    GREAT question. I really had to think about it. LMA is better NOW, but AD is the future, IMO.

    Happy Easter!

    This being a Sunday game for me, I will be scoffing chocolate eggs before, during, and after the match.

    The Pelicans are a disappointment IMO. With a healthy team they can put a starting lineup of Holiday, Gordon, Tyreke, Davis and Asik. That's a very solid starting lineup and if they can get healthy and strengthen their bench a bit, they'd be a good team next year.

    Keep in mind that they are being coached by Nate Lite.

    I been saying this for awhile. This team has a squad and should be much better than what it is. Personally the coach must be garbage or something

    Well I was going to be at the 200 level for this game until food poisoning happened.
    Might not even get to watch it now.
    Guess that's what happens when you get fast food.

    DUDE. I just got over the worst of my food poisoning last night. I feel for you so much right now. Sorry you're having to go through that!

    I would like to see CJ and Gordon covering each other. Hard to believe Gordon is only 26. (7th season)
    He is the player I compared CJ to when we drafted him. Both 6'4 but Gordon at 215 has 15 lbs on CJ.

    I do think he is a good measuring stick for CJ. Although Gordon is pretty strong, CJ may be quicker with the potential to be a better defender. But Gordon makes max money for a reason. I must admit I have not seen him play in a while, but when he was with the Clippers....the dude could shoot with the best. Injuries obviously have been the key issue for him. That and his attitude.

    Yeah Food poisoning sucks, I guess it'll teach me to not be lazy and make my own salad. haha.
    Especially when it gets the female in my house poisoned too.(she'll be referred to as female because shes yelled @ me way too much today.. like I planned to buy salad that was made by someone who didn't wash their hands)

    I don't really know if it's all on Monte.
    Tyreke/Holiday freeze out teammates too often. I question if they can play winning basketball on a good team.

    But they haven't been healthy. Holiday has most of the season and Davis has missed games and still they might make the playoffs in the tough Western Conference. How is that disappointing?
