i hope willie learned from last night game that he need to play zeller with zion...zeller did all the lil things that helped zion on offense last night....good screens...screening the big in the paint so zion can have a clear path the the rim when attacking one on one...better rebounder...

Exactly what I saw. Absolutely no reason to play Nance from this point forward.

i wouldnt mind seeing jonas and nance together against teams like the lakers or twolves with trey, ingram and cj on the floor with them.....

to me, last night and i see that you agree that zion offensive game was more easy with zeller doing the things he was doing to help zion out.....hell, i didnt see a drop off on defense with zeller but maybe i wasnt paying that much attention to the defense side as much as i was on the offense....

[6warddude]

both teams are cold lol..

[6warddude]

green to strong for zion to bully....cj short arm his shots...

[6warddude]

smdh,,here go willie with this small ball crap against that lineup..

[6warddude]

there we go...zion took it personal about his defense and the boy playing ball....where is, as i say so lol...

cj cooking now..

[6warddude]

if we come out with the same fire, we end this game early..

[6warddude]

zion on ball defense is on lol..

[6warddude]

jonas got to come out..

golden state making a comeback scoring easy baskets on 2s...no 3s at all yet...

well klay just hit a 3..

[6warddude]

jonas got to sit this one out if he not dominating on offense....we got to go with a 6 or 7 man rotation for the rest of the game to win...

[6warddude]

trey and dyson have to post cp3 up when he is guarding them...

[Pelicanidae]

Gotta say, I am so proud of the Pelicans right now.

[6warddude]

one more quarter ..

[Pelicanidae]

Zion's 6th steal makes a career high

CJ's set the Pelicans single season record for made 3s tonight, breaking Peja's record.

[6warddude]

they killing us in the paint..no 3s..no curry...they are in this game making 2s..

[6warddude]

we gotta dig deep for this win..

[Pelicanidae]

Zion with a couple of big buckets. And-one

[Pelicanidae]

Trey nailing a shot, Dyson locking up, Zion with another bucket.

It's all happening.

[6warddude]

put jonas in and go to him for the win..

[13 - 3]

I’m about to have a heart attack

[13 - 3]

Welcome back Dae

[Pelicanidae]

Pels win 114-109 to hit 49 wins

Means this is the most wins the Pelicans have registered in a season since 2008-09.

One game remaining. If we can beat the Lakers on the 14th, that's 50 wins.
