PREVIOUSLY, THE LOS ANGELES LAKERS...lost 108-100 in New Orleans on Monday night. It was the second loss in the first four games of their five-game road trip which concludes tonight. The also lost in Oklahoma City in between wins in San Antonio and Houston.

The presumptive cause of splitting those four games: lollygagging.

The Lakers beat the Hawks 118-110 one day short of five months ago in Los Angeles.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
