CRAP

So we have Moz, Zubac, Trob, Metta, and Black front court....

I guess I'd like to see Black/Trob play more and have Zubac back up Mozzy with Whiteside's size.

Hope its Ingram starting and Deng at the 4 rather than Robinson starting at the 4. Lets see if Deng fares well there.

Isn't this suppose to be DEEP's thread? He's not going to be happy about this, that Pistons fan did this to him last time.

Anyways, I really don't know whether to lose this game or win. I'm just going to say I hope the youngins have a efficient game on both ends.

The Lakers (11-20) were already shorthanded in their frontcourt with injuries to Larry Nance Jr. (left knee) and Tarik Black (right ankle). Lakers coach Luke Walton will most likely start Brandon Ingram at small forward, while sliding veteran Luol Deng to the power forward spot.

Reserve Thomas Robinson will play the bulk of backup minutes at power forward, while rookie center Ivica Zubac will back up starting center Timofey Mozgov. Metta World Peace also could play some minutes at power forward.

Yeah you are right

@Ducler, you gotta follow the game thread signup process.

We'll merge this to Deep's thread once his up... it takes him a while to post his because of the level of detail, geritol, suspenders, fiber, and icy hot needed for his process.

Hopefully we get the W and show Whiteside the team he should've joined in the offseason.

Miami's offense is yuck. They're playing like they're overmatched.

If we were up 50 I wouldn't feel safe. So 11 is nothing.

D'lo playing really good tho.

that offense was over reliant on wade for the longest time

man I still worry that Whiteside is going to dominate and get a new rb career high

Might be a little early but with deng/Ingram in the starting line up we look like a different team. In a good way.

And I'm a huge believer in Randle. This game could show us something.

Mog and Whiteside switch jerseys before the game?

Lakers 1/7 from behind the arc to start

That's gotta be weakest part of our team offensively .
