Good game last night

The difference was the Pelicans inability to hit from 3

James also turned it on and did what he does

Not mad at the L

Maybe the Pelicans could consider offering resistance at the rim if they’re serious about playoff push

As much fun as Zion is to watch right now and as good as hes been on offense, he has a very long way to on defense(as expected).....and then on top of that hes being used in a lot of lineups with a another bad defender Nicolol Melli, Favors is solid but only so much he can do when the rest of the front court rotation are complete negatives on defense

They kind of have to just roll with it for now but yeah, that would be a high priority when it comes to addressing what this team needs going forward

Zion don't have the lateral quickness to guard talented wing players

Ill admit he's gotten a lot better from his Euro days and as the season has progressed but just in general its hard to field a good interior defense with him and Zion right now

Who do u think is the better fit for us? JR Smith or Waiters?

I think Waiters would help yall more and brings more to the table than Smith....hes a better passer/playmaker, better ball handler, a better defender, younger and technically has been a better shooter over the past two seaons

Dont really know what the case for JR would be other than the fact that Lebron might not fuck with Waiters going back to their time in Cleveland

I agree with u. Just worried Waiters might be reenacting this track bi-weekly....

the thought is what they provide offensively will negate anything defensively

they not playing lebron every night also

they are also one of the higher rated defensive lineups on the roster when they play together

i think what should've happened last night was he should've just sagged off Kuzma

he would've had to hit like 4 3's in a row before i would commit to going that far on the perimeter to guard him

Pack the paint so Lebron cant work.
 
@southsil4lil

also, Nico was doing a fantastic job keeping dwight off the boards. he was just finding him, turning around and putting a body on him. He didnt even go after rebounds. He was just allowing teammates to get them.
