Pelicans down 10. Really rooting for them to come back but I think this is an easy Lakers win now

Winner of the LA-NO matchup gets the right to be swept by DEN right? Or is my matchup wrong?

I don't care if Nola gets swept as long as they beat the Lakers.

You'd rather potentially miss the playoffs than play Denver?

I hope Zion is okay. Been in the locker room since 3+ minutes and the game is about over now.

He was playing his best game of maybe his career too with 40pts, that sucks.

Nah I think that's silly.. especially if you're the Pelicans who can easily lose to those teams.. maybe not having Zion if he's injured

Sucks that Pelican lost.

CZ Eddie · Post #1034 » by **CZ Eddie** » Wed Apr 17, 2024 2:17 am

It's weird seeing GSW in the play-ins after a mostly healthy year

ORLMagicGirl15 · Post #1035 » by **ORLMagicGirl15** » Wed Apr 17, 2024 2:18 am

Must be so nice to know that no matter how many 3s Keegan make the Warriors have two players that can match him. Crazy!!!

Yeah maybe....im leaning towards that as well. But i think they just arent in desperation mode yet so they really arent giving it a 110% except for Zion...

Maybe in the back of their minds their physicality is more advantageous in facing a "thinner" OKC.

The winner of that would play OKC. Yes, the Pelicans would have a much better chance against them. But without Zion, they aren't getting through the GS/Kings game

I think Zion will be good to go... heres hoping

Its annoying that GS doesn't ever get a real C. Zero inside presence to take pressure off the perimeter
