    You guys are overestimating Zion. We’ll win this one.

    Last night on TNT, they mentioned that Van Grundy has the Pels right now with the highest offensive rating in team history, and the lowest defensive rating in team history. Don’t know what to think about that.

    how long is the Pelicans history?....is it just since they became the 'Pelicans" in 2012?

    in any event, Portland has a worse defensive rating than the Pels...but a higher net rating, +0.7 vs + 0.2

    That sucks, Giles would have been useful to have a fresh body on Zion if needed.

    Oh man, hope they made the call to postpone the flight to today early last night so they could get a decent nights sleep in OKC.

    Maybe coaching does matter just as much as talent? I have heard there is a guy in New York who has his team playing a lot better than his predecessors also.
