Do not care about this game, but I think we're trying to play spoiler on NOP... So I wonder what our approach is going to be.

I hope we make a statement in this game after that stinker last night.

Couldn't care less about NO.... win the game and move on is the attitude we should have here. They are getting feel good press because the NBA needs Zion to be one of the next faces of the league.

If we come out with the same energy we showed last night we could easily lose this one however.

Would be surprised by a win. Not sure they’re even motivated by last night’s blowout loss tbh. Lots of big games coming up after this one that could make the race for first very interesting if they don’t play with intensity.

I swear, the refs don’t know the rules.

That should have been a jump ball

Also, two times a pelican player touched the ball after it was scored, and no call both times.

Refs in for NO

Ingram is still my favorite player in the NBA. I'm a big fan of his all around skill. It's crazy he's been able to dominate the NBA after not touching a basketball from March to September while recovering from having one of his ribs removed. Once he gets a real summer to work on his body it'll be game over.

He has been able to dominate? His scoring did not equate to winning to Zion came back. He is a net negative defender again like last year. His numbers went down to win games and be the B guy next to Zion, and really he is the C guy because Zo is more important to Zion than him.

He is going to ge t paid this summer, is a known stoner, and he magically learned to shoot free throws and threes in a contract year so it is likely he reverts to be honest

I feel like this game at least our shots are falling. Last night nothing went in.

I don't think Frank cares and really he should not. He is using this stretch to rest our guys and integrate Morris .

Bron sat
Green sat
AD and Caruso are sitting

JAvale and Avery will sit. Then KCP and Kuzma are due as well as Dwight and Rondo too.

It's important to give them even a night off after the bs they know is coming their way with 3 games in a row and 5 games in 6 nights soon. They didn't magically start sitting to they found out the league expected them to play damn near a week straight

Someone hasn't been paying attention. You mean his numbers didn't equate to winning until Favors came back.

Zero rim protection whatsoever. 18 of the Pelicans' 21 made FGs have literally been at the rim lol, outscoring the Lakers 36-28 in the paint thus far. Lakers also getting outrebounded 26-12

Thats what happens when AD doesn't play.

I don't understand why Kuzma is guarding Zion.
