First game back without Cousins on the roster. I am very curious to see what our starting lineup will be. Let's get this W...?

Let's take a loss here but play hard. Need to keep NO out of the playoffs

Hoping to see Willie take the next step in his growth. I just wanna see growth from the young talent right now.

So rotation prediction

PG Collison, Lawson, Galloway
SG Temple (injured), Ben, Hield, Tyreke, Malachi
SF AA, Tyreke, Malachi
Pf Tolliver, Tyreke, WCS, Skal
C KK, WCS, Papa, Skal

Minute break down

PG Collison 28, Lawson 20...Ty may get more minutes briefly at SG combo with Collison or when he is hot.
SG Ben 20, Hield 20, Tyreke 8 until Temple gets back
SF AA 25, Tyreke 20, couple of spare minutes
PF Tolliver 30, Tyreke 5, WCS 13
C KK 30, WCS 15, Papa 3

Malachi hurt, Skal, Galloway, won't play, Papa maybe 3-5 minutes if KK gets in foul trouble or 3 random minutes here and there.

And yes I said it.

Tyreke will get minutes at the 4 a bit.

Joerger said he's going to let Buddy "get his feet on the ground" before he starts to put him in the rotation. In Joerger talk, that means 3 minutes or DNP.

Joerger also mentioned Afflalo and Ben playing the 4 when we go small.

With Temple and Malachi out, think he's gonna get some minutes.

I think he was joking with Ben.

Tyreke is hardy though, could see him get those 4 minutes.

I will be keeping tabs on the Pelicans/Rockets game as well.

Yeah, it's pretty sad.

If things would have turned out differently, we all would excited as hell for this game due to the playoff implications -- Nuggets are 25-31 & Kings are 24-33. This game is extremely important in this regard. But now? The time when most fans are fine with the tank, Vlade and co are still chasing for the 8th seed in risk of losing their own pick to Chicago.

Incredible.

Speaking of tank, we need to lose tonight since Denver is in the 8th seed... other important games left: Nuggets and Pelicans play 3 times.... we all need to become Nuggets fans for the final stretch.

Super excited to watch the team again, while the trade was not very good in terms of value I got to the point where I could not stand Cousins. Really want to see what WCS/Buddy can do and still hoping for can pull off some trades for another young talented player. Go King!

I'm terrified that New Orleans will win the lottery if they miss the playoffs or get into the top 3. I'd almost rather them make it and get the 15-16 pick than get the 10-14 pick with a chance to lose it with ping pong balls.

If that were to actually happen, and NO wins the lottery, we might as well quit watching bball. That would be the biggest fix since they gave the CAVs 2 first overall picks in 3 years.

It would be technically possible though. Just saying I'd rather have them make the playoffs so there's 0% chance that happens.
