Time to pull the plug on this one. Bad back to back loss, just could not get anything to fall at all. Rest Fox and Sabonis and give the end of the bench some run.

The second game in a B2B game is always tough. Pelicans are playing well.

Oh well, dust yourselves off and move onto the next one. You don't let them do that twice in a row.

glad I didn't see this one, but after the streak and the 4 in 6 nights, a letdown could be in order

hope we get one of the next two, and a 4-2 road trip with the difficulty presented would be nice.

hopefully not a lot of injuries

I have to say if Zion manages to focus on basketball (e.g. limits his off-court shenanigans to a minimum) and rights the ship when it comes to his body, dude is an unstoppable force. The Kings had zero answers against him. The only thing we did good against him is when Duarte helped as the secondary defender and stripped the ball. Not sure why the Kings didn’t do more of that yesterday. Hopefully, we see more of that secondary help in the next game.

New Orleans have pretty good pieces. Not sure why they aren’t more in the discussion as legitimate playoff contenders.

I'm a Pels fan. They honestly don't deserve any mention until they can prove to stay healthy. We are missing Murphy (our 3rd best player imo) CJ and Nance right now and BI/Zion are always missing games. Fully healthy we have a real deep talented team but who cares when 2-3 pieces are always missing.
