in order to get another player going. Some guys just fold the tent too easily, and there's no simple fix for that.

It's 100% on him to nut up and work hard, but I do think his confidence might be busted like Val's was last year. Some guys can fight through it, some guys get apathetic and stop giving a shit. I wish I could play him a reel of all the guys who have washed out of the league due to complacency or apathy. You don't know what you're screwing up until you're playing in Bufu Iowa.

Terrance was gifted a starting role when Rudy was traded, didn't capitalize. Given a playoff run, didn't capitalize. Given Demar's injury, didn't capitalize. Given endless open 3 looks doesn't sink 'em or take the ball to the basket, always avoids contact. Lou was out last night, many players were fatigued and again he was not a factor.

Oh, but he is just our "young talent". No, he is 24 and only 1 year younger than Demar. Demar happened to be an all-star at 24, and yet some people think Ross will some day be able to assume Demar's statlines.

Survey says; preach!

[The Great One]

Any Anthony Davis news? will he play tomorrow?

[RepTdot]

c'mon Davis & Anderson being out injured for the game!

[RepTdot]

the unibrow re-aggravated his right shoulder sprain that he suffered a couple games before the All star break and Anderson has a right knee sprain. "Pelicans are thinking long term about the playoff race for the 8th seed with PHX & OKC and will lean towards caution in handling these injuries"

[rocwell]

Any Anthony Davis news? will he play tomorrow?

Officially, he's questionable against Raptors. His injury status is day-to-day. No structural damage per Woj

[The Great One]

Get out the Salami and Cheese mama this ball ga..............too soon?

Not great Nawlins news: Pelicans say Anthony Davis has a sprained R shoulder, out 1-2 weeks, & Ryan Anderson out 2-4 weeks w/sprained R MCL.

Yes! If the Raptors don't feed the bigs early and often, or our gunners aren't hitting from mid range, we can lose.

Also, if no one shuts down Tyreke Evans like last time these two teams played, then the Raps are in for some trouble. hopefully history doesn't repeat itself in this case.
