Questions for tonight:
- Do the Pelicans continue their offensive outburst against the NBA’s #1 ranked defense?
- Does Tyreke cover Klay Thompson, and if so, does his offense suffer as a result of energy spent on defense?
- Will AD’s length prove to be too much for a Warriors team without a capable cover for AD?
- What is your prediction for the game?
Weigh in below!

1. The Pelicans score 100 points tonight, partially b/c their offense succeeds and partially b/c of the pace.
2. Tyreke gets worn down chasing Klay on defense and Monty makes an adjustment to put Reke on someone else.
3. AD’s length either prevents Green from playing help defense (w/ respect for the lob, ORebs) or AD goes off for 30+ points.
4. Golden State wins 108-102.
Pelicans will be more up for the game than the Warriors because it is their first national TV game in years. That will be the difference. If they show up unmotivated and flat tonight, I will cry.
