“they will have to play them both together at, at some point.”
Make your take
In context
LoweI just, I can't wait to see how they play. Okay. I'm going to make my next pick because what you said about Portland alternating between euphoria and like, what the fuck is happening with this team?
LoweI think that is going to describe perhaps at a lower level in the standings, a team that I think has to appear on this podcast almost annually, but especially this year. And that's the new Orleans Pelicans. Yeah. I have no idea what this is. I just don't. I don't. I mean, do you think
Mahoneythey do on any level?
LoweI think they appear to have decided that Zion and Queen cannot start games together because they've started Yves Misey at center in the preseason. And I think if you have any hope for your defense, that is the appropriate stance. But at this point, I think they are more invested in Derek Queen than they are long term in Zion Williamson and they will have to play them both together at, at some point.
LoweI mean, they're starting five of Dejante Murray, who I heard you on group chat correctly saying that like, boy, did he, he looked like the stabilizing force. Yeah. This team needs me. He'll never make an all -star team again, but wow, competent point guard play kind of just orders everything in place. Him, Trey Murphy the third, who doesn't love Trey Murphy the third Herb Jones.
LoweWhen he plays, who doesn't love Herb Jones needs to shoot it better, but whatever Zion. Macy makes some sense. And then you just come off the bench with so many dudes who need the ball, like Jordan pool, Sadiq Bay, Ben Matherin is here for some reason. Derek queen wants to run the offense.
LoweLike the names are all interesting.
