tom ziller on the pels:
quote:
The Pelicans have been a sleeping giant since the beginning of last season, when they strutted off to an 18-8 start to claim the No. 1 spot in the West around this time of the year. Zion Williamson ended up missing the last 45 games of the season, and the Pelicans — while still a perfectly cromulent NBA team — fell back to Earth. They ended up barely over .500 and in the play-in. The Thunder took them out in the 9-10 game. Zion’s back this season, and not exactly playing at his (briefly) familiar All-NBA level but still causing problems for opponents. The Kings, for example, have no fricking clue what to do with him. Harrison Barnes is surprisingly stout against any number of opposing forwards, but Zion confounds him completely. The power and positioning on the floor is just so anachronistic. I don’t blame Barnes or any other forward of having trouble with him!
quote:
Meanwhile, the Kings had a tremendously bad stretch in the late first quarter as New Orleans erased a 15-point deficit more quickly than Sacramento had built it. Then the Pelicans dominated the second quarter to take the crowd mostly out of it. Herb Jones was a demon on De’Aaron Fox. (Tyrese Haliburton vs. Herb Jones in the title game?) The game felt in statis from that point on. The Pelicans a) are really good but inconsistent and b) have the Kings’ number. Brandon Ingram has scored more than he did on Monday, but this might have been one of his most impressive performances overall. It never felt like he was going to miss a tough shot.
quote:
The shotmaking from BI and C.J. McCollum, the floor-stretching and imposing length from Jones and Trey Murphy III, the consistent presence and power of Jonas Valanciunas, that damn pest Jose Alvarado — this is a really nice roster. Deep, quirky, flawed and really nice. The limits are a defense that features Zion and McCollum and the top-end ceilings of Ingram and Zion. Those guys are just young enough that they could be overcome. This tournament performance could be just the right launchpad to make that happen.

I’m not sure if I agree that the Pelicans are a perfectly cromulent team or not. Not sure how I feel about the power and positioning on the floor being anachronistic either.

cromulent = acceptable/adequate
adequate and inconsistent fit the pels under griffin to a T

Ziller is so sesquipedalian.

The Pistons had lost 17 in a row, but they were at home tonight against the 5-14 Grizzlies -- a great chance to break the losing streak.
Did it happen? No, it did not.
Wherever rock bottom is for Detroit, we haven't seen it yet. I don't see how they can fire Monty, but I also don't see how they can't -- 18 straight losses and counting has to be disqualifying.

I'm watching the Thunder vs Rockets, and the Houston crowd is booing Josh Giddey every time he touches the ball.

Imagine being paid by another team for 4 years that money and then signing another contract as HC.
He'd be on more money than Pop.

We already know LaVine doesn't want to be on the Bulls. So, is this real?

I'd guess LaVine's injury will be "real"...until the day he is traded to another team. It's the NBA.

Detroit with 19 straight losses. Monty Williams is getting paid 78 million for 6 years. Wild.

Looks like PJ Tucker has requested a trade away from the Clippers, he’s in interviews saying he wants to go to a good team he can help.

I get it, he's solid on defense. But that never overcomes playing 4 on 5 on offense, which is exactly what teams have been doing for the past 3 or so seasons with PJ Tucker.

He's a 6'5" 250lb 38 year old who never contributed on offense at any point in his career, and who's only defense is being extra rough with guys now.
He's not good, nor has he ever been good. It's real easy to look good when you're playing next to superstars that mask your ineptitude.

Draymond ejected again last night for throwing a punch at Nurkic
Silver has to send a strong message this time, right?
