Game 25: Pistons (4-20) @ Pelicans (7-20) - Dec. 10 8:00 PM EST
Pistons are 6 point dogs to a team they're tied with in the loss column. Not much respect from Vegas.
This will be the Pelicans 3rd game as a favorite this season. The first two were losses:
v. OKC (11/10), laying -4.5 and @ Hou (12/5), laying -3.

He is an ultimate athlete though, perhaps the best one in the league. His lob catching ability, and insane roll ability would be amazing with Cade/Hayes.
Maybe a brain transplant?

I predict we snap the L streak tonight.
Like to see a big slash line out of Cade and get some FTA's to help.

I heard the Skip and Shannon the other day saying Zion is at 330 pounds. Holy crap, his knees will never last unless he loses massive weight.

Certainly possible. New Orleans has the 28th ranked defense in the league right now. Josh Hart seems above average defensively but doesn't stand out as really great so this should be one of our higher scoring games of the year if we're hitting the shots New Orleans would normally give up.

Someone suggested swinging a trade for Grant to get Zion and the first thing I thought was "No effing way would I spend resources getting that guy."

Yep, he can't control his weight. You would think the team would be more forceful in watching over him and seeing to it that he is eating healthy. Such a promising talent that looks like it will be wasted. My dad used to say "He's digging his own grave with his teeth".

Zion's knees will likely be OK. They won't get much pounding as the foot problems at his weight will continue, keeping him off the court.

It's only a matter of time before Cade drops a 30+ point bomb on a team, and this is as good as its gonna get in terms of crap defense.
Is tonight, the night?

I had a buddy who managed an upscale restaurant in the French Quarter for a couple of years; he'd comp me every time I was in there so I ate my azz off. Great town.

I have trauma from hoping for low IQ athletes to “figure it out”.
He doesn’t have nearly enough upside to bring him around this group.

Yeah, I can deal with guys who have talent but are dumb. I can deal with guys who have talent but are jerks. What I can't deal with is guys who have talent but are dumb and jerks.
