Jeff, KD, Nic, Joe and Kyrie is pretty tall line up. KD looked fast and good with that rim to rim take.

I've been waiting for KD to go back to the 3. We have enough depth now to let him play his natural position.

With the way we switch there's no telling who's playing what position. Crazy part is KD, Jeff and Nic can cover multiple positions on D.

Just w8 for KD/Alize/Claxton

And we still have LMA and Blake for size.

Now Pels aren't a defensive steward by any means but that half was filthy.

KD dominating without going full out, offense looks great. We got too much offense to get stick into Harden isoball. The Kyrie/KD team offense is just crazy. Joe was getting open looks like he was Biyombo or something.

Defensively is where my expectations were exceeded. Zion got nothing easy, LMAs length and the team hustle is getting it done

I knew this half was gonna be trouble when the Chiozza/TLC/Alize/Blake/LMA lineup was cooking the Pelicans :lol:

Let's actually close this out in the 3rd instead of forcing our starters to play 30+ minutes for once

Don't like KD taking charges on Zion on his first game back. Just give it to him damn

This feels like an all star game when we're on offense. Only time we don't score is when we're messing around and turn it over.

KD and LMA just got that contending team basketball IQ.

Beyond just being vets, just winning basketball.

Both on the defensive end and offensive end. All the little things and getting to the spot first.

If you had any doubts about whose team this is. That will resolve it.

Props on harden for carrying the team through some hard times. But we ain't playing Harden ball when fully healthy
