CP's been carrying us at times and this lineup with him, Okogie, Mikal, Lee and Landale seem to have good chemistry. More good minutes from Okogie, Lee with more big 3s.

Suns within 4, somehow! Pels call timeout.

If DA's guarding Zion then TC or Ish need to be in there guarding Nance. If they're bigger with JV, then you gotta decide if you want to matchup big.
With who? Dario?

This has been issue since the 2021 Finals. Still waiting on Jones to address it.
Biz or Landale guarding JV with DA guarding Zion. Not for extended stretches but maybe get a few good possessions out of it. Monty's gone bigger with DA and Landale against Zion and Nance.

The weirdest thing about the Pelicans so far this season is that C.J. McCollum has not been good. Crazy they are competing for the best record in the West with him struggling, and Ingram and Williamson in and out of the lineup with injuries.

Chris Paul's game tonight reminds me of the Toby Keith song..."I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was."

Back and forth now. Big shots from everyone.

May have been better to leave Book on the bench.

Booker continues to be straight ASS. What kind of shit pass was that Book?
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Might have to sit Book and go with Lee or Okogie.

Must win game IMHO. If the roll over again the dismantling will begin.
Sounds like it may be a must-lose then, if it's the only thing that will get JJ to act.
Be careful what you wish for Jeremy! You’re going to get a nice Charlotte DA jersey
No thanks, I only buy Suns jerseys.

One thing I can guarantee, though, is that Jones will not trade DA this season.
You can guarantee it?
