Just win the damn game.

A Jazz win and a Laker loss and you can kiss the playoffs goodbye imo.

Must Win. Lets bounce back boys

I got a bad feeling about this. Kobe is possibly injured.. (I will update tomorrow about his status)

Our guys played heavy minutes tonight. And we never play good on our b2b. We're 4-7 this season on our second game of b2b.

This is a winnable game, but it might not be easy.

I think Kobe will be ok. His shot looked good tonight. His misses were long shots at the end of the clock.

This Pelican team can be horrible one night and play inspired ball the next. We have to play with energy from the very start of the game or else we'd be playing catch up against a team we should easily beat since its a 2nd game off a back to back.

This is a must win, cant afford to lose a game we are suppose to win. If they lose it would pretty much destroy our chances for the post season

Let's get the win!

Pelicans is a good team with some good players in it. You shoudn't take them for granted. I have a feeling it's gonna be tough.

You know it's going to be a tough game when the bookies only have us at -1 spread.

Just win.
