To day with that groin soreness and then no D’Angelo Russell as Billy alluded to after falling on his tailbone so that’ll ask more from guys like Austin Reeves Off the Bench so we’ll see how they put it all together and try to get this month over and done with we are underway

And LeBron James has the first one over to tooran his shots going to be no good weak side rebound by Zion did not play well in that game in the inseason tournament in Vegas against the Lakers well nobody on their team played well in that game so you know you know they have

That game in the front of their mind not the back of their mind they are really wanting to come out and perform tonight it was a 13389 pasting that the Lakers put on him that was CJ McCullum hit in the first shot of the game they’re Brewing ad

They’ve done that here previously hold so many franchise records though still we’ll get to those a little bit later on as Brandon bi of course the former Laker former number two pick in the entire draft in the front Co cour McCullum cross over trying to get around hore out

Of bounds it goes good deflection there because since they were six and six they’re trying to avoid that here tonight this is one of six games in the association valent Tunis a deceptive perimeter shooter from about 15 ft doesn’t have a great looking shot but the end result is all that

Matters and they’re coming up with the game where they beat Utah by seven here and the Lakers are on the board ruy with a 17-footer no contest on the shot an easy jumper for ruy Ry played 17 minutes last night course quickest turnaround of the year for the Lakers early start here

On New Year’s Eve they played last night in Minnesota 2 and 1/ half hour flight take a look by the Lakers here they come and it does not find BBT instead mccullum’s got it on its way for those crosscourt passes how many times do we see that b rides it up and

Boy the big guy running the floor the big guy does everything a rim run by Anthony Davis now Brandon Ingram he’s their go-to guy that’s knocked away taken Lakers once again get to deflexion it’s two onone it’s Bandy boy he had LeBron coming down the middle and they keep it in

Play now Williamson shake bake can’t score but he’s going to go to the line again they can defend outside but inside they have some issues the offense has been improving here Z lay it up a Miss C by the Lakers out now of England he’s going to try a

Three well second chance opportunities off of Miss free throws that is worse than an offensive rebounding regular half court Pelicans are four games over the 500 Market 18 and 14 LeBron James birthday yesterday and then the controversial end this is for sure a through if it goes

Down instead taken by New Orleans here they come Mullen good pass Zion look out look out puning the paint out of transition as Zion lives boy you’ve got to really focus if you’re the Lakers to have your energy going at the beginning of this one tonight R hore lost it momentarily

Flashing down the lb ad bailed it out only because ad went to the basketball if he stayed around waiting there been a turnover waiting to happen Brandon will it back out be shot a 15 Bo he’s such a good mid-range jump shooter in the oh he’s got the mid-range down P boy he’s

So smooth hard to get him out of his rhythm in fact he’s third in mid-range attempts this year in the NBA Davis the little Runner is there anything he can’t do unreal I don’t know how good he is at selling popcorn so to wait and see well I’ve heard I’ve heard Allstar

Caliber not in ba first team C well maybe Ingram P away Z again boy he’s got this crowded an early frenzy he’s got more points here than he had the last time these two teams play yes they did Bo the Lakers just eat him up all over the floor that time

C their high water mark was five games over the 500 Market 15 and 10 and this score is 1511 we’re 4 minutes in glad you’re with us we’re in New Orleans I’m new Eve see J McCullum the former Blazer valent Tunis doing work underneath trying to put it up he does he scores

That’s good work by Val junor he was surrounded by a couple of Lakers but yet powered it up from Lithuania he has five double doubles career-wise against the Lakers as a pelican Might Recall he was troed by Toronto this is going to be out of Bing

Wise oh beautiful LeBron I like it I mean that is a traditional hook shot made easily by LeBron James sweeper he had 30 and8 against New Orleans in the tournament semifinals in less than three quars inam again yeah he gets to gets to his sweet spots and then just elevates over the

Top Ingram with seven points he has not missed he’s three for three from the floor LeBron’s going to see a lot of d one’s coming over now they move off with Val chunis oneon-one on the wing over Brandon rebound dunis b ball toide taken out by CJ

McCullum Cullum and the Pelicans 10 and seven here at home currently seventh in the very competitive rest they block it awayy Davis absolutely ruy hore and then over a man that’s a block and Ru should be shooting free throw nice change of Direction at the last dribble and that’s what gets him into

The blocking Lakers won the first quarter last night they also won the fourth quarter against the Wolves Zion dribbles it off his foot he’s got valun it’s available underneath instead it’s Vanderbilt defense offense oh again crosscourt passes flat angled passes always get you in trouble we’re

Going to see Austin Reeves in a moment we are Courtside here at the Smoothie K Zion boy he you can tell he wants to come out and assert himself tonight well they all want to assert themselves they remember the last whooping they took def the players remember those things unable

To get to the final some un to play for half a million bucks Toran Prince from the outside talking about shooting a shot with a player in your face CJ McCullum almost all he had to do was put his hand there and he would have blocked that you know Prince back to- back

Single digit games after 10 plus in8 out of nine prior to that Lakers defense again they running LeBron James lays it up and iners taking advantage of these turnovers and getting out in transition that was one of the keys last night for the Lakers to remain close they handled the ball pretty

Well Minnesota turned it over quite a bit in the corner down it goes see got to stay attached to CJ McCullen can’t need him multiple threes now in 10 straight games for CJ McCullum with the Lehigh for four years Ingram that long wing span got a hold of it now McCullum not a

Great pass but he’s going to fire up long distance on fire right now yeah they make the Lakers play for their turnover there as CJ is really knocking out the bottom of the basket and New Orleans four out of five from three to start this game ad operating midrange going to get the

Foul he’ll go to the line and shoot a couple lar Nance will be assigned to guard Anthony Davis look at Larry Nance boy what Thrills he provided the Lakers during his relatively short tenure with him Lakers are in a Zone M that’s the thing about when you got a

Hot hand like that you almost won do anything play boxing one you can’t leave CJ around the perimeter yeah he’s got 12 a dozen fingery to there for ab Larry NS can guard multiple positions they just got him back he was out with a rib injury Miss 13 games and played in there

Last one against Utah mull feeling it that go room comes out he’s going to try it again try it again got to guard that guy well you think they would know
