They must've had some indisputable evidence because I find it hard to believe he managed to sell 2,800 tickets during those awful seasons.
That's pretty miraculous in itself.

The only excuse I'll make has nothing to do with the who's healthy or who's missing. It's the fact that the key guys we are playing are getting 3 fouls early in the 2nd quarter. That the Pels have 24 FTs at halftime and the Suns have 4 or 5. If you look at points in the paint, it's not like the Suns are just shooting jump shots.
This is the playoffs. The physicality changes. Refs are more prone to let guys play and not blow their whistle. Yet the Pelicans can play playoff physicality without foul calls and the Suns are getting called non-stop for fouls. I guarantee you if Bridges was riding CJ or Ingram up the court, there would be an instant foul called.
They've thrown us out of sync, for sure. They are playing with swagger. Kudos for the Pelicans making this a legit series. It just needs be refereed equally is all I'm asking. You can't play the same effort level of defense when you're getting whistled non stop.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton
