Pelicans vs Lakers should be a fun one

Worth asking if it's even possible to generate good looks with Zion on the floor in the clutch.
Especially when the late game offense is still a war crime

The Pelicans are a better team when Zion plays, but to what end? They still don't win games. It's tough to get enjoyment out of watching him in this mess.

Bryce McGowens getting a start for the Pelicans tonight. Trey Murphy OUT

Zach Edey +39 in a three point game

The second Edey sits, the Pels start to cook

Yves Missi gets the start out of half over Queen
November 27, 2025 at 2:21 AM
Yves Missi is just destroying the Grizzlies with his motor and athleticism

Jose Alvarado, who blends in perfectly with the sideline red, pulls off the GTA
November 27, 2025 at 1:43 AM
Don't know if someone has mad this observation yet, but Devonte' Graham had a great year in Charlotte under Borrego. Jose Alvarado might be on his way to a special year

One of the many reason the "could an elite NCAA team beat a mediocre NBA team?" debate has always been ridiculous. You think the backup big at Florida is combining size, skill, and hoops IQ like this?
Two minutes of Kevon Looney absolutely cooking one on one after practice to remind you that NBA players are better basketball players than anyone you've ever seen

Zion Williamson sprint conditioning after practice. Zion recently missed time with a hamstring injury and the staff is continuing to work with him to get off the minutes restriction

Pelicans had their best shot quality of the season last night and a rim+ 3 rate of 84.76%.

This would be the Pels 7th best rim+3 rate in the last 5 years.

Two Borrego games already in the top 10. Other was 11/16 vs GSW.

Today is practice number 2.
November 25, 2025 at 3:56 PM
Pelicans win last night was mostly due to their activity on the glass
November 25, 2025 at 3:44 PM
Last night was one Jose Alvarado's best floor management games

Let's say you have a coworker who 30% of the time is really helpful and makes your job easier. But 70% of the time you have to do basically double the work to cover for them.

Would you want to keep working with that coworker?

That's the Zion conundrum

Pelicans have only had one practice so far with James Borrego, and yet you can already see the schematic changes on the court.

If you hear boos at tonight's Pelicans game, it isn't the home crowd. There's a large contingent of Atlanta fans

Fears and Queen this first quarter going crazy
