This multidimensionality is why Trey's gravity is more consistent than Z's.

The crux, IMO, of this action is Trey's uniqueness The guy is 1 of 1 in his ability to stretch the floor while playing above the rim. Being able stretch the floor horizontally and vertically is just unfair stuff

You can tell homie is West African based on how he affirms his kids

Such a great song

Y’ALL PUT BOBBY PORTIS’ BUNK ASS IN THE 3 POINT SHOOTOUT OVER TREY, @nba.com! Eliminated with 11!

If Steph wasn't around, Dame & Klay would be hailed as co-equals in shooting of their generation. Dame would have the edge too, just bc of the insane range.

Tubi is kind of having the other services' lunch

Derik Queen displaying his chippy behavior even in an exhibition game. You love to see it.

This is a repeated thing & I have no idea why it persists. Pushing people MENTALLY is more fruitful in sports coaching than physical exhaustion. You can push them physically in a safe manner & teach them good pain vs bad pain. Stamina drills are great. This rises to the level of negligence.

Thinking of Jon Bellion today bum dede bum bum

Specifically important to discuss this as the Culver City gaffe shows we should apply more criticism to the narratives fed to us. They always seem very topical (or maybe those people are just so predictable)

CP is going into the HoF. I'm sad that this is how they treat him, but he retires a legend. I hope he wins a ton as a coach.

It's twitter & youtube mainly. As long as outrage tourism remains a valid way to pay rent, people will continue with it. There's a commonality among most of the most noxious takes & who has them. For the most part, it's not people who engage with the art, it's people who want engagement from the art

Case and point: LBJ swung it to an open Vando in the corner. He pump faked nothing, handed it back to LBJ and hoped he made something outta nothing. That annoys me to no end. I’ll take the misses, believing they’ll be makes, than the record scratches.

Someone get SVG a lozenge

Remember to keep the main thing the main thing, y'all.

I’ve watched the first 4 minutes of MIA v NOLA and the Pelicans just got punked. Trey was thrown to the ground 4x, Bey hits the deck, all the wings and bigs were moved for offensive rebounds. The game was lost in 4 minutes, because the Heat knew they could have their way with them.

Honestly, can relate to the dog lmao

#Pelicans  Trey Murphy has been shooting “lights out.” Too bad NBA didn't notice and chose a few others over him in 3-point contest. www.nola.com/sports/pelic...

Pels put forward a valiant effort this game, but the Heat are just in a different echelon.

Wow, this is relatively new, but it seems like the Pels can string together runs of high level play. This mostly centers around Saddiq (& formerly Jose) bailing out the team, but suddenly the team is operating like a high octane machine. More consistent strings of that, the better they become.

Seems like Queen is starting to find his shot from deep. Vital for him.

Right now the Heat have gotten 18 more scoring opportunities than the Pelicans due to a combination of rebounding and turnovers. Almost impossible to win a game when you lose the possession battle that badly

Relatable. I've put thousands of hours into dozens of games & never finished them.

Pelicans trail Heat 58-55 at halftime. Nice recovery by Nola as Miami was on verge of building double digit lead after Pels led 46-42 with 4:19 to go in first half. Neither team hitting from deep. NOP: 4-16; MIA: 7-27. Zion Williamson: 14 PTS Trey Murphy: 13 PTS, 5 AST Jeremiah Fears: 9 PTS, 5 REB

Trey has some equity with his passing. His handle limits the ceiling with that, but I genuinely think Trey has another gear he could hit with his passing if he really works on it.

Jaime Jacquez taking the spin move title from Pascal

Fears being on the bench has done wonders for him. Without being the lead guard & having to organize the entire O by himself, he can do what he does best, which is attack openings & move the ball. He also grew up playing the 2 guard next to his brother, so he's used to this role over lead guard

BRYCE WITH THE LOB TOUCH ASSIST LMAOOOOOOOOO

I haven't tracked this at all, but just based on vibes, with the ball in his hands he's top 7 in the league wrt pure foot speed.

This game will be another example of how Looney should at least get some spot minutes to supplement the big rotation when Queen is having a bad game & Karlo's skills aren't completely necessary

Z woke up in the second lol

With no Yves, you need Karlo & Looney to try to do what they do best. Looney has to do the Herb plays when Herb isn't in & Karlo HAS to get boards.

The Pelicans have 4 points. The Heat have 5 points off of 3 Pelicans turnovers.

Importantly, the Spurs know when to move on! That's huge part of roster building. The Pelicans handed Hawkins his 4th year deal for no reason.

Be sure to tune in to the next Inside New Orleans Sports with Eric Asher as @fearthebrown.bsky.social and I talked everything Pelicans. For dates/times, please see the attached image below. Thanks!

Gayle Benson and the Pelicans organization recognize Jeremiah Fears and Derik Queen for being selected to the 2026 Rising Stars event before tonight’s game against the Heat in the Smoothie King Center.

Pelicans against the heat, I expect this to be a big Yves & Bryce (if he plays) game. Z always will demand defensive attention, but if Trey takes his anger out at his disrespect on the court, he should show out & keep the Heat honest.

RIP to someone who gave me a lot of joy through their work. May his memory be a blessing to everyone who he has brought joy to.

I've admired a lot of what Hayes has been doing recently but this is laughable. If AI truly was that profitable, wouldn't they replace TV, music, & movies first? Instead of shelling out 100s of Ms on talent, they'd just prompt it. Lol. Once we get an AI film winning an academy award, I'll believe it

Seven games, wow. They hate people leaving the bench. Unrelated, I wonder if this is the longest suspension for the Charlotte players in their careers. Not as if anything else has happened that could warrant this type of punishment. Hmmmm....

as a "geographer" in my day job this is hilarious to me lmao. there's some AI tools I use for some calculations, but AI is so far away from being able to understand the data. in terms of code & some deliverables, AI will change that, but that's only a part of my job.

Pelicans with Trey on the floor: 4.4 points per 100 possessions better Raptors with Ingram on the floor: 4.9 points per 100 possessions worse

man that wizards lawsuit yeeeesh

Trying my hand at Shadowverse, will report back with results.

Why? Lmao. If dancing is how he psyches himself up to make those movement shots he sinks, why do you care? No more ridiculous of a ritual than the stuff any player does. Just hating on things you don't understand, couldn't be me

One guy is going to his 2nd All Star game (salute) the other can’t get an invite to the weekend’s festivities. There has never been a better endorsement to go play in the East than this.

Trey at least deserved an honorable mention. He's been all-star good this year.

now if we can get him to brush his hair, that'll be a flawless victory

Since Herb Jones returned on 1/23, the Pelicans are: - 9th on offense - 15th on defense - 13th in net rating. But wait, there's more. In the JB era, the Pelicans are 10-10 when Herb Jones plays, 3-20 when he doesn't. Insanely impactful player.
