Conservation curmudgeon by day.
Mostly here for NOLA, Pelicans, COYS, and avoiding responsibilities.
Thoughts are, unfortunately, my own.

Pelicans have a chance to go 4-1 over this 5 game stretch, which has plenty of practice/rest time and only one away game. Already beat the Blazers, then get wins against Bulls, Pacers, Mavs. Loss to the Rockets.

Another positive of Poole coming back is it keeps Jose closer to 20 minutes, which is probably his sweet spot for effectiveness.

Run an undermanned team off your home court. That's exactly what you want to see. Good job, Pels.

Pelicans need some stops and to get to the line (which will be hard with these refs). Getting in a run and gun battle is only going to favor Portland.

Might be the worst ref crew we've seen this season.

I am OK with the Pelicans being a bad 2nd quarter team, but they better come out and punch these guys out in the 3rd.

Need to get some ball movement back. Making it too easy for Portland and their length to defend.

Replacing the Hawkins minutes with someone who can actually shoot appears to be a positive.

JB a little lopsided with his offensive talent distribution, but probably trying to figure out how he wants to use Poole.

OK, if the Pelicans lose this one I might be upset.
The Trail Blazers are without a slew of players tonight against the Pelicans:
Donovan Clingan
Scoot Henderson
Jrue Holiday
Damian Lillard
Matisse Thybulle
Blake Wesley
Yang Hansen
Robert Williams
And they're favored by 4.0 points in New Orleans.

That answers that. Curious to see how Queen and Poole pair at some point tonight. Might be some real easy looks for Poole playing off Queen.
#Pelicans starters tonight vs. Blazers

Louisiana seafood industry relies on a fair amount of visa labor for processing plants.
This seems significant. Our Republican Lt Gov breaking with Gov Landry and having the opinion that I don't understand why more Republicans don't have - sweeping up people with work visas is bad for business. www.nola.com/news/politic...
