Takeaways
- The Pels are 3-7.
- This whole "can't wait until the Pelicans are healthy" thing is getting really old.
- Is Zion actually hurt or is there something else going on? It seems like something else is going on and that's why Zion has only played a handful of games in 10 games.
- Jose' Alvarado and Brandon Ingram have been solid during this stretch.
- Also, it's been really great to see these other players like Brandon Boston Jr., Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Jaylen Nowell, and Javonte Green play a ton of minutes and play hard plus show out.
