Pelicans will be a greater threat than the Wolves

[Manny98]

Neither are threats

The only teams that have a legitimate shot at coming out the West are Denver,Lakers and Dallas

The rest are fodder, the Warriors are washed up, Suns are soft, Minnesota don't have the versatility to adjust in a 7 game series, the Clippers chances ended the second they got Harden and the Pelicans don't have the veteran experience needed to win

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

Wolves aren't healthy

[FireDavidKahn]

Pels is roughly playing 12 deep while the Wolves at 10. there really aren't many advantage to playing 12 deep outside of back to backs

Exactly. Come play off time rotations go to like 9 or 10.

Wonder if Wolves fans had fun watching Zion bully them last night

pels are a bad matchup for some teams but no wolves will go farther. zion/ingram/cj fit is clunky as hell.

He always does this against Gobert. Rudy is simply too skinny to bother Zion in the paint.

But surprised Zion's season high is only 36.

Then again I don't watch Pelicans games, how is he doing this season?

This season he has earned a reputation for being a slob that can't rebound, run fast, pass well, be a disciplined athlete etc...The guy actually seems kinda weird. Something just doesn't seem right about him. Doesn't seem like a winner. But it's his life so whatever. Hopefully he figures it out.

Feels like Zion always has a big night when Rudy is guarding him

and Gobert was guarding him? From what I've seen of the Wolves they are guarding as a team

Gobert is the rim protector so he's responsible for Zion feasting inside that game

he's not always at the rim. let's see the actual numbers instead of just meaningless trolling for a change. Simmons scored 42 on him while going 3-7 with Gobert as his primary defender

Where are the Wolves trolls?

Not on the basketball court but maybe at the buffet table.
