D12
TJ
Casspi
Harden
Bev


VS


Stiemsma
Jeff Withey
Darius Miller
Tyreke Evans?
Austin Rivers


Evans is questionable. If so, they're very much depleted. Let's blow them out and we could rest the starters. Good to see Bev and D12 back, get their rhythm back and more rest for Parsons and Lin.

So D12 and Pat still a bit rusty. (D12 on D, only 1 rebound and Pat 0-5)

Ajinca gonna have a career night?

The team just isn't well prepared. I know Bev and Dwight aren't themselves yet but another day, the same sorry results. Time to look at the head man in charge. There better be some serious half-time adjustments or this looks like an L.

Another joke effort. 39 point 2nd quarter to a Pelicans team without AD, EG, Tyreke, Anderson, and heck even guys like Jason Smith and Brian Roberts. This team's lack of effort defensively in transition and in rotations is disturbingly bad the last 10 games. If we continue this, it doesn't matter what seed we get, we'll get wiped off the court regardless of who we play.

Quick question what happened to your previous asst coach? Kelvin Sampson? Because I don't remember Former Blazers Asst coach Bickerstaff being on McHale's staff. Did bickerstaff replace him?

Too much reliance on out-running the other team, guys run out of gas at the end of the season

Go Astros?
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Jeremy has been shooting almost 46% from deep last 10 games, crazy
