Honestly I think we beat either but the Pels seem to not be a great match up for us. We will destroy the clips they may sneak one win. The Clops might be an easier first round than the Pels, lots of youth and energy on that team…

Well, George missing time even if it’s just one game evens it out to me.

I'm sure Monty is checking out the Clippers going to a smaller lineup in the 3rd quarter to push tempo.

Clips d is swarming

Clips d is swarming

The Clippers and Suns are a lot like in the way they can turn up the defense. We will see how the Pelicans handle it.

 

[Chaplin]

CJ is having a terrible game and how can Valenciunas not show up at all?

We’ll smoke either one of these teams.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Clippers swarming defense makes it hard to get the entry pass to Jonas.

 

[Finito]

Yeah and the Cavs would be stupid to do that deal. You don’t give up a young stud like mobley for a 38 year old with a year or two left.

Dan Gilbert would sell his children to get Lebron back in that building make no mistake.

This ain’t a regular situation

 

[Chaplin]

The Pelicans swarming defense makes it hard to get the entry pass to Jonas.

I assume you mean the Clippers defense.

 

[Finito]

Pels choking bad

Only 1 basket in 8 minutes?

 

[Mainstreet]

Yeah, the Clippers defense is tenacious. It's hard to go big against them.

This is where Monty needs to figure out a way to get the ball to their centers if this is who the Suns face.

 

[Proximo]

This is the clips team I remember and want no part of.

 

[Chaplin]

This is the clips team I remember and want no part of.

They can’t sustain it. Not against a far superior offensive team than the Pels.

 

[Mainstreet]

Tyronn Lue is a good coach.

 

[Proximo]

Well, George missing time even if it’s just one game evens it out to me.

Never mind, I take this back. I don’t want the clippers at all.

 

[Proximo]

Tyronn Lue is a good coach.

A great coach. He’s the only guy that really Worries me from a coaching perspective

 

[Mainstreet]

It's amazing the way the Clippers take Valanciunas out of the game. They will try to do the same to Ayton.

 

[Proximo]

They can’t sustain it. Not against a far superior offensive team than the Pels.

hope your right.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Clippers are so deep at forward with Morris Jr., Batum, Powell and Covington, they don't even have to play a center.

 

[Finito]

I hate the Clippers

By the way those jerseys are trash

 

[Mainstreet]

Nance Jr. has given the Pelicans a lift off bench, 12 points and 12 rebounds.

 

[Proximo]

This Murphy looks like he is going to be a real good 3 and D guy.

 

[Folster]

The Clippers are so deep at forward with Morris Jr., Batum, Powell and Covington, they don't even have to play a center.

Their whole team is wings. Teams with a legit big should punish them.

 

[Mainstreet]

Their whole team is wings.

It's almost a textbook example of how the Clippers force teams to go small.

Nance Jr. is essentially the center for the Pelicans.

 

[Proximo]

Kind of wish suns would have gone after nance when he was available cheap.

his rebounding and hustle off the bench would be huge.
