Interesting transition of the opening question to a game thread.
Almost philosophical.
And does anybody really know what time it is?
It's going to be real interesting seeing how up this team can get tonight knowing Larry Nance and Jordan Clarkson are no longer part of this team. Here's hoping JR and company can lay some smack on OKC no matter whether Westbrook and Melo play or not. |

Ok back to the real world here... we lost some fam, but it’s time to continue our growth tonight. Rally around eachother. Play with intensity and keep the game simple. HAM every possession. Spam the JR button. Ball rotation. Spacing and hustle. OKC will try to blow us out like they did the super dubs. Brace yourselves. Weather the storms.
Let’s go Lakeshow. _________________ DEAR BASKETBALL |

I think with Adams on the floor for OKC we're going to see a lot of Brook and Randle at center. Not sure if big Zu is ready to bang with that big Dothraki dude. Same for Hoosier Mamba.
Kuzma becomes a needed commodity at the 4 all of a sudden. Do we dust the cobwebs and mouse turds off Deng and set him out there to play?
Backup SG - Hart backing up KCP? With Brewer backing up Hart who starts at SF? So Ingram can be our starting PG with Caruso backing him up?
GP2?
Anything but Ennis.
Yikes. |

Gary Payton back today.
Hopefully he gets some backup guard time.
Thomas Bryant back today as well.
So TB and Zubac with some possible backup center time.

even if Carmelo feels OK, I bet he doesn't want to face JR again |

Thunder are favored by 3 1/2 _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

On cbs injury reports Melo is probable. Russ is Questionable.
Same starting lineup tonight which is good. Our bench will be thin. Kuz, Brewer, Caruso, Ennis, Zu, Bryant. Will Payton be available? _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

I would wager that we will have a pretty flat game tonight, just a gut feeling. I am really interested to see how Randle responds to still being on the roster. Either he is going to have a new found confidence and continue to improve or he will relax and revert to the old JR we all made fun of. |
