A win tonight would be huge.

Obviously a win is always useful, but before the season I had ''make a real playoff spot, not a play-in'' as a must for this year. Obviously we're teetering and the West is super difficult this year, even more so than most years in some ways, but a win tonight would be huge for that.

But it's also against the Lakers, who our most public humiliation of the season belonged to in the IST, and it would cap off a 5 game win streak to catapult into the post-season.

And it would hit 50 wins for the second time in franchise history. Would truly mark a change in fortunes, imo.

[Karas]

The Nance for JV experiment has not work all year. No evidence for it at all. Hate it. And now you're syphoning confidence from your starting center on the game before the play-offs.

[msusousaphone]

Four fouls on the Pels 0 on the Lakers.

Welcome to playoff basketball.

[Fedupfan]

The NbA is a waste of time. Always letting the script play out. GetCurry, Lebron, and KD in at all costs.

[Fedupfan]

Not contesting shots, PHX up 30, Pels sleeping…. Try better NbA.

No blame for the pels being terrible? The pels can end the script by winning at home

[Mount_Zion]

Zion needs to step up, scared of lebronc

[Mount_Zion]

Lmao

[Mount_Zion]

A lack of a rim protecting big is very evident when they play the Lakers

[Fedupfan]

The Pels aren’t even the same team we been seeing. They are walking up and down the court, as if they know the script.

So did the pelicans get extra money for this?

Nah they got told that it’s time to get Lebron, KD, and Steph in the playoffs and they have had a valiant effort, so thanks for their service. Kings and Pels ******** on as usual. I knew it all along when they started to keep blowing home games when they could have taken the fourth seed. They fell right into this spot so they can make the final game look important and blow it. They are walking up and down the court tonight. Meanwhile, Minny with the number one defense is playing just like the Pels.

[Mount_Zion]

Lebron layup after layup

Pelicsns don't have any rim protection

The pels aren't going to face any penalties if they win so they need to go win the game. Of course the NBA wants that, but the Pels don't need to agree with them

[msusousaphone]

They're going to come back after the break and let Bron try to dunk again.

[Jaxpel]

Lakers too long for the Pels. Their height negates good looks even from 3 and they keep Zion from driving.

[Jaxpel]

Lebron at 6’9” with handle negates shorter Jones and Daniels defense.

[Jaxpel]

Game over. Need Warriors to beat Lakers in 9-10 and in case Pels lose 7-8 to Kings

[Mount_Zion]

Damn fans left at halftime

[Mount_Zion]

Game over. Need Warriors to beat Lakers in 9-10 and in case Pels lose 7-8 to Kings

Got bad news for you..Lakers will be the 8th seed

The lakers is the 8 seed we playing the lakers again this tuesday

[dvdman]

This is pretty embarrassing for Green and the Pels on national TV and at
home. The Pels have to be the worst home team
in the NBA.

[Jaxpel]

The lakers is the 8 seed we playing the lakers again this tuesday

Doesn’t Sacramento have tiebreaker with Lakers?
