Okafor is in great shape, I didn't even recognize him until they zoomed in.

Lowry is going take a charge against him on opening night. Book it.

Balls of steel man, balls of steel.

Zion and Hunter looked really good this quarter

Cam not so much, though he had a nice pass inside

Feel like people are too high on the Pelicans. Some think they are a borderline playoff team.

Good for Okafor for getting and staying in such great shape. Still can hardly recognize him with how much weight he has lost over the years.

Okafor is still in the NBA?

He wasn't.... he subbed early for Hunter.

yeah you're right. Announcers confused me saying no subs were made yet.

I was just thinking the same thing. I was literally thinking, "damn Pels have another big to go with Favors, Okafor and Hayes?" Dude actually has definition on his arms now.

Zion will have to show a lot more than just dunks if Pelicans want to make the playoffs.

Hawks should really be able to stretch the floor for 48 mins this season

Hunter is the closest thing to Kawhi since Kawhi, not just play style but personality too

He resurrected himself last season with the Pelicans.

Okafor is so skilled with the ball, but without it he's lackadaisical. 70sfans posted that great video of Embiid's work as a post player who displayed fantastic footwork carving out space with his body to make it easier for his guards to pass it to him. Okafor is just sitting there with his hand up asking for the ball.

He's been the Pels 3rd best player in the 1st quarter. Good on him for getting in shape and molding his game. The ball no longer sticks in his hands anymore.

How many times will the phrase "it's only preseason" be used in this thread on average?
