Elfrid Payton

They need Mirotic back in a bad way

Need a damn bench. All 5 starters were plus in the +/-, all bench guys were minus. Tim Frazier was an amazing -21 in 9 minutes!!

Elfrid played a very good game though.

They need to play defense including the superstar Davis.

I think Davis's defense is very overrated. He gets credit for being a good defensive player when he comes from the backside to block shots. He gets beat off the dribble quite often off of switches and when a guy goes at him one on one in the post they often score. Don't get me wrong, he is a great player. It is just that this aspect of his game needs to improve.

Mike, I've said this for a couple of years now. I agree completely. I think AD's on ball defense is actually not very good at all. His help D is OK as he can be a good rim protector but he just gets beat often on the dribble, even by other bigs. This is why I mentioned earlier in the thread that I would welcome a trade between us and GS to get Draymond Green and Thompson. Both are elite defenders.

Tuned into the Pelicans late, but saw some really special assists from EP. Once in the paint to AD was absolutely great, and a full court strike to Mirotic for an old fashioned 3.

The pels are 9-2 when EP is on the court

I said it earlier, when EP comes back the Pels will go on a run and will make the playoffs.

Now that Mirotic is back, you may be right.

They have zero depth and Jrue is terrible as a PG. Having everyone healthy you will begin to see Nola start climbing. I think we end us as the 6 seed.
