Key to game will be limiting AD's rebounding. He's gonna score but we need to keep him off the boards at all cost.

I think this game we will come out strong and set the tone early. Hopefully another win before the tough schedule comes.

I might be able to watch this live if I stay up late enough. Probably worth it.

The amazing part is we're either in games late or we're winning games and our youngsters are still learning. They're still developing... And we're winning.

5-4? We ain't even strech doe... Doooooeeee!

Pelicans are basically 1-deep. The plan should be easy enough.

This is another game where I look to our depth to shine. AD will do his thing. We just need to focus on ours. Move the ball. Don't give em' half a million turnovers, and just let our depth slowly squeeze them down. Anaconda tactics!

AD and no one else...
That roster is really bad...

Lakers just need to make sure AD doesn't destroy them.

Lakers guards should be able to carry them this game (Pels basically starting d-league guys)

Terrence Jones matching up against Julius should be an interesting one

Haven't been keeping up on the arena sponsorships...... Smoothie King Center is a very weak name.....

In looking at this matchup we should have the offensive advantage in the backcourt. Their front court has the advantage obviously.

Frazier isn't as bad as a lot think. He's an underrated play maker and he plays within himself. He doesn't make a lot of mistakes. Both of their guards shoot over 47%. Against our guard defense that could be an issue. That said, If our guards keep them out of the paint we should do well in this one.

The Pelicans' backcourt is arguably the worst in the history of the league. Clarkson, Russell and Lou should have a field day and carry the team. We all know The Unibrow is going to score a lot of points, do not let those scrubs have a career night and it will be a comfortable win.

They aren't that bad. While not league leading in anything they do well in protecting the ball and making plays. Their starter combined TO rate is about equal to Russell's for example and they play more minutes. They both shoot over 47% as well.

Not saying they are great but not the worst in the history of the league either.

At one point I think we started Kendall Marshall and Jodie Meeks. Quite as bad I would say...

I like Frazier tho, he's been maybe the only bright spot for them this season (obviously not counting Davis).

Excited to watch this game!

This is a winnable road game.

Key is limiting turnovers and getting rebounding edge.

Let's go Lakers :clap:

I don't like Luol out there at all...He just seems like a liability...

Russell's been weak on defense this game.
