With Nance able to play small ball 4-5 and the Blazers tanking, I’d let JV rest too.

Famous last words but we should be fine with Billy/Jax/Nance as our big rotation with Trey also being able to play 3/4 swing.

Fun fact of the night: Before our first game against the Lake Show on February 27th we were 5 games behind the Lakers. Since that beat down the Lakers have gone 4-12 and are now one game behind us.

We'll have way less pressure on us in front of Lakers fans waiting to boo their team from their first miss. Sunday felt like a playoff game, I don't think this will.

a surprise 'Questionable' for Zion.


Come one, you are telling me he is on this trip without that being a distinct possibility, even if it is just to troll LA.

Windhorst on his podcast said the Lakers feel that the Pelicans purposely didn’t play BI to lose to the spurs to screw the lakers because of how good BI looked vs the Lakers

I think they just want him exposed to essentially playoff level basketball and being around the team that has built a crazy chemistry. They go to dinner together and stuff like that on the road and they want Zion around that.

Plus this would be around the time that he SHOULD be ready to move from 1 on 1 to 5 on 5 so they may want him to be able to get that work in. It just makes sense all around.

But I would laugh so fricking hard if he is either doubtful or questionable on the injury report on Friday

Speaking of Paul George, I, for one, am glad to see him back. I've got a strong feeling Knicks will finish ahead of Lakers overall and Lakers will finish 10th in West. I want it to be as hard as possible for the Lakers to sneak back in by winning the 2 play-in games. I thought the Clips were the weakest of the 7-10 teams in the West play-in. With the return of PG, they will be a formidable opponent for the Lakers, or anyone else, in a play-in game...I WANT THAT PICK !!!

We all want that pick, just root for the Spurs to get in. I dont want the Lakers in the play in. As much as I hate the Lakers, Lebron and AD, when healthy, they could beat anybody on a given night.

The Lakers have ruled LeBron James (left ankle) out Thursday at Utah while Anthony Davis (right foot) is listed as doubtful.

Its rare for a player to go from ruled out this early to playing the next day.

He may actually be out for us.

LeBron James has returned to LA for further treatment and evaluation of his ankle injury, the Lakers say. He was ruled out for tomorrow’s game in Utah already.

Wizards win.

Knicks lose

Spurs getting their brakes beaten off currently

Not an ideal night for pick watch but also not a total loss.
