Zion is not doing anything he wasn't doing at Duke though. So, I think his production is somewhat sustainable.

Zion's finishing ability is absolutely ridiculous. The fact that he was able to body up Gobert is crazy. Looking like a top 3 finisher already

Gentry "no defense" strategy will prevent the Pelicans from making the playoffs. People were asking why AD didn't have a top defense in his time in NO, Gentry is one of the reason.
Anyway, good game for Zo, Zion is a BEAST. NAW should be the first guy off the bench and not JJ Reddick, it looks like that signing wasn't needed tbh.

Unfortunately, AD is out with a sprained thumb for the 2nd half.

Hoping for no more injuries for both teams.

Easily could be a 2-3 week injury

Love how my nets are playing. We deep as hell and should be a 4-5th seed in the east. 6 if injuries become too much

Sounds about right. I'm telling you this guy gets a bunch of minor injuries all of the time. Rarely something serious but he gets nicked up every few games.
