Pelicans don't know that thing called defense, let this not be the night they decide to do it right. Should be a solid win, but this is the NBA, must come out strong.

Beverley's playstyle is what gets him his money, but it's also what gets him injured, which probably makes him best as a backup guard sadly, because his health is to unreliable.

Not sure he can maintain his same impact if he plays, "safer", which is the problem, sucks, but it is what it is.

Another must win! Who exactly is guarding Zion if Ibaka is on Adams? The paint is going to be an issue this game.

I am worried, but not sure how their depth is.

I have Clippers by 10 w PG and Kawhi playing the whole game. Fine with me.

Hoping Bledsoe doesn’t try to play bully ball and keeps bricking his jumper

This should be interesting

Batum and Ibaka need to start hitting their shots. Sheesh.

Defense has to be sharper

So many jumpers

George might want to stop turning it over.

KL2 · Post #11 » by **KL2** » Mon Mar 15, 2021 1:27 am

You can count on Lou to come in and turn it over.

Leonard the only one awake for the game.

Lazy passes all around.

People constantly try to trade Zu but don’t see or want to fix how easily teams get into the paint from the perimeter with no resistance

Prime Dwight is not cleaning up all these breakdowns

Just a garbage first quarter, not sure why we are not down by 20 at this point.

KL2 · Post #14 » by **KL2** » Mon Mar 15, 2021 1:39 am

Hopefully George catches fire while Leonard is on the bench.

Looks like the 3 fouls Zu got weren't fouls at all

Play some defense

TheNewEra · Post #17 » by **TheNewEra** » Mon Mar 15, 2021 1:55 am

Look how easy they get inside! Show some damn pride and hold the line

Post #18 » by **og15** » Mon Mar 15, 2021 2:03 am

Zion just clears and carries defenders to the rim with him, sheesh

Post #19 » by **og15** » Mon Mar 15, 2021 2:04 am

Did PG even get Ingram there? Certainly close, but the angle almost looks like he avoided him

Not locking in
