— New Orleans Pelicans (@PelicansNBA) February 9, 2024

4 game win streak, including a win over the Clippers - who I have been informed in the past are one of the only teams that count - and we are now taking on the Lakers.

Lakers are currently 27-26, sitting at the 9th seed, and are 19th in Net Rating. Tonight is the second game of a back to back for them, as they lost last night to Denver, so hopefully we're catching them at a rest advantage (assuming our guys have used their off time wisely).

They've been .500 for a little while now, going 10-10 over their last 20 games and the last time we played them we won 129-109.

So we should be going into this game confident but not arrogant. This one is televised and the last time we played them on TV was back in December where we famously got thrashed; this should be seen as the redemption game, despite that win earlier in January.

Let's see if the guys can put together a 5th win in a row.

Hope JV is back, we’ll need his rebounding

We are on Free TV tonight. Every Pelicans game should be on free tv. Gayle Benson and Adam Silver need to get head out of butts and ditch Ballys pay tv platform asap.

go pels...

We need to wake up. Knock that smile off Davis face.

This is looking like a Vegas repeat. I hope I’m wrong.

Good fight back. Now keep this up

zion playing totally opposite to vegas game

We have been sloppy defensively so far..need the type of defense we had against the clips for this game

[13 - 3]

Griff on broadcast. Says he did not want to change regarding trade deadline.

russell doing a lot of talking

We haven't been playing defense. Letting the Lakers play like this after they played last night is embarrassing.

[AussieHornet]

must be so disheartening for zion with all the calls that he doesnt get

[13 - 3]

zion playing totally opposite to vegas game

You were saying?

[As I See It]

We had a fabulous quarter offensively. On pace to score 148 points!!!

[Fedupfan]

That was one of the worst things I have ever witnessed on a basketball court.

[djrnno]

Is it any wonder why the Fakers are the most hated team by most fans?? It's the completely unfair advantage the league has mandated the refs give Labum and them at the FT line. What is called a foul for them is NEVER call against them. It's to the point that ANY misfortune that happens to the Fakers I'm completely fine with

[AussieHornet]

You were saying?

not sure what your point is?

Scoreboard. Reminders of Vegas

[markid]

Lakers had a 50+ Quarter. That's really solid.
Also yeah this is going to be a very high scoring game...

[13 - 3]

That was one of the worst things I have ever witnessed on a basketball court.

And 1 mix tape tour thought it was awful too

[AussieHornet]

yeah its not as dire but at least zion is being aggressive

[djrnno]

It's the the attitude they have " How dare you call a foul on Lebum James" That's why I will throw a party and celebrate the day he retires and not because playing against him is scary it's the ridiculous advantage the league give him

[neworleanshoo]

Lebron hooked up and under Dyson and initiated the entire thing.
