Maybe the real lottery pick was the friends we made along the way.

Your posts are 70% Poeltl glaze and 30% criticizing others for being critical of Poeltl. It's sad to be honest.

Let's see how this one goes. A chance to shine. The Pelicans suck, so we definitely have a chance.

Is Zion playing?

Just remembered the ass whooping we handed the Pels earlier in the season.

Ya, Gradey is a liability on the defensive end.

Here's hoping he plays 40 minutes tonight cuz we need this L.

Tonight he will continue to prove to the world that he is an ascending star in this league. 20/5/5 on 45/38/90 splits. It's gonna be the Gradey Dick show tonight.

Pelicans favoured by 1.5, that's interesting since Raptors are at home.

Raptors 10-13 at home, Pelicans 4-18 on the road....not sure why they would get the edge.

Your optimism is remarkable. I'd love to be wrong about my disbelief on that front, for sure, heh. Hope he has a nice game tonight.

Pelicans depsite losing the last 2, had a 4 game winning streak before. And with Zion you have the superstar edge. that is the only explanation i could think of.

I dont have to worry about it. It is made abundantly clear everytime i open up this board. Thats why it sad. Raptors are playing well, we are on a winning streak - and yeah you get my drift.

With Zion the edge makes more sense, I didn't think Zion was playing.
