They seemed to wake up mid third quarter last game. Let's see if it carries over and find out if they put that fire in the dumpster out.

pelicans win tonight...book it.

[Pelicanidae]

Liking the ball movement early, everyone getting touches

[Pelicanidae]

Defense has been alright too tbh, even with a few issues

[Pelicanidae]

Zion scored a layup then forces a TO and draws a foul

[Pelicanidae]

Another Zion finish, this time off a BI assist - good stuff.

Magic have made some tough shots so it's still all even right now, but this version of the Pels looks worlds different from the last two games.

[Pelicanidae]

Love how much ballhandling we're giving Herb so far

[Pelicanidae]

Zion gets his pocket picked, but BI gets the steal and throws a 35 foot pass to Zion for a finish on the other end to get the possession back.

[Pelicanidae]

Some of the best BI/Zion chemistry we've seen in a long time early this game. Haven't seen every single opportunity but many of them.

[Pelicanidae]

Zion gets his third steal and CJ gets the finish.

[Pelicanidae]

BI and Zion with back to back points

[Pelicanidae]

Zion gets his 4th steal and finishes with a hammer on a fast break

[Pelicanidae]

Zion rebounds and throws the outlet to Kira who takes a few steps around a defender to finish

[Pelicanidae]

Ingram with offensive board after offensive board to get that to fall. Love the effort

[Pelicanidae]

Completing lobs to Zion >>

You love to see it

Took 20 mins for the damn link to work. *sigh*

The NBA is such a damn poorly run org I swear.

[6warddude]

dyson and herb was real active with their hands on defense....

unless something happens with injuries , i guess we are seeing willie rotation for the start of the season with dyson being first off the bench and going small ball after the first 6mins....

[Pelicanidae]

Green said the starters are probably going to play about 20 minutes tonight, so we've likely seen half of the minutes most of them are going to get.

[Fedupfan]

More of the same tonight. Bricks and bad defense.

[Pelicanidae]

Second quarter is making me sad.

[Fedupfan]

They just have no identity on offense at all. Defense always has someone lost. This game is absolutely no way different than the other ones besides maybe a few more effort plays.

[Fedupfan]

It’s going to take this bad coach until January to figure out a smart rotation anyways.

Zion and BI sit and the Magic immediately go on a huge run and we can't score. Not a surprise tbh.
