I am happy we are facing the Pelicans before these 2 freaks figure out their game.

Their current game plan is "you score this then i'll score next"

This will be tough for Domas/Enes. Steven won't be able to provide any support for them, he'll be too busy dealing with Cousins. I wouldn't be surprised if Taj gets a nod to start in this one.

He should start anyway. Domas+Roberson is killing lineups.

I'm ready for a fun one

Asik is questionable because of illness? Is it Gentrynitis?
E'twaun Moore is questionable but it is personal, hmmm..

Oladipo listed as a game-time decision. I really hope he can play today.

Josh Huestis, out (D-League)

So is Oladipo playing or not?

I think Sabonis will still start tonight but will come out early in favor of Gibson. Hopefully 'Dipo can play tonight. Really interested to see what Abrines can bring to the table versus Thompson and Moore. Our 2 guard rotation should destroy them, especially if Oladipo plays.

You'd hope/think, but Moore has had some "above his head" type games against us in the past. I know he had a game while playing for the Bulls a couple of years ago against us where he only missed like one shot on around 10 attempts and scored 20ish points. He also scored close to 20 points against us last time we played the Pelicans.

Was at that game in Chicago. Dude is a thunder killer. He's also a GTD. ESPN says they're starting Hollis

Dipo is out per Royce.

Awesome. Two games to start the post-ASB schedule with only one player capable of creating his own shot. That's always scary.

Yes. If I recall correctly, Moore hit a game winner with only a few seconds left in that game.

Why is that a double technical? What did Adams even do?

So glad we didn't trade for Cousins. Piece of garbage.

Davis with five quick points.

Uh oh.

Cousins is so volatile. Adams got under his skin early.
