Takeaways
- The Pelicans -- it was a struggle tonight against Milwaukee.
- There was no answer for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brooke Lopez so that says a lot.
- New Orleans is passing the ball too much. I said what I said.
- Trey Murphy did not play but was listed as available.
- The Pelicans are missing a superstar player, and it's apparent for when they play other teams who have at least one superstar.
- Zion will have to add in a mid-range jumper to his arsenal if we wants to get to the next level.
- Lastly, the refs don't like blowing the whistle for New Orleans.

Yay ! * Jordan Poole was back tonight and he made a world of difference. His three-point shooting, confidence, and leadership were a ton of help. * Derik Queen is a problem for all other 29 teams in this league. This kid has a vision that hasn't been seen in any recent rookies, especially for a center. * Bryce McGowens was the second-leading scorer in this game with 23 points. He's stepped up in a big way. * In surprising news, Zion Williamson is questionable for Sunday's game at the Chicago Bulls. This is the first time in what seems like years that Zion's health is actually improving much sooner than projected. Whether this is a sign of Zion pushing himself or James Borrego pushing him, it's nice to see. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.
