They can't possibly field a starting lineup without Howard or Jordan, can they? Steven Adams will end up with 40 points.

I kinda like the move of Lebron to C. You lose something on defense definitely but it more than makes up for it offensively. I’m also glad that it looks like they finally moved THT out of the starting lineup. We’ll see how this works.

Fizdale remarked last night:

“I think our fives still have a very valuable role on this team from the standpoint of there’s some great over-7-foot guys in this league that can just abuse you if you play small,” Fizdale said. “So we still want to keep our fives engaged. DJ and Dwight are important to what we’re doing.”

It kinda worked bec Wood lurks in the perimeter but I can't see James being able to cover Adams, the guy is just too huge plus they need fresh bodies after last night's grind.

No way LBJ at the 5 again?!?! This better be a mistake...

These clown line ups remind me of D'Antoni's Rockets...If that's what they think is going to be successful might as well not make the playoffs.....

As I had hoped, the starters are: Westbrook, Monk, Bradley, James, and Howard.

Reaves has to undergo some conditioning before he will be available. No point in making him fly around the country first.

Keep saying I'm done watching and to be honest I am...

But nothing to do until I go back to work next week haha

It'll be interesting to see how we come out on the second night of back to backs.
I like our starting line up with Dwight in there.
Memphis is young and will run this up and down.
We'll have to withstand their early runs and not fall too far behind.

Hoping for a decent game from THT. We need it and it would be about time!

Still keeping my attitude positive.

Let's go Lakers!!

Nope. I said I'll keep a positive attitude.
And I did. I'm convinced that's why we won

Another unnamed poster said "wait until the 3rd quarter" lol

Will the old guys be ready on the back to back? I'm old enough to remember back, to back, to backs and 82 games in 4 less weeks of season. Somehow no one ever used the back to back as an excuse. I only started hearing it after the early 2000's CBA.

I'm reduced to play-by-play watching since the game is on NBA TV tonight. Doggone blackouts.

I really like Bradley's game.

Dwight is also providing some good hustle on both ends tonight.

Russ shut the fook up stop complaining to the REF

I definitely remember those days.

League pass is best only $20 a month for me

We're in a cold spell since LBJ went out.
Need guys to make their damn layups.

Johnson has ok Defense for what he is doing

Offense needs to slow down a little more, way too out of control

We need to get more of the 50:50 balls
