A win here would totally turn around the narrative about the team’s playoff hopes

This is probably the last game i'll be able to watch for 4 weeks except on weekends. Really pumped for it.

The team wants to go for the 7th seed instead of tanking for a better pick. I can get behind that. Giving our kids playoff experience would be great. Essentially our playoffs start from today. We kinda have to see the next games as 5 game series all of which we have to win.

I hope we can beat down that bitch Chris Paul today. Would be a great start.

I'm probably most concerned about how BI comes out. He tends to treat big games with crazy nerves and turnovers early trying to do too much.

We can't afford to get down 15 off a calamity of errors like we've been doing.

This would be an ideal time for James to send a message to Harden regarding who's the best in the league...

Totally forgot this is the first time cp3 and Rondo/Ingram would face off since the suspensions.

Bullock guy sucks balls

Also Macgee doing everything you have to reward him for his efforts FFS - he not getting back on offense or not involved because he knows his not getting it FFS

The girl that does pregame for the Lakers channel is the most annoying Lebron Stan I've ever seen.
