The New Orleans Pelicans and Zion Williamson grabbed a tremendous opening night win over the Memphis Grizzlies. While you’d think Zion would be the one to lead the Pels it was the 3-point shooting behind CJ McCollum and recently signed, two-way player Matt Ryan. Jake Madison breaks down the big win and looks at how Zion got stronger as the game went on.

Go Pels!
Everydayer
Good win Pels.
My team everyday
Let’s gooo
Always love a big fat W
Good performance tonight
Zion has never really struggled with adversity ON the court. No clue where you got that from. When he plays he is by far our most consistent player and rarely has off nights
I would love to see Zion get 50
no more point Zion is the real solution, this game showed us, he's more effective offball as you can see. he can play through BI who is the best playmaker on the team.
Gotta give it to Matt! He really woke up all the shooters in the 2nd quarter!
Great win!
Let’s go Pels from Australia 🇦🇺
Matt Ryan cost us the the 7th seed with that crazy shot with the Lakers
Excellent start as expected…👏🏀🇬🇧
Point zion and zion high post was deadly! I can see the potential. I also think point zion needs to happen some. I know people want BI to be the guy but when zion is rolling, we are unstoppable!
I would love to see Zion flash in the paint when other players has the ball. And for Zion to pick up his rebounding. JV, is hurting Zion by clogging the paint. The Pels need a big man who can stretch the floor. Why? Jare Jackson was meeting Zion at the rim with help defense. I feel they still need a true PG. For CJ and BI really don't want to pass the ball unless they are in trouble. This is why Zion lobs was so far off. And this is what happens when you do not have a pass first PG.
I missed the live but I’m here now
Every Dayer Here
Good win one down 81 to go….we just gotta stay healthy and 50 wins should be inevitable…..Najee Trey and Jose is gonna have us deep…..
Every day FTW!
I wanna see Zion getting the ball on the baseline with the offense spread out like lebron always ran with his teams
I'm a returning every-dayer, loved Will on the show yesterday and looking forward to your commentary this season Jake
As for the Pels, decent game.. i think if we see Val and Herb hit those 2 or 3 triples a game it changes everything for us; we can afford for Zi or BI to have an off night without it resulting in a loss. Then factor in Triga, Naji and José returning.. its great. Just stay healthy!
