Brown has just killed us tonight with all these missed 3s.

Very true. I'm watching my first game live this season...of course, it's one we weren't likely to win. I've loved Brown Jr.'s game this season, but he's not making his shots tonight. Subpar night for Rudy too. Nice to have both JMacs back though!

Yep very hard product to watch to. Somehow I made it through. Good battle tonight and good see McDaniels back on the floor.

Games was over when we were in the penalty with 9 minutes to go in the third quarter from some pretty weak foul calls going against us. Pelicans attempted 40 free throws tonight vs our 19. Your not going to win games with that differential on the road.
I was expecting us to lose tonight so it's all good, but man that was a painful game to watch with all the home biased foul calls, shot clock balls up and bad shooting.

I missed the game tonight, but I’m not surprised by the result. Nice to have Jaden back, but I noticed he had only 3 rebounds in 27 minutes. He’s averaging 2.2 rebounds so far this season and 3.8 in his career. At some point, we have to acknowledge those low rebounding numbers are not acceptable at the SF position, especially from a player with a nearly 9’0 standing reach. He doesn’t have to run the offense, bring the ball up, or be a ball-dominate scorer. He just has to continue playing stellar defense, hit open perimeter shots , and rebound. So far, he’s been doing two of those three. He has to do all three.

The Wolves still have the best record in the Association, but taking the Pels minus the 3 1/2 points was easy money last night. Our highest scorer wasn't going to play, the Pels are healthy and very good, and they were ultra-motivated after getting embarrassed by the Lakers in Vegas. I would have liked to see better games from Brown Jr. and Rudy, but overall last night was not a surprise. The good news of seeing both JMacs coming back and looking healthy more than offset this loss for me. Now let's get Ant back and beat the Mavs Thursday.

It's painful to see the Lakers surge like this with two of our throwaways starting for them - DLO and Prince. I guess LeBron and AD are THAT good. Frustrating.
