We can’t **** this next pick up.

Oh I think we can.

 

[grittyman]

Look at us. No bench, no real BiG and we probably facing Denver AGAIN. Hardheaded team

Dwight.

 

[MVP]

We can’t **** this next pick up.

I mean it's a **** draft. Will probably be used in a deal.

How to spread the minutes to beat DEN

Hayes vs Jokic for 12 min, AD vs Jokic for the other 30-plus
AD vs Gordon for 12 min, Bron vs Gordon for the other 30
Rui vs MPJ for all 48
Bron or TP vs KCP for 12 min when Hayes and AD are in the game in 2-Big lineups, AR, Spence, and Max vs KCP, Braun, and Jackson for the other 25
DLo or AR vs Jamal to close; Gabe and Vando vs Jamal for all the other minutes to wear him down

Lakers gotta go pure 2-Big with AD and Jax plus Bron or Rui at least 12-15 min a game when Jokic and AG or MPJ are in the game.

If Ham continues to give the exact same looks he’s been giving DEN the last 8 times they played them, we can kiss the season goodbye.

 

[darthska]

Also if Denver is still a better team, (including but not limited to the position of Head Coach), we can kiss the season goodbye.

 

[grittyman]

Save us year 21 Lebron

IF........

DLo can maintain his stroke......
Gabe can defend Murray in spurts......
Vando can slide to Porter.......
Denver's bench isn't quite as good......

And Bron/AD can get a bounce or two vs Jokic......

 

[moonman818]

I know the nuggets have our number but every game last year was soooooo close.

**** still stings

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Is what it is, let's go.

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

We more than likely had to play them anyways, lets go/

 

[noblekane]

so if we lose to the.pelicans do we host the winner of sac gstate or do we play on the road again?

also **** denver we are gonna have to face them eventually. might as well do it early.

 

[noblekane]

Loser of 7/8 is home versus winner of 9/10.

Gotta worry about N.O first... 7th seed isn't locked in just yet.

I feel like they gon do somethin diff with Val. Seemed weird how quick they hooked him today.

 

[grittyman]

I read that he was kinda banged up but before this game he had started all 81 games so they wanted to keep the streak alive...

 

[essential1]

Not having to travel and having 2 days rest is a great thing in LA’s favor.

Also NO is a Lakers city honestly.

 

[grittyman]

Cherish these moments, the end of an era is near... Lebron, KD, Steph.

 

[CP1708]

I hope like absolute hell it's the Pels and Kings that go home for the season.

 

[Lizakers]

NO had the flight delay and the game was an early day game, so they were tired I bet

They’ll be rested on Tuesday and we won’t have to travel. Should be a close game.
