this is going to be painful to watch, but there's some chance we steal this game if Giannis isn't 100% still.

Going be rough but we can win . We are at home

We are going to get eaten alive if we intend to trout out that no center lineup

Hopefully they rest Giannis

Ultimate test for Ingram. If he can slow down Giannis we might have a chance.

Must win. We win 3 out of next 4 we can make some ground on the playoffs

Let the Greek Freak get his points... the keys to winning the game is stopping everyone else and getting him in foul trouble...

knowing our team, even if by some miracle we win this game, we will lose the next game vs suns anyway

I'd like to see that too, but I think with this small lineup, it's going to be LeBron and Kuz on him and I would guess, they're going to focus on making him beat us and limiting everyone else...
We'll see... Ingram has the length and the skill, but not the strength yet to really body up Giannis...

I think Giannis is going to get his, and Lopez is going to absolutely kill us... We have no answer for his size skills and range...
We'll be real lucky to get a W here especially without Ball...

We won games against good teams, so who knows, we may win this one.

I have more confidence in us winning this game than tomorrow night against Phoenix.

Why do you guys think we'll lose the suns games? We normally play ok vs them normally? But then again we don't have Ball

This will be a tough one if we're playing Kuz at the 5 again. He's improved a ton defensively, especially off the ball but he's just not physical enough to play most 5's. Ingram would get pushed around and I doubt we want to tire the old guy out on Giannis.

Rondo's presence with the starters kept us out of the pound, pound, pound we typically do with Ingram and Bron in the lineup together. We had good motion and I saw something from LeBron I've never seen much of in the last few years... him moving very well off the ball to the open spot. It was refreshing to see some movement and pace again.

I know I'm probably in the minority but I'd keep McGee in the starting line up with Rondo and have Ingram come in at the 8 minute mark to spell LeBron and limit their time on the floor together to the 4th quarter.

This Raptor/Blazer game as the smell of overtime.

Edit: Yay one of them won... in regulation.

LeBron playing defense tonight so far.

non playoff rondo

Rondo hits another 3 or Lopez gets a rebound.... which one is first.

holy crap
