    Pelicans December 31st - New Orleans Pelicans vs Los Angeles Lakers - 18-14



    Here is a chance for us to win a game against the Lakers, who gave us a thorough beating in the in season tournament; I hope the team takes it.

    Since the tournament, the Lakers are 3-7 including a loss to the Spurs. They've been struggling. We need to take advantage of that. Moreover, we have a situational advantage: coming off 2 days rest, the Lakers played last night and it was a tough game in which both Lebron and AD logged 39 minutes - and their travel situation is such that they're getting into New Orleans only about 12 hours before the game tonight.

    So, they're struggling lately. It's the second game of a back to back for them, we're rested. Their best players played heavy minutes last game, ours haven't played in days. We're at home, they're on the road. And we have a reason - based on the last time we played them - to want a revenge game. This game is a real opportunity for our guys to prove something to themselves and others by showing up big. Further, last game we showed some promising signs of playing the right way in tough spots rather than resorting to lazy isolations, and I'm hoping that this is a sign of a new trend.

    Let's see if they can do it.
    Basketball.

    Note: Trey Murphy is questionable for this game with left knee soreness. Injury Report otherwise remains the same.

    Good to have Nance back for this game because we need all the help we can get against AD. The Lebron vs Zion matchup interests me, i think he usually does well with it and last game was more of an anomaly with Bron raising his level of intensity and Z not showing the slightest bit of urgency. Big game for Willie, see if he can learn from past mistakes and put guys in better positions this game (not use the 4/5 pick and roll)

    So Trey got injured on that play where Marcus Smart dove into his legs, which the refs rewarded by giving him a foul call. Awesome way to incentivize player safety.

    Turnover on the 4/5 screen. Willie did not learn. He has Jonas setting screens for Zion allowing AD to switch on him.

    Pels playing faster, getting the ball up the court quickly to start the game

    Jose got us an extra possession with full court pressure. Pels played with good energy in the first quarter

    Jose is just a menace on defense. Herb is 3/3 from 3

    BI is quietly one of our best iso defenders. He has quick enough feet to stay in front of guys and then rely on that crazy wingspan to stifle shots.

  22. #22
    You know that BI didn't foul Reaves on that last shot. Reaves lost his balance. Willie should have challenged that.

  23. #23
    Why are they settling for 3's man

  24. #24
    What an incompetent play

    Somebody call DCFS. Jose's committing elder abuse against LBJ
