Wish we would just sit the regular starters besides Sabonis since Adams is already out, doubt Russ would go for it though. Since there is a longer break after this game it wouldn't hurt to let Robes rest his toe & Dipo rest his wrist an extra day.

Agree. Our chances of winning it with Adams were slim, without him...we're boned. No better time to concede a game when you know you aren't going to win it anyway.

As you said though, Russ would never go for it. But all that's going to happen is that he'll burn himself out shooting 10-31, 1-8 from 3, or something like that. He'll expend so much energy on offence he'll be worse than usual on defence and we'll get killed for it, because we'll also have to have Kanter out there at times, which is a death sentence for us against golden state.

This is going to get ugly

If Adams is out and Kanter is playing center, might as well sit the starters, especially with it being the third game in 4 nights on the road. We're gonna get rocked.

I wish I had the strenght to not watch this game (and to not read anything about it) but... I have to ( too curious).

Just hoping for a good game from Russ this time and some big trashtalk against the cupcake.

Can't wait for GSW @ OKC. If the fans don't boo him in a HUUUUGE way, I will be pretty disappointed about our fans.

League Pass is on a free trial right now, so tbh I'm probably watching the Kings/Pacers game more than this lol.

Well at least Russ should get some rest. Probably won't even need to play the second half

If we want any chance to win I think we need to play a Memphis grizzlies game (slow the game down limit possessions don't go fast break too often). Not our strength but I think if we try to run with them we have a 0% chance instead of a 3% chance

If we play half court basketball against them we will lose by at least 35

Our halfcourt offense is a nightmare. Cosign this.

You guys are starting the game with a small line up. Looks like you're looking to run.

It's the lineup Billy used last game too. I think it's an indication he's prioritizing getting some bench continuity over trying to win these games without Adams.

fake but funny:

Could be trying to send a message to Kanter regarding his defence. Willing to start a small forward at center instead of Kanter for defensive purposes, even if it means we go in really undersized. Might be a tough pill to swallow for Kanter.

How much would it cost to have 20k cupcakes delivered to the peake before the next game?

I really doubt it. It's not like it's an effort issue even, Enes just sucks at defense. For what it's worth this is by far his best year according to rpm.

This 3 guard line up very interesting

Westbrook
Payne
Oladipo
Roberson
Kanter(would be better if we had Adams of course, better rim protection and switching)

Payne has a weird looking shot.
