Pelicans Don't look now, but the Pelicans... (1 Viewer)

...are only three (3) games out from the #8 seed.

If they can just "hang around" that level, and Zion returns in a few weeks, who knows what can happen.

Playoff experience for this young team would be HUGE!

Its funny how much i have seen that the pels should shut down Zion and trade off their vets

Pels were sleepwalking through the first half of this Chicago game but they exploded in the third quarter

 

[Dago]

Pels with a 75 point second half while still playing pretty good defense. Bulls got some garbage points late

Lavine was doing some damage for a bit but Josh Hart really started locking him down. Ingram was 2 rebounds away from a triple double

Pelicans have won 7 of their last 10.

Not too shabby!

And the young guys are getting better and better each game. Jaxson Hayes looked awesome last night and NAW looked very good as well, especially passing the ball.

Hayes has been getting better, but honestly Chicago had nothing at the 5 last night so it would have been pretty bad if he didn't have a great game.

With Wendell Carter, Jr. out, they had Thaddeus Young, Laurie Markkanen, and Daniel Gafford as their bigs. None of them are gonna bang with Favors and none of them are athletic enough to do much against Hayes

Levin is a baller for the Bulls!

Levin is a baller for the Bulls!

traditionally his defense sucks, but the Bulls have been a much better team on defense this year ranking 8th in efficiency in the NBA so I would assume he has been playing better as well

we held them to about their season average in scoring, but honestly some of those points were in trash time after we had put it away in the 4th.

Hayes with another double double tonight with 18 points and Pels win again. Unfortunately, Derrick Favors injured his hamstring in the game. I’m amazed at Hayes so far. I didn’t think he would play any meaningful minutes this whole season and he now has back to back double doubles in winning efforts. His rebounding is the most surprising. This team is just so exciting to watch and we are about to add one of the most exciting players ever.

lol at the injury issues on this team. Tonight has the following players out: Zion Williamson, Jrue Holiday, Brandon Ingram, JJ Redick, Derrick Favors, Darius Miller and Kenrich Williams.

And we still got the win. It was a damned gutsy performance

Absolutely! Maybe the most impressive win of the season, all things considered. Plus all of those injuries are relatively minor and those players, minus Miller, should all be back soon. Maybe even for the next game.

Hope so because just as big as missing starters was the fact that there was also no veteran leadership tonight.
Sure detroit isnt a good team, but the pels should feel good about pulling that one out
