Here's the preview of the Pelicans-Bobcats game. It'll be interesting to see if Jason Smith can shoot from outside early. If so, he'll be able to drag Biyombo and his shot-blocking skills away from the paint, opening things up for Holiday and Gordon to penetrate down low. Watch for the offense to grind to a halt when Stiemsma enters - with Boyombo able to guard the lane, the Pelicans likely won't be able to get to the basket very easily.
Thankfully, the Magic game is behind us - Geaux Pelicans!
