Can't wait for the possessions where Niang is guarding Zion. Gonna be pure comedy.

This team is a really bad matchup for the Sixers. Ill be happy if we win one of the two games against them. Dont let our boy Tobias off the hook he will get abused just as much as Niang by Williamson. Anyboy we put on him will get abused with the exception of Joel who btw is averaging almost 34 PPG and shooting 53% from the field and 85% from the line and who is getting very little credit from the national media who is going gaga over Durant averaging 30ppg.

Pj is actually a great option to guard Zion i think.

I'm not worried about our offense, the defense is going back to the first games of the season, it looks tighter today

Zion is a massive weirdo. How can he be the best athlete ever while also walking like a giant dork?

Here we go again with the late first quarter collapse. After that, the Pelicans will go on a huge run in the second quarter. Their lead will balloon to 17-18 and by halftime they'll be up by 14. During the third quarter we'll make a small run and have the lead trimmed to 9 by the start of the 4th quarter. During the 4th quarter their lead will grow back to 12 and once Jo comes in at the 7 minute mark we'll get to within 3-4. With about 1:34 left in the game we will be down by 2 with the ball. Jo will throw the ball out of bounds and give it back to them. CJ Mcollum will drain a 3 and swell the lead back to 5. After that Tobias will hit a three but get called for an offensive foul which leads to free throws on the other end. Pels win 118-111
