    Excited to see these bench guys step up...or at least get lots of mins. Let's go!


    Hope Hartenstein shoots a few threes.

    Looking forward to a period of time where role players have to do more than just stand around and watch Harden/Westbrook. I think some good could come from it...

    We may actually see some real coaching of MDA since he should have all the players under his command tonight.

    Let Clemons run the show for 30+ minutes. Put him in Harden's role. Let's see what he's got.

    Good way for EG to find that rhythm right off the bat. Get them shots up!

    Good game for EG to come back. Bad team and he has the freedom to jack up more shots to get in a rhythm.

    Expecting anything other than a loss is probably expecting too much.

    But hopefully someone steps up and take 40 shots.

    I want to see rivers be aggressive tonight. We will need him in the playoffs to be aggressive

    Being overly cautious given his injury history.

    Yep he can’t rely on a generation type player like harden to bail him out he needs to make these less talented players better on the court

    alternative history: MDA plays Russell tonight; Russell gets hurt; fans slam MDA for playing Russell against the lowly 10-23 Pelicans. amirite @LosPollosHermanos ?

    Pelicans will play down to our level and we will walk away with a glorious win.
