main question: who guards Zion?

Throw Carter Bryant at him and see what happens.

I hope the game plan is to feed Champ on the regular. Give him an opportunity to put the SF gig on lockdown.

main question: who guards Zion?

Barnes and Wemby when needed.

 

[pope]

Barnes will start on Zion with a healthy dose of Wemby lurking. Help rotations will need to be crisp

 

[Knoxxx]

Missi questionable…

Missi questionable…

business decision tbh

 

[Corso]

Who's going to attempt to guard Poseidonyama?

 

[scott]

Defensive game plan in this one, IMO, is let Zion do whatever he will against Barnes/CB (assuming we won't have Sochan or KO back... this is a game we could use them) and then just make sure we're shutting down everything on the perimeter. Don't let Jordan Poole, TMIII and Herb Jones kill us from the 3PT line and we'll be fine.

Yves Missi - now questionable
Kevon Looney - out
Karlo Matkovic - was out yesterday with a back issue, status for Friday unclear
Derik Queen - 6'9 rookie

I feel bad for New Orleans' levees right about now.

Any idea on the timeline on KO and/or Fox?

[STAT88]

Yves Missi is pretty average most games so him being out doesn’t move the needle although most of their C’s are injured.

Pels should have beaten the Grizz but their bench unit were all basically double digit negatives in terms of plus minus. Coach will probably tighten the rotation to avoid a similar collapse.

 

[Splits]

main question: who guards Zion?

I'd like to see Kornhub show him the business like he did Davis early on, set the tone

 

[Mugen]

I still can't believe Dumars got hired again and immediately traded an unprotected pick for Derik F'n Queen.

 

[spursparker9]

Any idea on the timeline on KO and/or Fox?

Recall they mentioned 4 to 5 games for Fox. Should be back by start of Nov

2 to 3 games for Sochan.

Not sure about KO and Waters

 

[BacktoBasics]

Game won’t be on fanduel. Gonna have to stream this one. Can someone PM what streaming site is good these days.
