A little switch up here, because we all should be rooting for losses. At least until February 7th gets here. The last thing you want is a couple of wins that tricks this organization into believing the playoffs is within reach. Pels need to play .720+ ball to reach the playoffs and avoid GS, in all likelihood. Not gonna happen.

So, let the losses pile up, starting on Martin Luther King Day. We want to be 'Free at Last, free at last. From Dell, Loomis, and Gentry, let us be free of them at last!'

So, how can we go about losing this game against a Grizzlies team that has been god awful lately? Well, the Grizzlies turn teams over a lot (3rd in NBA), so let's let Randle and Jrue initiate a lot of possessions. Memphis also loves to play slow, so lets give Okafor a bunch of minutes, going big with a Randle-Diallo-Jah front court

Honestly, it's gonna be hard to lose this game, but it's up to all of us to believe.

If Jrue wasn’t playing I’m pretty sure we’d get 150 dropped on our heads

Looks like Gasol is gonna play today, giving the Grizz a relatively healthy team. Pels will be without AD.

Real chance to lose this one. Fingers crossed

Who's watching? I'll turn it on in the 2nd half if it's close. Hopefully Jah plays well and can limit his fouls.

randle is the perfect player to lead a tank honestly

Can bring a dead man back much cheaper than it would have cost to keep him if he were alive

Okafor looked like my grandpa trying to pick that ball off the ground

I honestly don't think the Pelicans are gonna finish d a way to lose this one. Memphis is just that bad. How do you shoot 1-12 from deep and still lead at the half?

Jahlil and Frank played well from when I started watching (about halfway through the 3rd).
