    Their doing to Zach what the Blazers should be do to shot blockers, go straight at their chest.
    I'm not worried at all about Zach on Defense, I think he'll adjust and learn how to guard guys who attack him like that, because his feet are quick.

    We might see Meyers if Randle gets all our bigs in foul trouble.

    Dame has been protecting that left hand since the Houston game. Did CP do some dirty shit again?

    Every time the pelicans drive, they call a foul.

    So, maybe sag off Randle a bit and dare him to shoot jumpers?

    Always liked Randle and when he became available, thought he would be very good here.

    Still, giving up 31 points in the 1st to a non-Davis/Payton team is a bit underwhelming.

    I’ve seen enough of Stauskas skill set... I think he would be a much better fit in starting lineup at SG next to Dame... I’m more sure than ever we need to trade CJ and his 30 mil salary for an upgrade at SF/PF

    Yeah, if Davis was in this game, it would be quite a different score. And not in our favor either.

    Randal sure has a nice combo of quickness and strength. Very lively!

    LOL, interviewing NO coach who talks about guarding threes, while he speaks Seth hits a three.

    That pass by cj in the 1st was absurd. It had 0 chance to not be intercepted.
