Game 24: New Orleans Pelicans (7-16) @ Los Angeles Clippers (16-7) - 10:30 PM ET

If the team isn't at least 3rd when getting close to trade deadline, then they really have to be considering making some sort of move. 4th place teams hardly ever get to the finals, not to talk of win championships.

well MO played that possession like a damn knucklehead... we are at least winning despite all the mistakes. now we have got to survive no DJ and no CP for the next 6 minutes or so.

I see that we've added Solomon Hill and Terrence Jones to known Clipper killers Ajinca and Frazier. I swear I'd rather they be healthy, it always goes better for us than when they play their end of the bench guys

I've been out of work on disability for over a year* so hard for me to complain about someone taking a day off but I was looking forward to this game and seeing AD play. Hard to understand why some of these players take so many days off for "rest". Chartered planes, 5 star hotel suites, specialized diets and treatments and no more 4 in 5's anymore... So why does a healthy player need the day off?

Seriously, I remember hearing about players sleeping with their feet hanging off the ends of the bed. Vlade smoking in the locker room. Players routinely averaging over 45 minutes a game...

*Side note, I was finally cleared to go back to work after 15 months off!

8:55 left in the 2nd and Austin has already played 13 minutes, what's he going for, 36 minutes tonight?

what else?

I can't believe in a night when Raymond and Griffin are out, we did not start Wes and keep Austin on the bench to run the second unit.

Should have started Bass at PF, then Austin can come off the bench. Now with CP's foul trouble he can't even get proper rest

It was a family emergency

did we make the right decision to trade Diallo for Stone? this kid is looking like the next Kareem with that skyhook.... or at least the next Kevin Willis and his hook.
