Loss would be disappointing.

Is Bradley definitely starting over Rondo?

Let's kill these bastards.

Our bigs are better than their bigs, let’s take advantage of that.

AD is gonna kill the Clippers bigs. If LeBron is able to defend Leonard well, we should win the game.

This is where I worry about this team. Do we take advantage of that or do we just let Bron do what he's done for 15 years? Settling for 3's all game is the "modern NBA" but if you have an advantage in the paint I think it's easier to be more consistent and win actually.

Strategy wise I think we should take advantage of our bigs because they do have depth and perimeter defense.

Yup. This will be interesting to watch this year. How does LeBron change when he may not be the best player on his team any longer. How will the staff change what he's always done? Can we get consistent nightly contributions from anyone other than Bron, Davis and Kuzma?

I don’t think Lebron will have an issue mentality as far as adjusting, in practice (taking about in the heat of the game) he might.

I think bron understands we have one of the elite big men in the game and from his own words the offense "should" Run through AD. I'll be super disappointed if we don't take advantage of our bigs.

Exactly.

This will be true for most of the season.

Hey, iamworthy, sir; best GT ever.

I hope that’s the objective when they take the floor on Tuesday, to make the league scared.

I’m taking my son to this game. We’ll be in full Laker clothes .
Let’s go Lakers :clap:

Go Lakers!

Let’s not kid ourselves. This is a very good team. And they just added KL and PG... It’s gonna be a win and I hope it’s a statement win like the opening post suggests.

Let’s make a first impression that will echo around the league.

I’m talking about smash mouth defense. Let’s see it as advertised, Frank!

Been waiting for a exciting season. Can't wait! GO LAKERS!

TKainZero · Post #20 » by **TKainZero** » Mon Oct 21, 2019 2:57 am

I got to say, there isn’t a game I wanted to open the season with more than lakers vs clippers

Can’t wait

Also, whoever came up with Qing James is a total genius and I’m stealing it.
