Like I said, Jack is now playing on another gear/level.

what the? of course they stole the ball. They saw the play action already. it was scissor with THJ recieving the inbound pass.
why not change up or proceed to the other potion on the sideline play? WTF
Hornacek's fault here is resting the starters to start the fourth. iknow its pretty standard but it was our atrocious bench vs the pel's first unit.
Coach should start the 4th with out big guns to build more cushion and take out the game.

I don't usually get on the refs much, but the end of regulation play was a joke. I mean, it helped the Knicks so I shouldn't complain but that was just silly. Hardaway literally grabs Anthony Davis's arm on a layup, as in the open as possible and it is not called. They showed the refs talking at the next timeout and I guess they agreed to just swallow the whistle 'cause then Davis mauls KP on a shot then they go back the other way and Davis is bumped on a layup, again so obvious and they don't call it.Ari_Ingus wrote:Just like the refs in NBA
I always say I want the game to be played out in the end not see the refs decide it but when they are that obvious and that flagrant you gotta make calls.
After that, in overtime it just got ridiculous.

Lots of standing around, no flow what so ever then forced shots. The refs swallowed the whistle so you had to go strong. The Pelicans manhandled them around the hoops and no one could hit an outside shot.taowave wrote:We scored 4 points in the last 4:30??
What happened ???
The Pelicans started using Cousins at the top feeding Davis down low, that was effective. Then Cousins took the ball inside on his own a few times and was just too strong to handle.

Up 14 to start the fourth at home and blow it. What else would you expect? They're competing but when crunch time comes this team just tucks its tail between its legs and runs away. Just awful. Equal if not worse than the Chicago loss.
No longer sick and tired that Kurt wasn't hired.
