I'm OK starting BI tonight as long as Luke learns from that experience. If we don't play well out of the gate then Luke has the evidence he needs to put Kuz in to start instead.
Like it's been said many times, it matters more who ends the game (as well as total minutes played). I really hope Luke strives to find the best 5-man units that give us the best chance for success. If it don't work, fix it! |
What about Ingram possibly starting at the 2? |

Yes, I like that idea better. But that only leaves Williams and Zu off the bench to back up both the 4 and 5 positions. It might work if Bron can back up McGee for stretches or we play effective small ball when Williams is the only big off the bench. |

This is another of my "win the games you're supposed to win" games tonight. In any other year going to MIN on the road and getting win would be a pretty tough prospect but this team is in disarray and not playing for one another. We need to go in, execute and get the W. We've got DAL later in the week so by weeks end our record could/should be looking a lot healthier than it is at current.
I'm looking for Ingram to come back from the suspension with some fire. I'm looking for Josh to bounce back from a poor game by his standards against SAS. If we get that and everybody else does their jobs we should take this team with no problem.
The next 5 for us I see as:
@ MIN (w)
DAL (w)
@POR (L)
TOR (L)
MIN (w)
that puts us at 5-6 after a really rough run of opponents. After this 5 we get a little bit of an easier schedule against ATL, SAC, CLE...It's early in the season but this is an important run of games these next 5. |

| We haven’t fared well against the Timberwolves for the last few seasons it seems. Hopefully BI can make Jimmy work. |

We made a lot of teams look good in recent years.. Lakers are way better right now so they should take care of business tonight unless Towns all of a sudden drops 40 on us after struggling in the 1st few games. |

Luke Walton said Brandon Ingram looked great in shootaround, and that he’s been itching to get back throughout the 4-game suspension. Walton didn’t declare a starting line up just yet, but I’d expect Ingram to start at the 3, as usual. |

I hope Lebron and the vets learn to teach the young players how to play well on the road. They need to do a bit more than usual. Yes - you Lebron

Don't mind seeing that
I mean PG is 6'9 and plays SG a lot
but is Brandon fast enough to chase SGs? or point guards?

Gibson having a good game against the Lakers is a given, still hurts when he made that game winning lay up a few years back when we played the Bulls. |

I have a feeling he will be waived soon. I don't think he envisioned being a 13th man when he signed here. |

My NBA2K19 lineup!!! Great going up against GSW. BI got the quickness and smarts to guard 1-4 with no problems. He’s the perfect shooting guard defender as well.
An before someone makes fu. Of me for mentioning NBA2K19 you better make fun of Lebron as well.
LBJ has said numerous times he plays 2K all the time and that’s how he likes to figure out different lineups sometimes  |

Yeah he’s been a total disappointment and disaster, we can use another a more talented scorer who can have a role on this team. |
