Mirotic SHINES, Liggins is back, and Okafor!? With Christian Boutwell Feb 05, 2018

Show notes

Nikola Mirotic is here and the Pelicans are SAVED (at least from boredom). The former Chicago Bull put up 18, 12 and 4 in his first 35 minutes as a New Orleans Pelican, and the Pelicans could not be more pleased with the result of their dealt 2018 first round pick. With that being said, the Pelicans faltered early against the Wolves and never recovered. Anthony Davis scored 19 first quarter points, but it wasn't enough as the Wolves raced out to a 22-6 start, and our heroes never recovered. We speak on that, Deandre Liggins two year contract, Emeka Okafor's ten day, the trade deadline, and then we preview the upcoming matchups with the Jazz and Pacers with Christian Boutwell of the Advocate!
