Watched Jimmer and the Pelicans defeat the Hawks tonight, to end the 5th longest win streak in NBA history.
Jimmer had a lot of minutes tonight. We saw both the good and the bad.
The bad:
1. Jimmer was targeted on D, and had a really hard time staying in front of Schroder. They were doing iso on Jimmer and it wasn't pretty.
2. Jimmer turned the ball over. He had 3 turnovers at the top of the key trying to make basic short passes that were blocked. He just looked overmatched.
3. Jimmer struggled to bring the ball up the floor against Schroder's full court pressure. By the time he got the ball up the floor, there wasn't much time left on the shot clock.
The good:
1. He hit a couple of 3s. 10 points total.
2. He had 3 assists.
Jimmer gave up as many points as he scored, plus maybe a few more. But the coach trusted him with 21 minutes in a big game, so that's great for Jimmer.
