Michael and I talk the coming Pondexter trade and Michael talks about how he thinks it sets up another trade after that. Then I lay out some numbers about the Pelicans Offense, discussing just why the team is actually pretty good at that end. I think the answer will surprise you.
Then we talk about the games, how annoying Andre Miller is, and preview the upcoming week of road games.

“What, are we gonna play Jimmer 25 minutes?”
Yeah, that would be a disaster! He might go off for 14 points and make a guy like Isaiah Thomas go 2 for 10 like he did when he got 20 min vs Phoenix! Or he’ll bring the team back from double digits and into overtime vs San Antonio, or help destroy Houston.
Yeah, when Jimmer gets 20+ min a night on this team, we all know disaster strikes. Can’t let that happen again. No way. Put Mekel in…anyone, just keep Jimmer on the bench.
I heard a stomach growl on this podcast. Get some food
SamuelAdamScott Must have been McNamara.
ilumino Yup, those are the 3 games Jimmer played more than 20 minutes in this season. That isn’t a huge sample size.
Also, one could easily say that Jimmer got big minutes in those games because he was playing well. Instead of saying, Jimmer played well because he got big minutes.
In short, you’ve noticed a relationship between 2 things over 3 games. That might be enough to draw strong and/or snarky conclusions.

The only conclusion I’m drawing is that Jimmer played very well when giving 20+ minutes a night. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s hardly time to freak out that he might be drawing minutes like this again.
Rivers consistently got 20 min a night for most of his 3 years with the Pels, and he looked like garbage the whole time. Jimmer does great when he gets to do it just 3 times (not including his stellar preseason) and some people are having heart trauma because he might play these minutes again.
Don’t worry though, I’d put money on Monty finding some excuse…any excuse to make sure he maintains Jimmer’s role as humble cheerleader on the sidelines.
ilumino Nicks65 If Rivers looked like garbage “the whole time”, how would you describe Jimmer’s play besides the 3 games you mentioned?

Besides the 3 games I mentioned, and comparing career stats, Jimmer eats Austin’s lunch. Sure you want to go there?
SamuelAdamScott Hungry for a backup PG!!
