Going for Win #24. Hoping to see some of our G-League signings get a chance to play with all the injuries.

Pels haven't played since last Friday and don't play again until this Friday. So they are well rested and this won't be a "look ahead" trap game. This one will get ugly IMO.

I know the team sucks, but I'm really pumped for every game now, more so than the last 2 seasons that is for sure. Feels like the first 18 years of the franchise where you were just watching to see players develop and dream about what might one day be.

Expecting a loss, but any game where they can keep it competitive for 2-3 quarters is a consolation prize.

We are gonna get f****ed.

Zion is eating good tonight.

Just hoping they'll keep it competitive and that the younger players continue to develop/impress.

Does this city still have a basketball team?

Have we introduced Mona Halem to Zion? She's our last line of defense.

I have a feeling he eats well every night.

Raps in 5.

This is likely going to be rough. Maybe start Jontay and Kelly and try to play 5 out?

You just never know with the young guys who have nothing to lose and wants to show they belong in the NBA. Will we get blown out every game? Quite possible or we could theoretically go on a run with guys playing at a high level and refusing to tank? Another plausible scenario.

Lets give Dick some Bonus minutes. Rather he jack up 20 than Bruce Brown or Ochai

Get ready for a Raps comeback reminiscent of the 2001-2002 season!

Cavs are also 10 point underdogs at home. Hornets are close to it too.

If we weren't at home, it'd be a lock for 20+ point blowout.

I think home court advantage might make the first quarter competitive.

Would be very shocked and impressed if we pull off the win.

Pelicans should be absolutely ashamed of themselves if they don’t cover 10 points. The certainty that I have that they will lose big is the only thing that gives me any hope that they might win.

@New Orleans, only Yak could stay in front of Zion. Without him who gets that nightmare matchup?
