From memory we play well opening night at home, though some of that might be the crowd energy.

I remember Kokoskov being asked how he'd celebrate after 1 win.

We were terrible in Booker's first few years IIRC. I remember getting blown out by Kings and Blazers (even Dallas maybe) in recent years. That changed for the last 2 years I guess.

edit: 2019-2020 Win against Kings 124-95
2018-2019 Win against Mavs 121-100
2017-2018 Loss against Blazers 76-124
2016-2017 Loss against Kings 94-113
2015-2016 Loss against Mavs 95-111

Well for 2 of those years we had Earl Watson didn't have a coach, so that shouldn't really count.

Oh ok. Cuz those women are hideous. They might be bad luck

This is the first (and last- I'm sure of it) time I've heard someone call Scarlett Johannson 'hideous'.

Best stagger bench combos I like:

Carter, Booker, Bridges, Johnson, Jones (Point Book)
Payne, Carter, Booker, Johnson, Jones (3 Guard Lineup)
Paul, Carter, Galloway, Johnson, Jones (Paul/Jones with Shooters)
Payne, Booker, Bridges, Crowder, Ayton (Payne with Starters)

I just hope as many of our guys will be available as possible for the game.

Are you assuming Saric is out here?

Btw has it been mentioned, is Paul 100% playing?

We are only missing Saric as far as I know.

Scarjo has not aged well.

Saric said he's only practiced against coaches and is looking to be back within a week.

So the 2nd Sacramento game might be best case.

Yeah based on everything that’s being reported, I don’t think we will see Saric play this calendar year.

I just hope this isn’t a recurring issue once he gets back and that he can just play without issues then.

Frank was talked for a few good games he had at the start of last season as potential long-term solution. Hopefully he can replicate it while Saric is out, before he turns again into a player, who coasts and is still in the league because of height and some shooting touch. Better not have such players around Ayton.
