    I was more worried about the heat when LBJ wasn't playing then with him playing simply because its such a drastic change to how you game plan vs the team and when a player of that caliber is out for a few games role players have tendencies to step up.
    With the pelicans its different. They are a team that doesn't really know how to win yet. Monty has them playing some great basketball but they still lose every close game so if we shoot poorly and keep it close going into the 4th we should have amble opportunities to take the game over.

    Anderson is a blazer killer and Evans gives us fits too.

    lol. What are you doubting? You always lack context, this could be "doubting" in a couple of ways... context is cool, you should try it. :)

    Well, to be fair, if he hit his avg in 3 pointers against us, wouldn't that mean he kills a bunch of teams? He's just a good bench player, period. Not just against us. It's really simple.

    I can't take this thread seriously constantly seeing HCP's head on Will Ferrell's beautiful body.

    Yes you nailed it! If we lose tonight then this season is more or less guaranteed to be a one and done playoff team at best. We can be certain this team was an early season fluke. We should think about making a trade.

    Covers is showing the Pelicans getting anywhere from 2 to 3 points. You should put some money on it Rudy.

    Aren't you the same guy that used to jump all over anyone that called a non-elimination game a "must win"?

    Yeah its pretty stupid. I would say game 3 when a team is down 0-2 is a must win, no team in the history of basketball has come back from losing one of those. Obviously elimination games are must win. Outside of that some games are more important than other but none are must win.

    I'd say regular season division games against an opponent we may finish near in the standings are the biggest games; the most important games of the regular season. A game like that can give one team a win, the competition a loss, and determine a tiebreaker. That in effect can have the impact of three games at once. Outside of that NBA regular season games are fairly interchangeable. I'd rank this Pelicans game as one of the least critical of the season. We don't expect to finish near them in the standings, they are not an elite team we can use to judge the potential of our squad, and its a game on the road. A win would be nice; but a win is just as nice at any time of the year.

    This will be the Pelicans third game in four nights, although they had last night off. They were @Houston 12/28 and hosted Denver on 12/27.

    We've never had a J. Lukrofka on our roster before, have we? Who is that? That's a lame-ass name, also. Sounds like he has Teh Ghey.

    EDIT: Why is the last word showing in my post twice, but when I go to edit it, it's only there once? Denny, time to re-do the board.

    EDIT x 2: now it's gone.
