Much better defender than Dame. Also Jonas has been very good, much better than a one arm Kanter. CJ is more than capable of leading the Pelicans to two play in wins. I'm not saying its more likely than not, certainly the Pelicans could also fall short. But as you mentioned, it wouldn't even be CJ's biggest post season accomplishment.
He broke out in the grizzlies series before a wimp who’s shall not be named left town. But yeah CJ has his high but also lows in the playoff
he killed Memphis with a broken back too, but haters gonna hate i guess. he's traded away already, you can ease up now.
I trust that the Wolves and Clippers are much better than the Pelicans but one game would be an incredibly stressful situation even if it was against the Suns or Bucks. I'm really hoping that the Lakers get AD back, get hot and take the Pelicans out in the first play in game so we don't have to sweat it. Or maybe the Spurs do that. Or what the fuck, maybe both the Spurs and Lakers are hot from here on out, the Pelicans stumble a few times and end up on the outside of the play ins looking in. There are a lot of scenarios in which we keep that pick and I still find it to be the most likely thing to happen. We definitely don't have to worry about fucking around with our tank to try and beat the Pelicans the two times we play them because we probably can't beat them if we want and I really think if we stick to the tank that we'll be in the 6th lotto position tonight and never be back at 7th.
I've always thought he was a good bet on the last shot and he seems to show for big games no question.
Sure, I don't think a single game of Pelicans v Clippers or Pelicans v Wolves would come down to CJ choking... I just think those two teams are a lot better than the Pelicans are at this point. I would still be sweating it for sure though. Let CJ and Ingram catch fire with Valanciunas doing his thing and they could beat any team in the league in a one game scenario.
I was one of the biggest trade CJ guys for the longest time but I love him, just hated him with Dame. So I hope he goes off tonight and in the other game against us but I'm really routing for his team's demise this season so we get that pick.
undoubtedly a lot of the love is justified. He's a great person; articulate and thoughtful. He's a good player too. He was just a real bad fit with Dame IMO
Holy shit! Go Spurs! It's a tie game with the Grizz. They need this win so after the Pelicans hand us an ass whopping the Spurs are still just a game behind.
I think lose. I don't see how Pelicans don't make it in the play-in. Sacramento just won which is good to drop to 6.
I think #6 is where we end up after looking at the Pacers schedule. They got possibly one more win in them
I thought we're 6 if we lose tonight because Sacramento won? I don't think we'll catch up to the Pacers.
