Pelicans will be a greater threat than the Wolves

[Proctor]

You heard it here first.

They've won 5 of 6, all against good teams. 2 of their best 4 players have been injured for some time and they just now got back Alvarado. Herb Jones and Ingram have missed time as well (and missed significant time last year). Zion has missed games due to rest and missed quite a lot of last year as well.

They're beating good teams comfortably while missing key players. Hawkins and Daniels have gotten reps as a result and Hawkins looks like a draft steal. When more of their starters return, they will now have an elite bench.

Barring an injury disaster (a significant injury to Ingram, Zion or CJ) I think they will be scarier than the Wolves in the playoffs.

Could use Greg Monroe though

wolves aint shit


thunder are the real upcoming threat in the west

[warriorfan]

i agree with this. edwards is great but he’s not ready to put people on his back for a chip and go all the way, rudy will get exposed in the playoffs like always, KAT is still a beta cuck.

Gobert won't have to guard 5 guys by himself. Amazing what happens when you have a good team around you

sga chet and the rest of the okc roster > the wolves and pelicans

Well said.

Pelicans are super duper deep and have 3 legitimate weapons who don't wilt under pressure. Health is their only question mark

Pelicans can't even swing the ball from one corner to the other

health is a pretty big question mark. Saying guys that can't even get into the playoffs won't wilt is quite a stretch even for a troll

What are you blabbering about? The Pelicans without Zion took the Suns to 6 games a couple years ago and accomplished far more than these healthy Wolves have. Pelicans have been handling the injuries that have popped up conservatively and what I'm saying is if their health gels for a playoff run they will yet again go farther than the Wolves. Even a Pelicans team with just 2 of the 3 of Zion/Ingram/CJ will probably go farther than the Wolves.

Their bench is elite. The Wolves is not. Towns and Gobert are soft. Edwards can't lift them all too far

got to get in the play in to get further. Wolves are one of the top seeds at the moment and the top D in the league.

[SATAN]

Yikes.

[Hey Yo]

Could use Greg Monroe though

Another Georgetown alum.

the Pelicans got played big time by the Gobert camp. back when the Jazz lost in the playoffs, the criticisms of Gobert's inaibility to stop premeter players flooded everywhere, now, he doesn't need to do that on the Wolves, but see what's gonna happen to Valančiūnas paired with McCollum who is a natural 2 when this happens.

they are missing the Trevor Ariza guy

[ImKobe]

If they could get BI Zion & CJ all healthy at the same time there would be a legitimate argument tbh but it doesn't seem like it's ever going to be the case. Pels need a trade.
