Pelicans too fast for the Cs today. We're at .5x speed.

Offense slow and stagnant, defense porous

Lack of front court depth will bite us in the butt. KP is skinny, Al is old.

Tillman, Kornet and Queta (w/Maine) should help us out.

Dunno what happened to our defense. Non-existent this March against teams that still care to play.

I still think Queta could have helped us. I honestly think he was more impactful than X has been. Plus, he had size.

Hopefully we Convert him, before the End of the Season.

Why did we even bother playing our top guys when they look like they don't even want to be out there

:nod: They both can't rebound to save their lives too. Pritchard is an elite rebounder compared to them.

Pelicans scored 36 in 1Q in last matchup in Boston. 37 today. Cs got to get their **** together soon. We haven't had too many games where we're the ones that make a comeback.

I don’t really get Al playing non Zion minutes. I’d try to match em as much as you can. He’s probably the closest we’ve got to someone Zion’s weight

PP doing a great job denying ball from CJ.

This group defending well, starting with Jrue and PP.
