No pressure, eh? Isn't it a bit too early for setting such ambitious goals? Or is this a new approach to GL charms?

Steven Adams probably out for this game.

I would rather he be healthy. The sooner they realize they should play Zion at the 5 in a 5 out offense, the worse it will be for the rest of the NBA.

Spacing is terrible with Adams+Zion. Is Crowder defending Zion tomorrow?

Well, Zion can hit 3s..he's actually at 37.5% which is better than any of our starters except Bridges, but he could be devastating driving inside without a big in there clogging it with another defender....so yeah, if I was a fan of them, I'd rather have 5 guys who could hit the 3.

I hope Crowder guards him, but it will probably depend on the lineup they start.

please don't lose either of these games this weekend. I cannot kill myself until after Apr 16 what with the Mortal Kombat movie coming out.

Crowder on Williamson for sure, he didn't play last time.

This game worries me. They destroyed us on the glass and inside the paint last time.

I hear you with some spacing issues, but I'm TOTALLY OK with Adams being out. They killed us on the inside last game against them, Adams had 8 ORBDS! We couldn't deal with their size.

I know we say this most games but Ayton should dominate his opponent, Hernangomez is basically a G-Leaguer.

He takes the 10th most shots per minute on our roster so upside is still there.

I noticed in that Willy Hernangomez was killing it when looking at some numbers lately. He had 17 rebounds against Portland, including 7 offensive boards.

The Pelicans outrebounded Portland by 20, but of course Portland still beat them by 2.

Zion is so good at boxing out with his size and strength.

Zion scoring doesn't really hurt us. Kind of like Vucevic (sp?) scoring wouldn't have hurt us. Zion has only scored by scrapping baskets against us.

We'll need to stop the likes of Ingram and Bledsoe from scoring and our job will be significantly easier.

N.O opponents have averaged 126 points in the last 6 games.

But they're 1st in O-Rebs, 7th at FTAs, 8th at 2P%.

suns please win tonight so i can get a good night of sleep

That Brooklyn loss really sucked all the excitement I had from the winning streak out.

I know what you mean, but this is a good game to bounce back. We're fully healthy, have had a few days rest, and are coming up against a team that isn't very good. Hopefully we come out and put this one away early.
