[Game] New Orleans Pelicans @ Kings, 1-7-24 3PM PST/6PM EST

[The_Jamal]

Ohhh great little 2-man game pass from Duarte to Domas for an easy dunk

 

[Hoovtrain]

Kings just do not matchup well with these guys

 

[The_Jamal]

I don't know why, but we just look a step too slow vs NOP.

 

[Caccia]

It looks like the bench is going to have to rescue the starters in this one.

 

[The_Jamal]

Kings just do not matchup well with these guys

Yeah they have one of the best answers in the NBA to Fox with Herb Jones and honestly one of the best answers to Domas and his physicality with Jval. And just an army of wing shooters, which we just don't defend well.

 

[The_Jamal]

So stupid, Ingram just nailing contested mid-range jumpers all day while we brick open 3's.

 

[HndsmCelt]

I'm not sure like the smaller lineup but maybe it'll match their subs

 

[KF8]

What is this.. pelicans just cant miss... and even when they do kings cant get a rebound

 

[The_Jamal]

I can't be too mad at the defense. We're contesting basically all these and they're draining them

 

[Kingz19]

Terrible. Not getting many good shots on offense and not any stops.

And the rebounding has disappeared as well

 

[iowamcnabb]

Yeh not a great start but try to stay close and let them cool down

 

[The_Jamal]

And of course, Hawkins, the only wide open shot they've gotten all quarter, he bricks.

 

[HndsmCelt]

What is this.. pelicans just cant miss... and even when they do kings cant get a rebound

Orlando left their magic penny in the visitors training room.

 

[SacTownKid]

This Pels team is one of the potential playoff preview teams that shows you where you are at. The Kings struggle to score against them. Looks a lot like the playoff series against the Warriors.

 

[Kingz19]

Sasha is up

 

[Caccia]

Sasha coming in.

Oh, yes! Nice dime from Domantas.

And another.

 

[The_Jamal]

EZ SASHA

 

[The_Jamal]

OOOOOOo Sasha and Domas!

 

[The_Jamal]

jesus Davion. Terrible

 

[Tetsujin]

lol Davion couldn’t have shot that worse if he tried

 

[Kingz19]

Domas to Sasha

Almost like bringing Sasha didn’t make sense if you didn’t plan on playing him with Sabonis

And a heinous airball by Davion

 

[SacTownKid]

Sasha looking like he's going to make a point tonight. Very intent.

 

[KF8]

pelican's strategy should just be let davion shoot the 3.

 

[SLAB]

jesus Davion. Terrible

Shocker.

 

[The_Jamal]

How does he get that off? Christ.

Pelicans getting pretty lucky so far with this 33. I don't think we're playing badly, they're just hitting contested jumper after contested jumper

 

[Tetsujin]

Nance bouncing the ball off his own foot and somehow scoring it anyways as the buzzer sounds sums up that first quarter perfectly.

 

[SLAB]

I’m so annoyed by the announce team already. ::mute:;

I didn’t think that was good on Live. Looks like it is tho. Dang

 

[HndsmCelt]

I like seeing Sasha and Kessler out there

 

[KF8]

Just don't let the lead ballon to 20 by half and we'll consider it a win. Kings need to regroup and perhaps the pelicans will cool off.

 

[The_Jamal]

Shocker.

Pretty over Davion. Time to turn this back over to Keon and let him develop.
