Major weekend of games but not really about us. Trailblazers, Lakers, Mavs, who is it going to be?

In order I'd take: 1) Lakers (cut off the head of the snake at their weakest)
2) Trailblazers (good matchups despite Dame being a major threat and still not having played them against Nurkic)
3) Mavs (scary team. Legitimately worried they could beat us in a series)

NOTE - Time announced in game thread is WRONG... it's 6 p.m. Pacific Time, 9 p.m. Eastern Time... the 8 p.m. is Central time...

Vegas opened us as 11.5 point favorites, now down to a consensus of 8 points.. what is the sinister reason for their lack of faith?

Ibaka upgraded from "out" yesterday to "questionable" today.

Houston spRockets are pathetic. Still, I'll tape it!

Beverly with the back to back you have to protect the knee at all costs

Scrubb starting and Ibaka back this should be a fun one

Hilarious start

So far so good... I like that the starters are resting, time for the bench guys to impress.

Great to have that inside presence again with Ibaka

Team is looking terrible right now

Despite playing without most of the starters, Marcus Morris looking fresh with a team leading 8 +/- (Esq's favorite stat

) and 7 pts on 3-5 shooting and 3 rebounds.

Ugly defense but could be worse

Cousins giving us good minutes right now

How did THIS version of the team put up 69 in the first half??? Lol

Big Brain Rondo, lol.

The defense is non-existent. Rockets are getting whatever they want.
