The Hawks are resting Millsap, Carroll, and Teague...well damn. Also Mike Scott, who always seems to light us up whenever we play them, is out with a broken toe.

So Horford is playing? Hey, he and Schroder are more than capable of being able to win this game for them.

My two favorite teams. I got a feeling that the Lakers are gonna pull the upset :)

BTW, what's the deal with teams resting 3-4 of their starters at the same time? Why not give one guy the night off one game, and another guy a break the next? It seems like the fans are being ripped off when a team trots starts their entire second unit.

Coach Bud only rests players on road games. I kinda hate it when he does too, because I want us to finish with the best record and have home court advantage if we make the finals against the warriors.

Schroeder's quickness and Atlanta's trapping defense is giving Clarkson tons of problems

Schröder has 20 & 10. I remember I wanted the Lakers to pick him in last years' draft. When I heard he was getting lottery projections, I was pretty upset. Damn, wish we could have traded up for him.

Got to admit the Hawks may not have superstar power but they are really deep with a lot of good players.

Lmao semi-transition saved Byron's ass from a 8 point first quarter. Lakers offense: 20 seconds of looking around for a perimeter pass that isn't there, save last 10 seconds for a pick and roll/iso that gets nowhere.

Jabari is... pretty good actually. He's about half a head shorter than Korver, but he tries hard on defense, seems pretty athletic and has made some high IQ plays on offense. Seems like a bit of a combo guard rather than a pure off-ball player.

Clarkson has a ton of upside in terms of offensive rebounding.
