Bev is back, so we get to see the "Greatest lineup ever" again. This game worries me more than the 2 thunder and Rockets game for some reason.

Let's get over .500 tonight!

The only reason it should worry you is because they have Valanciunas instead of Wood and Robinson-Earl at center

That and things have been going very well recently. When you score 135 then 141 you get confident. Confidence can either be very good or very bad. Personally, I will be relieved when we get back to middle of the pack opponents as we are less likely to take them for granted the way we did against OKC the first game. We should win tonight, we must win tonight. There are only two scenarios which I see is losing. The first is they shoot is out of the gym (unlikely but possible.) The second is we come in cocky and don’t put in the work (what I fear most about this game.)

Pelicans are not as bad as they were, they have had stretches of roughly .500 ball since we played them. They are a bad matchup for us as well. Need KAT to be under control, need the team to play tough or we could get caught with our pants down again. Got to win this game because we have some truly great teams coming right up.

Pelicans with a nice start, KAT getting beat by Jonas so far.

Pelicans match up so well against us. They are becoming the Grizzlies 2.0.

To be fair we are sorta flat. Giving up a lot of open 3s.

Hopefully with some tape and ice Nowell will be good to go for the 2nd half. If not it was still a good sign that he was able to finish out the defensive play.

Beasley has 3 made 3s, he isn’t playing well, but not terrible either.

We got a ton of free throws, we have turned the Pelicans over a ton, we are done 2. Yuck.

Missing Nowell hurts, but the Wolves are doing what I was afraid they would do. They came out overconfident and played lazy. Way too many open 3s, transition dunks, and easy layups. Also the refs are giving us no love. Ant is getting mugged, Towns got mugged a few times, no whistles.
