    From what I've gathered, NBA players lie about their height.

    Capela is no way taller than 6-9.5" and Wiltjer is 6-8.5".

    Harden looks to be 6-5.5".

    It'll be close but they'll pull out a win.

    They aren't as bad as they were earlier in the season, gave GS a tough game this week. Davis is a hard matchup, but everyone else can be contained easily. Tim Frazier and Holiday are nice, but guess what we have great defenders at point. Let's keep all our streaks going: win, 10+ threes, and Gordon 3+ threes.

    Yes players add an inch or two to their height; no you cannot gauge accurately any height comparisons based on this photo.

    Ego / Ryno pretty despised in New Orleans.

    Wouldn't be surprised if both stuck it to their former team.

    Cautiously optimistic, since anything can happen with Davis on the court, but we should win this one convincingly.

    I think this game will be close. The Pelicans, on paper, don't present a great matchup for us. Anthony Davis will almost surely go for 30+. We should win, but I think it'll go well into the 4th quarter.
