March 10th - New Orleans Pelicans @ Atlanta Hawks - 30-38
Tonight, Bertans makes his debut!
We lost last game, as we probably should have, and in normal circumstances this would be a game we would expect to win. However, we're missing a lot of pieces from our lineup, and although Bertans is hopefully going to be a flamethrower for us, there's no guarantee as to how quickly he will fit into things. This could be a win, due to Atlanta's powerful tank, but it could also be a loss, which would be helpful for us.
The guys to watch for ATL are Trae Young and John Collins. Collins is one of the most exciting young bigs in the league right now, and I think he has an exceptionally bright future. I could see a couple of all-star appearances and all-NBA awards falling into his resume, especially if he stays in the East.
Young, on the other hand, I'm not quite so hot on: a lot of people have compared him to Steph Curry, and I see that to a limited extent, but I think that some of that evaluation is simply based on extrapolating out hopes. Hopefully, though, he lights it up tonight!
Let's go and see the youth in action! #DoItBig!
