This is a scorching hot jazz team and we are getting into must win territory if we expect to still make the playoffs.


Have to take control of the season series with them for sure. Games like this are gonna matter in April


So how many points is Donovan Mitchell gonna torch us for tonight?


We’re gunna get destroyed either way. Jazz are streaking like crazy. Spida boy already kills us, now they’ve got Gobert who always shuts down AD and Rubio is averaging like 20-5-7 on 55-60-75 over their latest winning streak.


They had Jrue on the block against Gobert... Hope that's not a tactic we run all game


Even when Rondo hits jumpers I cringe. Just seeing him rise up for a j triggers an impulsive disgust in me.


Refs, just cause you think Rubio is handsome doesn't mean you have to give him calls


Anyone want to play defense? Nah


Rubio blows by Rondo every posession.


Rubio is destroying rondo, lord have mercy.



They have so many hands in the lane that when we try to pass around Gobert they are getting so many deflections.



**** can we please not get blown out? AD is scared to shoot with Rudy on him. I get he’s a great defender but cmon man



What’s up with the Jazz tonight. Can’t they miss a shot or two from behind the arc…..


Just bench Rondo and start Miller please I beg of you


Snyder is definitely in the mob


Rondo plays defense like my grandmother


The Jazz hasn’t missed a step after losing Hayward to FA. If anything they look better. But they have had to deal with injuries like other teams. Pretty impressive job by coach Quinn

Maybe guard Hood


Hood legit makes everything against the Pels


why oh why do we constantly leave good 3pt shooters way open


Our defense is pretty bad but Jesus Christ they don’t miss anything


They're absolutely killing us with the pick and roll lol


Joe ingles is a dog. Might need to try and contest his shots.


This team needs Rodney Hood.. dude is a beast


Hood is trying to show the Pelicans they need to come get him!


First time I've ever seen a team intentionally not guard hood


****ing 10/11 from 3 for Utah...wtf. I.... what... what is happening


Rubio is splashing 3s? That can't stand. But they're getting open looks way too easily.


We can’t keep them in front of us on defense and we have no shot blocking


I'm so utterly sick of seeing the other team hitting a three with 2 seconds or less on the clock. It's happened 85 times this season


I just wish 1 game we would be the team that got hot from 3 instead of the other team...


Quin Snyder looks like he would be a serial killer from Dexter.


Jesus this team is frustrating to watch. Just continuous poor decisions and effort on both ends of the court.


I hate games like this. It's literally impossible to win when the other team is this hot.


“Hmmm we got back into the game by driving to the basket, which in turn opened up threes. But wait, it’s the third quarter! Only contested threes and turnovers are acceptable!” I’m just about done with this team for the year man. This **** is ****ing depressing.


Joe ingles kills the pelicans . Every single game


How does Ingles keep getting into the lane unguarded?


Every possession without fail is a perimeter drive by the Jazz. Then no-one goes to the ball handler. It's pathetic. They just give up and hope for a miss.


I wish I could play against the Pels in the 3rd. I'd look like Kobe.


Its so bad people stand 5 feet away from Rondo daring him to shoot. My god man make the damn mid range


We have made the same Amount of 3s that Utah has missed. 1.


Of course Hood hit that. And it's good.


I hate Joel Ingles and Hood.


Uhhh....Rondo is heating up???


I appreciate those threes from Rondo but wow the fact that he put us in a hole so bad we needed Rajon Rondo to hit threes at that pace to get us back in it is disgusting


Joe Ingles again


If you can't hold Utah under 70 in a half you don't deserve to make the playoffs. That simple really


We scored 64 points in a half.... And are losing by 6.


Why does Rondo shoot free throws like Shaq


We're out here missing layups and they're shooting 70 percent from 3


We’re playing right into Utah’s hands. Keep chucking


Why do we always decide to cosplay Golden State for 15 minutes a game? Just all agreeing that we'll only shoot threes for 10 minutes.


The Pels need Hood! One of my favorite players for this team. Man he would be such a good fit here


Move the pels to Seattle


AD is not in it tonight and the defense is awful. AND utah can't miss.


We got Miritic and I don't even see him in the mix. Brilliant use of talent Gentry.


at least i picked the yellow car


I thought once the clippers traded Blake we would be a shoe in. But the Jazz look great and catch us


Hood is killing us!


Yet I was told people would take Moore over Hood!? Lmao!! Hood is a game changer..


Gentry starts next game with a lineup of Jrue's 1 year old daughter, Boogie's two kids, and Clark/Rondo at PF and C.


Gobert >>>>>>AD


Did Davis score the whole second half lol trashhhh


WTF is this? Jazz is taking our spot in the playoffs... Balanced roster, hungry young star, with a coach that compliments it all. I wouldn't be shocked if it happens.


Should have traded the 1st for Favors (the player, not sexual ones)


Hey, at least we didn't lose to the Jazz worse than Golden State did.


New Orleans Patheticans


Not gonna lie, this was a gut punch type of game. I think I'm ready to clean house after this one.


The theme in the #Pelicans locker room seems to be that the Jazz played really well and ther wasn’t much NOLA could do. That is very depressing to read.


I'm not saying that the Jazz are going to take our playoff spot, but Donavan Mitchell is having a CP3 type rookie year where if the Jazz miss the playoffs it will be because they are one game out. That kid is the truth.


This is not what I wanted to see against a sub .500 team. I'll be surprised if we win any of the next 3 games. I'm so tired. I wish these guys cared at all.


We reach 100 points with 5+ left in the 4th and we’re getting blown out. Pathetic.


Was at the game tonight..my mistake. The Jazz were tougher. The Jazz were more disciplined. The Jazz played hard on every defensive series. The Jazz ran hard cuts and set hard picks on offense. The Pels were a disorganized mess. The far more deserving team with the far better coach won.. On the first five offensive possessions of the second half, the Pels took (and missed) four lazy threes. No visible signs of player or ball movement. Just heaves And on defense, it is not good when you give up 60 points in the lane and you give up a ton of wide open threes. Yes, the Jazz played great..but we folded our tents.


Seriously, incredibly embarrassed to be a Pelicans fan...


Bye bye, playoffs.


Utah converted 12 of its first 16 3-point attempts and shot better than 60 percent from the field until midway through the third quarter. Rodney Hood, whom the Jazz are openly shopping on the trade market, came off the bench to score a game-high 30 points in just 27 minutes.


Guys get wide open shots to start the game. Then they get a rhythm established and can go from there. Now you’re playing from behind, the shooters can pump fake, counter, etc. Also how many wide open layups did they give up cause the Big wouldn’t or couldn’t leave the roll man? Hood specifically eviscerated us by doing this.


I'm not even mad. I'm just ****ing depressed. Basketball is all I care about and all it ****ing does it hurt me. We're just sitting here watching a franchise waste one of the best talents in the history of basketball. Dude is about to miss the playoffs for the 5th time in his 6th year career because nobody around him can ball consistently.


We just gave up 133 points to the ****ing Jazz at home. At this point I don’t even want to squeeze into the playoffs. Imagine how bad Golden State would embarrass us on a national stage... **** man


This team is basically the Western Conference Cavs; not even pretending to give a **** on D, impotent coach using woefully undersized lineups that do nothing but chuck 3s, low IQ boneheaded decision making, desperately reliant on their superstar to cover for all their deficiencies and elevate them to the contender status they aren't actually built for. Problem is AD, great as he is, isn't Lebron James, and worse he looks like he barely gives more of a **** than him, who's all but mentally checked out from Cleveland already.
 
So. I know Ive had my issues with Quinn but my goodness, thank god we dont have Alvin Gentry as coach, dude is woeful, I have no idea why he is a coach is this league.

Also, Davis aint ****!! Talented sure but he isnt a winner and cant lead a team. He just gave up tonight and I couldnt count the times Ive seen him do that over his career. Guys give him a break because "he has no talent around him" but come on... lead by mother ****ing example!

Rant over.

Go Jazz.
 
I kind of feel bad for them. With Cousins out they can't compete now or even next season and they really don't have any young talent for the future.
 
For all you guys criticizing AD, i would love it if the Jazz could sign him as a FA. Mitchell, Gobert, Rubio, AD, Ingles would be a team tough to beat.

Donovan never quits. Jazz need to surround him with guys of varying talents that have the same mindset.

No doubt. I’m not going to criticize the guy for being in a ****** professional situation. With that said. . . I’m really glad that Rudy and Donovan don’t allow negative circumstances stifle their competitive natures.
 
I love how the Jazz just completely demoralizes the other teams and their fan base.

At the same time, it's kind of an insult. They're basically saying "if we lose to the Jazz, we're the worst team ever." Like losing to a high school team or something.
