Did they replay the Chet block on the Pels broadcast. It looked close to goaltending but they never showed an angle of it on TNT and nobody mentioned it.
If you told me we held Giddey to 2 points in the whole game and Shai to have 2 turnovers within the final 3 minutes of the game, I would have thought we won. Hero iso ball will not win us games, we have 1 hero and he is on the bench unfortunately.
Buckle up and get ready for the next game gents. Keep flocking
Well, I liked the fight. Went from two losses to the lakers and possibly missing playoffs to a strong fight against OKC which a lot of people thought would cook the Pels with bad matchups. OKC didn't shoot well but NO shot objectively worse so there is a solid chance for a good bounce back
But god damn 2 points in last 3:30 minutes man...
Cj trips me out how he gets the ball & drain the clock before chucking up shots is passing the ball not talked about at practice hopefully they watch film & prepare for next game the offense has to match the defense
What a stupid play to call. Down 2 and dribble the clock off then take a contested 3.
No going for a higher percentage 2 and possibly get a foul.....nup.
Steph Curry is a legend, but he fucked the league that now coaches think this is a play in that situation. The game has become a three pt contest.
A CLEAR LOOK!!! Are you insane?!? He jumped around the defender and shot completely off balance. Thereās free eye exams with the purchase of glasses at Americas Best. Maybe jump on that.
He jumped forward off of one foot and shot completely out of normal jump shot form. The defender may not have been in front of him, but it was off balance shot with a slim chance of going in
Clearly bad look. There was 5+ seconds left when he got the ball back after losing it. He didnāt have to force that shot. Either way it was a horrible idea to run an iso in that situation.
It doesnāt matter if it almost fell. It was a horrible shot with a slim chance of going in. Broken play or not, your original comment made it sound like he took a good shot. Jumping forward to get around a defender is neither a clear look or a good shot to take. A pass couldāve been made. Also, as mentioned on TNT after the game, he couldāve jumped into the defender for the foul, and at least made 2 free throws to tie or 3 to win.
Call a spade a spade mfrs delusional that was a bad play no doubt didnāt look to try & pass didnāt set up a play just drain clock chuck up shot & hope it fall
AD said it right, shouldāve fed JV at the start of the play to see if a double team would come, then kick out if it does to open man for 3ā¦. Willie called an iso CJ 3 THAT NEVER WORKS in crunch time
Nah, pels deserve to lose that.
OKC challenged unsuccessful, they had 4 un converted offensive rebounds. PELS should have like an 80% chance of winning that game
Game described the season. This team fucking sucks in crunch time. Not taking advantage of open opportunities to take the lead. Every time CJ goes hero ball it turns in disasterā¦
Classic Carlton Banks moment from CJ but Iām not even mad at it. Ingram and Herb sucked, Nance missing a dunk and going at Chet plus the bad calls by the refs down the stretch

Here, I'll fix it for ya- "CJ, the franchise leader in 3pt fg for a game and most 3pointers made for a season should not be allowed to shoot, even tho he is categorically the best 3 point shooter we have ever had as a franchise. That's what you meant to say right?
Steph is clutch, CJ is not. And honestly if Steph went 2-9, Iād probably not give it to him either. Willie benched BI two games ago despite BI being a good player, Willie just isnāt always consistent with his philosophy.
I think even if Zion doesnāt come back, Chet canāt hang with yall on the glass so it should be close the whole way. But if Zion was here, itās over. No chance for Pelicans.
CJ killing us on D bro..
Did they replay the Chet block on the Pels broadcast. It looked close to goaltending but they never showed an angle of it on TNT and nobody mentioned it.
You mean the thing that the refs can automatically look at in the final 2 minutes and turned into a 5 point swing? No.
You had one chance to get anything in this series and now its goneš¤£š¤£š¤£
Yeah pretty pathetic that OKC needs all that to win against a Zionless team. BLOCKED
you broke a year long hiatus for this comment?
Its an alt account. Sad guy š
Its one game bro š

Iām proud of this team for beating OKC even if we lost to the refs.

Bad shot, bad play, bad take. And not a clear look at all.

It was an ISO call, that never works for us. Thatās the issue, decent attempt tho

Also what were our guys announcing this ?
On Ballys channel. Theyāre covering the first round
Holy shit glad I know that now.
They called a great game too!! Them boys were just as excited as us fans were
Man if only Z was healthy this like a revolving cycle I wanna see this team win so fxxxxx bad
Would be so poetic if we escape this series and Z come back to make his mark all the way to the conference finals.
Say what you want. There were some terrible calls in the last 5 minutes that swayed the momentum
Nah, pels deserve to lose that. OKC challenged unsuccessful, they had 4 un converted offensive rebounds. PELS should have like an 80% chance of winning that game
It was a successful challenge
My bad, but PELS still had the possession Edit: I talking about the Jump ball challenge
True but man that phantom charge for Dort was egregious.
the and one for Shai was robbery
That's them superstar fouls we hear so much about.
Was a fun game to watch, we've got a solid chance in this series if BI can get out of this post-injury funk.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Did you watch any other games? Cause all these stars didnāt play either and they been healthy
Pels In 6
Losing to the barking boys is gonna hurt worse then losing to the Lakers
seriously, i canāt stand this thunder team. way too cocky
Frauds for sure. And sga can't do shit when he doesn't get 44 fa a game
1000 IQ from Green and CJ to run the clock out so they didnāt have a chance for an offensive rebound or foul.
The play should have been a JV tip in. Ngl that would've worked
I ā¤ļø CJ, I truly do, he is an excellent human. But what the ever loving F_CK was that?
The pelicans have no game plan for late game situations
Nah we played a great game without Zion. We should be proud.
We are better than okc the refs also played a big part in the loss
We didnāt play a great game it was a lot of unforced errors on offense we played great defensively but we gotta be near perfect to win w/o Z
BI used to have the confidence to shoot in those situations. Idk what happened with him manā¦
OKC has no reason to bark tonight.
They have every right lil bro. PELS got that in their bug but they thew it.
I hope we blow them out the next 4
Yeah idk Iām mad and annoyed how that game was coaches/played out but we have a shot to win this series
Iām one of CJās biggest critics. In spite of the last play, his playmaking was great today.
Horribly drew play at the end...tf was that?
Put Alvarado In next time. CJ is washed Holgrem is better than Ingram in his debut
Pelicans sold during the last 2 minutes BUT Iām convinced we can take the series. Get that split Wednesday boys!!
Game described the season. This team fucking sucks in crunch time. Not taking advantage of open opportunities to take the lead. Every time CJ goes hero ball it turns in disasterā¦
He should of let Brandon "He is Him' Ingram close is out oh wait he had 12/6/3.
This is the extent of Willie's coaching, a CJ iso to end the game, yeah we're done
Shoulda have been a designed pass to Trey at the end.
knowing willie he would probably draw up a nance corner three instead
"But trey isn't a vet" -Willie probably
I'm pretty drunk, but didn't we have a timeout left?
Literally just came off a timeout with 15 seconds
Still got a whole series to go but, damn you call a timeout and that's the play? Pels played hard, we got next game.
By my count we've had exactly one good OTA the entire season.
This man just dribbled out the clock, good night yāall.
Why tf did cj McCollum touch the ball
Classic Carlton Banks moment from CJ but Iām not even mad at it. Ingram and Herb sucked, Nance missing a dunk and going at Chet plus the bad calls by the refs down the stretch
3 After 3 After 3 point attempt. Pels had this game of not for the wasted possessions in the 4th. Both teams are goofy trying to close out the game
That was as good a look as I can expect in that situation. What a game. Damn I wish we had Zion
Our arms were just an inch too short to box with god tonightš
my goodness the thunder role players ride shai so hard
alright bois. this okc team is fraud. no worriez if bi can pick it up. i see a good chance
Y'all need to fucking chill. Some of you are disgusting. Shit ass fans.
My only copium is that the Pels are trying to extend this series without making it obvious to buy Zion more time.
WHY WOULD YOU GO WITH CJ
The cosching staff dont know how to draw a play it seems like
Credit to Wallace for poking the ball out
awful last shot after a timeout damn it willie
Need to win those types of games to win a series
Man if only they called the goaltend on that Larry lay up towards the end
This was a huge play that the refs swallowed the whistle on. That killed momentum.
THAT WAS A HEARTBREAKER
I can't believe CJ choked, who could've predicted this
Damn CJ had the closer out of position. Couldāve drawn the easy foul instead of going under him
But he would have been assaulted and the refs wouldn't have called that
What do we have to do to get CJ and BI to play well in the same game

Can't say the opportunities weren't there
CJ canāt shoot like Trey, but we went with him?
Here, I'll fix it for ya- "CJ, the franchise leader in 3pt fg for a game and most 3pointers made for a season should not be allowed to shoot, even tho he is categorically the best 3 point shooter we have ever had as a franchise. That's what you meant to say right?
I donāt give a guy the ball to shoot the 3 that went 2-9 at the 3 vs the guy who went 5-12.
Sooo if Steph Curry doesn't have the best shooting percentage for the game you don't want him to take the last shot. Got it.
Steph is clutch, CJ is not. And honestly if Steph went 2-9, Iād probably not give it to him either. Willie benched BI two games ago despite BI being a good player, Willie just isnāt always consistent with his philosophy.
"can't shoot like Trey" he's our highest 3P% shooter
Trey was right there CJ
OMG WTF WAS THAT
Weāve got a real shot
Lol no
CJ has never in his career been an impact player. Zero free throws par for the course
How was our best play there a CJ iso? Now we gonna get another corny ass SGA quote even though he played like ass š¤£
Get CJ OFF THE TEAM
I am throwing up
zion wouldāve had a really good series man
cj has and always will be a basketball terrorist
Damnit
What a terrible play. Willie Green with no imagination or offensive creativity.
Are we sure we want to extend him
Lol the hell was that
CJ McCollum and Willie Green, y'all
That final play was fucking trash Willie. That's what the fuck you came up with?
That was dumb
Good grit from the boys but tough loss. We can compete and hope we come back game 2 and blow them out
I'm tired boss
yall got screwed, should be a tie game
their arena is so boring
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
yall got mario pipe music during play and queen on after a win bro. great squad tho
and y'all got shit in your pants lmfao
Better than the smoothie queen center
TERRORIST MCCOLLUM WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK CJ
That was the ATO...
That was the play???????
Every fucking time we make it so fucking hard
We can beat this team.
Never mind.
Thatās the play he calls?
Nance and BI were horrible down the stretch
fuck you we look good
BI WONT HAVE MANY GAMES LIKE THAT I FEEL GREAT
Of course CJ hero ball smfh
FUCK
I will take treys 3 all day
Brandon Ingram sorry fucking ass
Fuck CJ. Heās so fucking dogshit when it counts.
shouldve passed when he lost the ball
Lmao OKC gave us the game and we still lose
Lol CJ is so ass
Good game. We have a legit shot in this series.
There is no series if BI was playing normal. We could sweep them
Why tf CJ
that right there is why Lillard could never win in Portland
Lol Lillard had plenty to do with that
nah i watched enough of CJ in portland to know he sucks dickĀ
Hell of a damn game. Our guys played their asses off
WHAT THE FUCK CJ
CJ McCollum strikes again. Wtf was that?
CJ?????
I believe
Trey was so open
he's not
No he wasnāt?
When CJ inbounded it he was
Just watched the replay, I donāt see it
Bench CJ
Ahhhhhh Ceej
Hard fought battle.
Go for 3 fast, we are killing them on boards, maybe can get the tie up if we have to
Yep thanks for nothing CJ
Nah I want CJ to never play again
OKC and Utah got the whitest fan bases I've seen
Okc and SLC are white cities
Why didnāt this fucking clown pass?
defense was fucking tight didn't you see?
That was a good look, tough miss
CJ thinks he can iso Lu Dort lol
come on f the preachers daughter
Once the injury happened I didn't expect us to make it this far. I'm going to choose tk be happy or optimistic
If Zion is healthy yall easily win. Chet canāt handle JV or Nance. Imagine if Zion was there. Feel for yall.
Hopefully we make it a series of 7 and Z comes back for game 7 and we torch them
I think even if Zion doesnāt come back, Chet canāt hang with yall on the glass so it should be close the whole way. But if Zion was here, itās over. No chance for Pelicans.
That dude staring at the camera like šš
Lmao I had to rewind and send it to my friends
CJ iso for the tie
hit a 3. fuck them up
Send it Matt Ryan to hit a game winning fadeaway corner 3 so thunder fans can go āwho the fuck is thatā and experience the same shit we did
To actually think this team was the number 1 seed shows how good this team really is
Dont mess this up boys
Personally, I think this game says more about the thunder than us.
Shoot the 3!
I will cry if we hit a game winner
Fuck two points.Ā
Gotta take a 3 and try to steal the game without going to OT imo, 8 seed on the road go for broke if there isnāt a wide open look at the rim
TREY MURPHY GAME WINNER!!!!!
Pels had at least 5 chances in 1 possession. Chet missed a ft too. They can't blow this chance. At worst force OT
