Was Paul George injured before the shutdown? Cuz he's looked completely fresh and new since coming back.

George is one of those guys that often has lots of nagging injuries. When he’s healthy, he’s great. Even in okc, he had the shoulders, elbow and “dead foot”, whatever that was.

Are Pelicans pretty much out if they lose this one? They were pretty far back before coming in.

Gentry is like a worse version of Mike D'Antoni

Almost the same style but his teams have always worse on offense and defense!

Crazy how bad the pelicans are looking right now. They're a young team that should be all over the court.

Nearly all of them look out of shape, honestly. Not necessarily physically like Zion but they look like their conditioning sucks. They all were dead tired and sweating up a storm after 3min... Lol

I don't understand how Lonzo misses basic layups so routinely.

NOP is still in a decent position to make the playoffs even if they lose. Portland has a rough schedule moving forward and Memphis won't have Tyus the next few games plus a tough schedule. All NOP has to do is be 9th and within 4 games of 8th to get a play-in series.
