Good. Fox has been on fire, and it's good to have Jose to mess with him a bit and try to get him off his rhythm.

We're going to need all the help can get against Fox.

I think Dyson and Herb will be on him 90% of the game.

I can't see Jose playing more than 10-15 minutes. I can see them putting him in solely to frustrate Fox, though.

He's always been a tough cover for the Pelicans. He's just too quick and fast for our bigger guards to stay with. And when you send help, he'll find the open shooter.

The Kings always cook us. I feel confident with this roster tonight though, should be able to get the W.

They're on a B2b. With a well rested Zion, he has to dominate tonight and out Sabonis in foul trouble.

To be fair we have never head 2 perimeter defenders playing at the level that we have right now. We had Jrue and then we had Herb but not overlap

Right, you can always have one of Herb and Dyson on him, with Jose in for spot minutes to avoid foul trouble and to be a frustrating pest.

Honestly I think Dyson/Herb and bits of Jose may slow him down. But Sabonis is a bigger worry. Leads league in rebounding, phenomenal passer. Larry when healthy did a great job on him but hes hurt. I can’t see any of our bigs matching up with him.

Good point. I remember him eating Jonas's lunch at times in the past.

Yea, I don't expect it to be a good night for Val on defense, but he does have the ability to at least match Sabonis by dominating him on the other side to cancel it out.

Zion needs to fricking body this chump and get 2 fouls on him in the first.

I'm screening/running everything I can to get Z downhill with Sabonis on him.

To me everyone needs to gang rebound. With Sabonis passing, Fox running, and their shooters they rebound and push it quick. We cant come without energy. I will say the past three games energy has been great.

Sad that we have to hope for this and not just assume we'll get it but it is what it is. And the last 3 games have probably been our best 3 game clip of just giving a darn.

If Alvarado has a steal w/ points tonight the Jose song will ring out in the blender which such force that it will extinguish the Sacramento 'Beam' and the Kings will be humbled to tears.

I'm locked in and ready for it.

Would be a great moment if Pels go on a run in the 4th and get up and Jose has a GTA moment. Place would go apeshit

Totally agree; but will we exploit that edge we have on offense with Jonas?? Too often we don’t.
