    Pelicans really have the length tonight at almost every position, but Orlando had length too and got their butt kick. Let kick some BUTT tonight..

    Zion is surprisingly bad defender for the amount of strength and athleticism he has.

    I never made any claims about Sengun being slow footed or should be coming off the bench. I'm mainly just replying to absurd statements that put down other players to prop up Sengun.

    Other teams who packed their paint against Pels have found success.
    • CJ and Ingram have been mid range guys.
    • Zion likes to go left. Not saying we have big bodies per se on Zion, but would start there.
    Defensively try clogging the paint first, give them the 3ball, then see if they're hot on the perimter.


    Offensively, well no comment. :D

    Offensively, make Zion defend. Set plays where he is forced to switch to the ball handler. He's a poor defender.

    Out of the top 3 picks in last year's draft that are tasked to create their own shots(Cade, Green, Barnes), all have had efficiency drops.

    This tells me that high volume rookies who have a lot of tape make it easier for the league to adjust to them in their sophomore year and the next aspect to see who will be better is how they adjust to the league adjusting to them.

    Who do y’all think will be most productive off the bench tonight? Wild prediction but I think it’s gonna be Sengun. You can quote me.

    They are a very talented team but defense can be problem for them. McCollum is not a defensive guy that’s why he was traded out of Portland. Zion has lazy feet and has no effort, and their center is a very slow footed player. Our coach needs to attack their weaknesses like most coaches and stop saying we have a young team and we have not been together that long.

    His feet are quicker than his body movements, clear as day.
