I have no idea if I can get this podcast uploaded with the internet issues I'm having but let's try!

We losing to Ohio State like this..? They haven’t been good since Greg Oden 🤔

So about the Pelicans’ pace...

Was not expecting November 13th as the day I'd be recording a segment on the medical staff but, well, here we go...

JJ Redick sits next to Kenrich Williams on the team plane. He's become a fan of his game.

"I think he’s one of the most valuable guys on the team. He has the nickname Kenny Hustle. ... But I think he’s more skilled than just Kenny Hustle."

#Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (right knee soreness) will be game-time decision for Thursday game vs. Clippers, while Lonzo Ball (right adductor strain) has been ruled out and will miss third consecutive game: on.nba.com/34YbKc7 pic.twitter.com/ng0W1mwp02

Brandon Ingram is a game time decision tomorow. Lonzo Ball won’t play.

Lonzo Ball is out for the Clippers matchup tomorrow. Brandon Ingram, who did a lot of things on his own from his routine during Pelicans practice today, will be a game time decision.

Brandon Ingram will be a game-time decision tomorrow, Lonzo Ball will not play, per Alvin Gentry

Lonzo Ball is out tomorrow, per Alvin Gentry.

Ingram said he hyperextended his right knee in Charlotte and felt some pain before the game, which kept him out on Monday.

He said it’s not a big deal and doesn’t expect to keep him out long. Nothing fully known about tomorrow’s game v LAC.

JJ Redick said this is the most freelance offense he’s been in during his NBA career.

Brandon Ingram is participating in individual drills as the media is let in for the end stages of practice.

George Kent and Bill Taylor have restored some of my faith in the US government this morning.

Thank you.

Remember how I recently wrote that Jrue Holiday has almost always shown improvement immediately after the first four games? thebirdwrites.com/2019/11/4/2094…

Look out for yourself. Protect your energy and keep close those around you who actually matter. Be selfish.

Is anyone having Cox internet issues in New Orleans? Is this a weather thing?

Are the Suns actually this good or is Baynes just the best player in the NBA?

Kenrich Williams isn't a great leaper. He's not especially fast. But somehow he manages to be everywhere all at once. nola.com/sports/pelican…

Best dessert/sweet spot in New Orleans?

Holiday still struggling to score efficiently, as evidenced by 15 misses in 21 shot attempts vs Rockets, but w/o Lonzo Ball & Brandon Ingram + Frank Jackson & Nickeil Alexander-Walker were completely ineffective, Jrue was forced to shoulder ALL playmaking. Yet he did well there.

Pelicans are third in pace. Pretty fast. But they apparently want to play at the speed of light. “I think there’s a whole other gear we should be getting to,” Alvin Gentry said.

MRI on Brandon Ingram’s right knee came back negative. He’s day to day. Possibility he plays Thursday, Alvin Gentry says.

Gentry said “there’s a whole other gear” the Pelicans should get into regarding pace.

Thinks the rebounding has hurt some but it the desire to run is not totally ingrained yet mentally.

Gentry says he had a talk with Jrue Holiday about not worrying as much about getting everyone involved. He just want “Jrue to be Jrue"

Gentry said he had a talk with Jrue Holiday today. And said he needs to just focus on being himself.

He feels Jrue is putting a bit too much on himself to get everyone else involved.

Alvin Gentry says Brandon Ingram is day to day with his knee injury. The MRI came back clean. There's a chance he plays Thursday

Gentry says Brandon Ingram (knee) is day to day. The MRI came back clean. He didn’t practice today.

Opening up to the REAL people in your life will help you with every decision you ever needed to make.

James Harden put on another show against the short-handed Pelicans last night to drop NOLA to 2-8.

Me and my guy @Kelly Iko chopped it up after the game about where the Rockets and Pelicans stand after 10 games. Here are some of our thoughts: theathletic.com/1370548/2019/1…

I’ve got to say it’s disheartening driving my son to school and commonly seeing cars with shattered windows on the street.

I have no idea what @NOPDNews can do about it, but the car break-ins are so frequent it’s hardly even worth a second thought.

JJ Redick on what #Pelicans need to improve to get more wins: "A level of consistency. (We need to) control what we can control: Defensive rebounds, turnovers, fouling. We're giving up a large chunk of points just on that stuff."

Alvin Gentry said #Pelicans won't know more about Brandon Ingram's status for Thursday vs. Clippers until tomorrow. New Orleans is expected to practice the next two days

Great @DavidGrunfeld shot of Kenrich Williams kicking it to JJ Redick for a four-point play. pic.twitter.com/8GgkuBY3zX

Pelicans are 2-8. They're banged up. And the upcoming schedule offers little relief.

"We can't feel sorry for ourselves," Alvin Gentry said.
