AD says it all the time. It's a league of matchups.

We clearly matchup well with the Clippers, Nuggets and Kings and terribly vs. the Jazz and I'd say to some degree a healthy Memphis, Minnesota, Milwaukee, Boston and the Lakers.

Sacramento, Denver and the Clippers have zero athletic bigs that bother Zion. Kessler gives us fits. So does Lopez.

Our other kryptonite is extremely aggressive defenders on BI. Notably:

- Dillon Brooks
- McDaniel
- Vanderbilt

And one more area we struggle as most teams do, is when a team can put out four shooters and make Zion and Val close out.

Boston, Philly, Indiana, Warriors, are some of the teams that seem to just rain 3s on us.

The Wall can be broken if Trey, CJ, Herb and BI continue to knock down 3s.

BI really needs to sell more fouls against aggressive defenders and we can't force feed him when guys are in his head.

I agree with you to an extent but I’m more curious how it fares now that we are healthy.

Pelicans are a versatile team with so much depth we didn't even play our best shooter last night because CJ, Trigger and Jose are back.

I honestly believe we get better every day and we have the talent to beat any team. The team is starting to believe that.

Last night we put the league on notice. Flap flap.

ESPN and FS were talking up
The Pelicans today. We are a scary opponent for anybody.
