weird how green looks the same and in his thirties in college.

i read no d'angelo(knee) and possibly no randle(hip).

time for ingram to step up a bit

[TKainZero]

No Randle would mean?
Who would slide in and start?

Nance?
Ingram (deng at pf)
Robinson? (Keep the bench together)


Lakers need to find a way to steal a win. Warriors gonna be out for blood after the lakers beat them in the last matchup.

Will be very hard down Russell/Randle

Randle officially listed as doubtful for tonight's game

[Crooked-I]

If Randle sits, my guess is MWP gets the start lol.

I hope you don't mean Draymond Green because he's 26, not 30 lol.

I know he looks like he is in his thirties now, and he looks like he is in his thirties in college. Not a bad thing, dude probably could buy beer without ID when he was 17 and get in strip clubs too.

Oh and if this team ever needed a full roster it would be today

[Landsberger]

Warriors at home? This could be ugly as I'm sure they want some revenge for the first game. We have decent depth behind Russell to deal with his absence however we don't have a replacement for Randle that fills that void.

Our best hope is we can shoot a high percentage and Steph and co. are not red hot.

[Mamba Mentality]

The thought of Calderon chasing Curry around scares me. This game could be over early unless our bench comes up big.

[SlimShady83]

Don't expect too much from this game or the next- how ever if we can keep it close with in 10 points each game I'll be happy < means we're on the right track - I don't want too many blowouts this year

[SlimShady83]

we're also on a back to back so at least we can use that for an excuse just like GSW did even though they have 4 allstars lol

plus we have randle/Dlo on sitting.

[ducler]

[BEazy]

I don't know I have a feeling we're gonna put up a fight. Just a gut feeling.

[moonpie]

Randle officially out

[Landsberger]

Randle sitting is good. Hip pointers need rest. They will linger if you don't shut it down. He didn't have much of an impact in last night's game and was obviously limited.

[Danny Darko]

Randle officially out

uh oh

well hopefully it unleashes Ingram to go ham

[Landsberger]

Ingram looked a little more comfortable in the OKC game. He looked for his shot a lot more than he's been in recent games.

[ak7]

2nd eye candy chick has a phenomenal....behind

[The Prodigy]

I hope they insert Ingram into the starting lineup with Deng at the four.
