Play-in games discussion

[Tetsujin]

Pels finally realized Ingram was playing terribly and took him off the floor. They immediately go on a run to make it a game.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Pellies LFG!

 

[Tetsujin]

Zion having a huuuge game. Also may have hurt himself scoring on AD

 

[hrdboild]

Wow! I've been critical of Zion in the past but he is bringing it tonight.

 

[Tetsujin]

Zion going to the locker room. Did he hurt his foot again?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Would potentially be huge for the Kings, if New Orleans pulls off this comeback

Gonna be tough for them with CJ terrible and Zion hurt.

Lakers 20-23 FT
Pelicans 10-13 FT

so far

Ugh

 

[Tetsujin]

Pels do know that’s D’Angelo Russell and not Russell Westbrook, right?

The officiating has looked just fine

I didn’t say it wasn’t. Was simply posting the FT differential which once again has the Lakers with a big advantage.

 

[captain bill]

If Pels don't pull this off we're screwed

The narrative is that the Lakers always benefit from more free throws, because they get favored by the league and officials. I haven't seen that this game

Fair enough. Admittedly, I’ve only watched since start of 4th and I’d agree with your assessment.

 

[captain bill]

Refs just bailed out AD with the game on the line, surprise

 

[Tetsujin]

Welp New Orleans it is then. Potentially Zionless but still

To be fair, he was actually fouled that time.

 

[ick300]

First game no surprise ….
LA are trough for the 7th …

 

[Tetsujin]

Reggie acting like Ingram hasn’t been offensively terrible tonight.

 

[ick300]

well …. Against us seems they can out their G squad and someone will make the game of his life …

CJ saving all his three pointers for us.

 

[ick300]

Btw we might joke with them , hate them but LA just showed Kings how to close games like this ….
11 straight FT made in the last minutes …. Absolutely no chance for some lucky 3pt shot

 

[Shaqfuey]

I can only speculate, but looked like Zion grabbed his abdomen. Maybe a pulled muscle? If Kings can get to Friday, it may be a hobbled Pelicans

 

[ick300]

CJ saving all his three pointers for us.

Haha , sad but true

 

[hrdboild]

Divine intervention saves the Lakers. Zion was destroying them before he had to leave the game. At least they're Denver's problem now.

No other team is getting to the line this much in the first place, though you aren’t wrong.

going to the line is another story … But making 11 in a row when matters the most …

 

[206Fan]

Doesn’t matter what happens tonight because we’d get curb stomped by the Pelicans

 

[NewArena]

Let’s freaking go!!!!! Light every beam there is to LIGHT!!!
