Pregame
I've said it before, and I will say it again, if we had Quin Snyder as our coach we would be deadly. That is a good coach right there.
Rudy Gobert always seemed to give AD a bit of trouble. No Gobert should mean he feasts. Let's get a win.
Rodney Hood is out. Raul Neto is questionable
Utah is lucky when it comes to coaching
I don’t like Joe Ingles and I think he’s a dirty player. Let’s go, Pels!
Jerebko is bbq chicken for AD
Anthony Davis should look to feast on Jerebko all night long
How can Mitchell be a rook I thought he was getting paid in Louisville
Gamethread
Pels decided not to guard Mitchell tonight apparently
8-0 run in 0:57? Good job calling timeout before it got to 20-0 lol.
Donovan Mitchell is gonna be a real scorer
Pelicans basketball: defense optional
This Mitchell guy, my goodness. Get him in foul trouble or something.
Okay, Allen Vs Jerebko 1v1 in the low post is a no thanks. Less of that.
I like how Utah is apparently playing perfect D
Our defense either sucks or teams just have career nights shooting against us.. I'm gonna go with a little of both but our D sucks!
So are we just gonna get called for everything while our guys have to get mauled what in the actual hell does this team have to do
Damn Mitchell is a beast
How was that not a walk by ingles seriously dude was moving every foot lmao
Rondo just got a rebound then passed the ball DIRECTLY to a jazz player
17-2 run to end the first half against this well coached Jazz team is no joke
The Jazz drafted Mitchell with Gordon Hayward (sticking around) in mind. The Jazz have always lacked a legit 2nd scorer, and Mitchell was set to be that guy. It looks like the Jazz could still use Hayward, but Mitchell is looking to be more than what the Jazz bargained for.
this fkn mitchell kid is ridiculous man
These dudes are getting to the rim effortlessly almost every possession while every shot we take looks like a struggle in comparison.
Mitchell is good but holy crap we're making him look like Kobe.
Boogie disinterested in guarding Favors
Cousins takes the dumbest shots.
Boogie what are you doing???? Single handedly brought Utah back in it
donovan mitchell is apparently the best basketball player in history.
Boogie plays defense like a chair
I would love to get Rodney Hood from the Jazz. Kid would fit perfectly here and they have less of a need for him now with Mitchel. They could use a young talented big.. Diallo and a pick for Hood would be amazing!
Sometimes I wonder if they’ve got Boogie’s on some kinda new meds or something. You see a lot of the same bad body language, but he seems so much more mellow. None of the fire that use to spark his game.
Man Donovan is annoying but I can't even hate. Dude's clutch
Yeah Mitchell just blows right by.moore. they just drag jrue through screens when he is on him.
Just drooling all over Mitchell. Nothing too crazy.
I an so sick of unknown players or rookies getting calks that ad and boogie should be getting on the daily and they get nothing
uh oh. the worst injuries are the ones where there is no contact. That's something popping or tearing or... those are the ones that kill you. groin? hip flexor?
10 minutes of the Iso Cousins show I'm excited
Yes, once AD went down the game ended. We aren't a team built to beat a team like Utah on the road without AD. I promise. I wouldn't have said so if it wasn't true. It's a tough loss but this team just has horrid luck
Crap, that is not good. Nothing happens to cause that kind of pain. Non-contact ***** is terrible and he can't even stand.
I swear AD is made of toilet paper
What on earth could have possibly happened? There was no contact, and he was barely moving.
AD is as soft as baby poo
How are we making this many threes and aren't up by 12 is why this team is going to be a 8 seed
We are witnessing all time great NBA history 3 point shooting from Miller! This kids stroke has been incredible!
Mitchell playing really well for the Jazz, he's gonna be something special. That said, shame his career night is going to come on a loss.
Mitchell is reminding me of when Booker was giving us hell last year.
how the hell can we not guard this rookie?
Defense was absolute rubbish,.Donovan Mitchell just strolled his way in all night. And then go down other end and we're throwing up step back threes? Zzzzzz
so that's 61pts from Burks and Mitchell.
this is what nightmares are made of
allowing Michael Jordan or whoever that 45 guy they made look like MJ was continually drive to the basket unchallenged.
So Mitchell's previous career high was 28 points on 21 shots Today he has 39 on 25 shots.
Un ****ing believable. How do you let a rookie do this to you? You're really going to let a rookie score 40 points on you? Why is Jrue not guarding him? Why is no one even attempting to protect the rim? You''re just letting him do whatever he want. ****ing clowns.
why can't we draft a donovan mitchell?
He isn't anymore now that our pathetic defense granted him the title of "First rookie to score 40+ since Blake Griffin in 2011". Now he'll be the talk of every sports segment in America for the next 18 hours while the "AD should demand a trade to Boston" "NO should trade Boogie and blow it up" takes will be coming back out in full circle to greet us.
Postgame
So we’re basically the Sacramento Kings now...with a crap coach?
Just wanted to stop in and say Gentry sucks dick. All this talent and probably gonna miss the playoffs yet again.
Didn't watch the game and I don't know the score, but if we're talking about trading AD, I'm guessing we lost yet again
Defense so trash it makes Donovan Mitchell look like prime DWade. This game should have been sealed before AD left with Hood, Gobert, and everyone else they had injured out.
This has to be the most frustrating game I’ve watched as a pelicans fan. Mitchell is good but wow what are we doing to try and stop him? It’s been the same damn play every time, he’s just playing behind the screen looking for the pull up 3, we are just letting him shoot from out there. Boogies shot selection has been poor since AD left and we needed him to step up. God damn. 16 point lead blown to the frickin Jazz without Gobert and Hood. Again, Gentry doesn’t call TOs until they go on a 10-0 run.
FML... I stop watching the game for 10 mins. to clean some stuff up, and we go from a lead to Pels being down and Davis being hurt.
Donovan Mitchell, the 13th pick of the 2017 NBA Draft — who was traded (!!!) by the Nuggets to the Jazz, scored 41 points, setting a new Utah franchise scoring record for a rookie which put him in some other rather elite company.
Active NBA players who had 40-plus-point games as a rookie: LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, Eric Gordon, Steph Curry, Blake Griffin and Donovan Mitchell
