Okay, gonna give this a try. See how my luck is. If wins follow, maybe I'll do more. If we lose this one, I will take credit for helping us land Zion.

Cavs are terrible. They have lost 10 of their last 11, including their last 8. And many of them have been blowouts, as they have been outscored by 167 points in these last 11 games.

They play incredibly slow (second to last in pace) and their D is awful (dead last). The only things they kind of do well is offensive rebound (Tristan Thompson is a monster) and they won't foul you.

Love and Rodney Hood are their key injuries. They will likely start Sexton-Burks-Osman-Nance-Thompson, with Clarkson being their lone scoring threat off the bench

For the Pels, they have a healthy squad, except for Mirotic. Their role players have been terrible on the road. No game should be an automatic win with this team, but this is as close as it gets, mostly because the Cavs do not force turnovers.

Cedi proving that length at the 3 is a weakness.

the whole Cavs team is either in the paint or within one step of it for entire defensive possessions, and honestly they should be. 4 below average shooters and Moore out there to start the game. This is what all teams should do

Maybe start defending the 3pt shots and let them actually score in the paint before you worry about it?

Good point by Wesley, they're 8-31 and have a full house.

Nice little run. Jrue and AD look comfortable. AD getting into the paint despite Cav's lack of respect for our shooters.

I still can’t believe our record. It’s hard to get excited for games like this. When you have a nice record it’s fun as hell knowing that it’s going to be that much better after this easy stretch we’re in. Maybe I’m just stupid, I don’t know

Watching Solomon Hill play basketball for the team I root for makes me want to vomit.

I've never disliked a Hornets/Pelicans player more than I dislike Solomon Hill

Was just thinking the same about Frazier. Two garbage players getting way too much playing time. The return of Niko won't eat too much into it either.

Was about to say, no way you take Miller out with his 2nd foul.

when Miller shoots, good things happen.

He makes at a high clip, or he is fouled.

Miller, SHOOT!!

Okafor looks good. Glad he's getting more burn.

Absolute definition of scrubs. What was the point of signing Harrison? Dude's no gem, but he's glued to the bench like Frazier's killing it ahead of him

Brogdon would be a GIANT upgrade over Tim Frazier.
