These home and away games vs PHX tonight and Sunday are narrative games for Zion and New Orleans.

Much as i liked Embiid last year, almost every narrative game he had to make his case for MVP and PHI's legitimacy... they pretty much flopped in.

Pels need at least a 1-1 split but Zion will start getting the MVP chatter if they win both and he shows out.

if Pelicans make a move for Poelt mid season, I can see them meeting Celtics in the finals and giving them the edge, because Pelicans are good at guarding the 3 and simply put, Ingram and Zion can match Tatum and Brown in scoring in a 7 game series and they have superior handles.:manny:

Start??? He should already be at the top of the conversation: best player on the #1 team in the West, dominating on both ends with MULTIPLE starters out for weeks. Only player above him right now should be Giannis. :camby:

Tatum says otherwise. In the case of Giannis and Milwaukee, they've benefitted from a relatively easy schedule this far with their most difficult opponent so far being Cleveland. They haven't played any of the other heavy hitters in the East or West.
