GT #5: Nets @ Pelicans - Fri, Oct 26, 8:00pm ET

I'm surprised at the 19.7% probability of a Nets win, from ESPN. thought it was more like 2%

Nets at 7th seed right now, although they tend to start the first 8 games or so of the season at .500.
still be rooting for them to make the playoffs until it becomes obvious that they have no chance.

^ thanks. It actually takes me a lot of time to make these, but I'm getting more efficient at it. I have no photoshop skills, and I'm doing it all on MSpaint.

soul fist bless your soul my friend.

if you have MS Office suite you could use Publisher, its less of a headache than MS Paint and you can arrange things a lot easier.

The spread for this game is PELICANS -9.5, O/U is 236.5

I'm taking the Pelicans with the spread, slapped that one in a 3 game parlay for tomorrow night (Mavs/Raps, Warriors/Knicks).

We are going to get the **** beaten out of us. Anthony Davis is not playing around anymore.

Things I'll be looking for:

1) Caris LeVert. Will he have another sub par game or will he adjust to the scouting report and produce?

2)D'Angelo Russell. He finally put together a solid and smooth game. Can he be consistent?

3) Jarrett Allen vs. Anthony Davis. Davis has guard level skill with the ball in his hands. Lets see if Allen can keep his head in the game and respond to an incoming ass kicking.

4) RHJ's 2nd game back, lets see if the rust has worn off.

Going to be a real fun game, I think Pelicans are my favorite team out West. I'm glad they are undefeated still because Davis deserves it. Davis will have a 35-15-5 game and I won't be mad about it. Hopefully I get tickets when the Pels come to Bk.

Looking forward to another good game by Levert, Russell needs to get his act together already.

We always play them well in Nola so It would not surprise me if we beat them tonight.

They look tough though so not expecting a W just compete hard and don't get blown out.

Jrue Holiday might get 10 steals if we continue not being careful with the ball.

Either expecting a high scoring game. Hoping Crabbe gets his shooting stroke back and RHJ is not too rusty.

My heart doesn't let me bet against the Nets but that under is looking pretty good. We haven't really gotten close to a super high scoring game yet. 236 kind of requires both teams to be at 110+ even if it's a blow out.

LeVert should be interesting. More than the scouting report, he's probably gonna have Holiday on him + Davis waiting for him at the rim. That's a tough combo for even elite guys.

Super big game for our bigs though. Pelicans have been killing it with Davis, Mitotic, and Randle. AD requires so much attention that it's tough to contain the other two.

I just want us to compete. No 30+ point blowout please lol.

I love the Nets but they make me money more times than not win or lose :-?

If they win tonight and ruin my parlay I won't even be mad tbh.

Two straight turnovers by Harris and Russell to start the game.

This will be over quickly. 8-0 Pelicans.

Nets off to the races... :o This isn't really surprising though. what would be surprising if they can contain this type of play in the 2nd half.

Depends on the 3rd quarter, that's where we usually collapse.

However, if you guys don't start to take us seriously there will be no rest.
