    The Pelicans must be feeling great because based on this game Okafor is just as good as AD! Hell, he might even be better!

    Dear God...

    Rudy Gobert is going to get 40 rebounds.

    We were uncharacteristically playing a 104 pace which plays into their hands.

    I really think a big part of what's killing our defense is having Clint out. We've lost about half our games with him out haven't we? Tonight though was scary. They had their way with us in the paint. A reality check hit me hard tonight after those 3 wins in a row. I was slapped in the face with a reminder of why I both love and hate watching this team. One word: Frustrating.

    Successful NBA basketball teams need height and bulk to compete.

    Who knew?

    Clint is the shot blocking big that makes the defense go.

    Probably one of the worst loss of this season. Considering New Orleans were missing 5 of their top 6 players. This loss will be right with losses against Orlando, Cleveland, Dallas twice, Nets, Miami etc

    Agreed. But No Excuses to lose to a team that is missing 5 out of their top 6 players and we played at home. Morey should get us help with some trades to get a back up Center ASAP. Faried will be a nice back up PF or small ball line up Center

    Lets just sign Hakeem til Clint comes back and give him Nene's minutes. That would be classic. We would be better, even with the oldest player to ever suit up in a Rockets jersey. Man would I love to see that.

    Lol there's no chance the Pelicans would accept anything we have to offer.

    As far as what AD sees, he sees a massive whole at the center position that he would easily fill.

    Makes you wonder why we've never decided to roster another one of those...
