What are the keys to the game ?

Contain Zion and let others go crazy?

I have not watched any pelicans games this season.

beat a decent team. The Clippers have no good wins yet. Clippers havent proved that they are even mediocre yet.

Orlando is now 10-5 and Houston was on a 6 game win streak- so they have 2 wins against good teams thus far

Zion will definitely be a challenge with Kawhi and PG guarding him.

They have to worry about Valančiūnas too because he plays like a hall of famer against the Clippers.

Ingram also tends to play above his ability level against the Clippers as well

Curry, I mean Valančiūnas, loves playing against us.

Zion what can you do.

Good test tonight against a team that’s owned us lately.

I'm much more a Russ fan than a Beard fan. But everybody "sees" Zubac, but Beard is doing the next level of point guard--getting Zu the ball WHERE HE CAN HANDLE IT and do something with it.

Ugly quick. Such a bad matchup.

What’s up with Hardens ft shooting?

Should Clippers just trade for a Pelican? Just get Valanciunus so that they never lose to New Orleans again?

No answer for this team.

Not enough guys on the bench to clear and rest up for tomorrow night.

Was thinking the same. Showing has been pathetic so far.

Westbrook comes in chucking like he knows he’s not playing tomorrow night.

feels like this strategy of "take more bad shots and defend less" isn't doing so well

i mean like, putting out powell/westbrook/harden on the court at the same time when we're already getting outsized is just a recipe for disaster. reminds of when doc thought letting jamal crawford defend lebron was a viable, working strategy. it wasn't.

Also why is this Harden and Westbrook combo in together so long?

Norman Powell stops The bleeding with a and 1 .

Pelicans intensity is on high. Clippers need to match it.
