Five Pelicans on injury list; Nickeil Alexander-Walker upgraded to probable
— New Orleans Pelicans (@PelicansNBA) May 8, 2021
Injury Report: https://t.co/CzU8Ldn3t8#Pelicans | @SmoothieKing
Injury situation is much the same as last game, but NAW is probable! Which is good! We'll see if Ingram comes back or not, also.
Tonight we take on the 33-34 Charlotte Hornets, a team that has been surprisingly good this year and which has benefited from a few years of good drafting: LaMelo has returned and has been far better far quicker than most anticipated, PJ Washington has been really good for them in his sophomore season, and Gordon Hayward has been good. Combine that with solid play from Rozier, good shooting from Graham, and Miles Bridges putting a lot of it together this year, and they've been solid and have a good future. Unfortunately for them, both Bridges and Haywood are out tonight, with Devonte Graham being day-to-day at this point.
Hornets are 19th in Drtg and 17th Ortg, and have won 3 of their last 5; LaMelo is back and has been playing well for them, recovering from his injury in time to see out the regular season and even potentially getting some playoff experience. Sitting in 8th, the Hornets are currently in good standing for the play ins which gives them something to really play for.
Let's see what happens tonight.
In Other Games: Tonight the Bulls take on one of the worst teams in the NBA, the Pistons. Another win from them helps us with lottery odds. The Thunder also play the Kings: we're hoping for a Kings win here.
May 9th - New Orleans Pelicans @ Charlotte Hornets - 30-37

Hopefully Charlotte not to rough on us.

Cool on NAW. If Didi can replace Iwundu's minutes, that's a nice 10-man tankish rotation to end the season.

05-09-2021, 11:35 AMAs I See ItMy friend, how can you say that? Nobody, even DiDi himself hasn't any idea if he can sustain his, already limited, game at this level. I do hope you are right, though!!!Quote:

Unfortunately, it IS the squeaky wheel that always gets the grease (or the guy who always flops and complains). -

We got OKC vs. SAc tonight as well. Tank city.

05-09-2021, 01:17 PMAs I See ItThis past year he shot less than 40% overall (less than 30% from three) and shot less than 70% from the line in Australia, and his calling card (allegedly) is his shooting prowess? I have an open mind, but on face value, I don't see much here. Also, his defense is a work in progress.Quote:

05-09-2021, 01:26 PMluckymanJesus fn Christ dude. I simply said it'd be a nice rotation to see to close the year. Thats it. Thats all. We've seen enough of Wes Iwundu. Is that ok????Quote:

Here's a hint, anytime I say anything about any player....It's not based on "HIGHLIGHT TUBES". Like when I kept talking about Naji? It's because I watched hours of unedited Xavier GAMES.
Calm your depression. -

Says he’ll come off the bench and will be limited. Won’t say how many mins that will be. -

I am going to start assuming that all of the posters who have opinions that I disagree with are all alt's of each other. So, there are like 4 posters on this board with 10+ alters each
