Tough game, even with a full roster. Collison and Ibaka will start in the front court again, and presumably Thabo will start as well. Might be rough going.

I hope Brooks get's his crap straight and gives harden the chance to start.
With Collison and eventually Perkins starting at C Serge moving into the PF spot this team needs a third scorer. Harden fits that role so perfectly.
Thabo must have some naughty photographs of Brooks or something.

Hopefully Nazr gets a solid 20+ minutes. Certainly need him against that frontcourt.
Although obviously Collison is a good defender as long as he doesn't have to guard Dwight freaking Howard, so it shouldn't be that bad.

Sounds like it. The schedule is pretty easy the rest of the way, though.

Well, this is the Thabo I remember from last year.

Aside from the 10 points in the first quarter, I don't remember that.

Lakers hitting a lot of contested mid range shots. The defense has been a lot better than the shooting percentage would indicate, IMO.

I agree.

Aldrich getting some early minutes.
He really fights in the post defensively, which I like.

Getting minutes before Nazr, which is interesting.

Probably because Nazr hasn't had much time to practice.
Might as well get more game looks at Aldrich.

Aldrich is playing well defensively.
Had a awkward travel move on the other end though.

The offense is playing good, but there's been several times where Durant has been open and Westbrook didn't see him.
The defense is playing good, but the Lakers are hittting some tough shots.
Not much to complain about.
