AD also coming back this week.

It's not exactly what everyone imagined, but a Clippers-Lakers play-in game with George and AD healthy would be pretty cool.

[BoatsNZones]

Especially with Lebron and AD likely sitting this one.

Just insane that TNT doesn't have the flexibility to switch to the Bucks/Sixers games. I mean they shifted their casts mid-season due to the NFL, why not just change their coverage today?

I think these things have to be planned well ahead of time (you're changing the travel of an entire production team).

The Lakers may suck but there's still major implications for both teams.

Hopefully most everyone has figured out how to stream games by now.

It has nothing to do with streaming and everything to do with who is doing the play-by-play and the halftime/post game.

It's been obvious for a long time now which of these two matchup was going to be the marquee one - they need to be more flexible with this stuff.

Oh, yeah I don't even care about that stuff man. Rarely watch more than a minute or two of pre/post-game and actually prefer the local broadcast teams since they at least have a high knowledge of one team on the floor (unless it's the Raptors broadcast team, then I'll just switch to the other feed).

As far as flexing them off, they were never going to do that with a projected Lebron/Luka matchup (even if that is spoiled now).

[MrGoat]

Buck Sixers seems like it should be flexed but the last couple of Mavs Lakers games were actually highly entertaining and came down to the wire so maybe it will work out. I'm seeing Lebron is listed as doubtful though, that may improve the Lakers' defense but also may hurt the entertainment factor of the game because I would have figured LeBron would want to try to get revenge for what Luka did to him at the end of their last game

[BigDan245]

sixers look terrible...Harden just bricked a wide open 3.

[ReasonablySober]

How is this game not nationally televised?

[Badlands]

Giannis 5-5
Embiid 1-6

It's early, though.

[JN61]

If you let Westbrook get to know his guys he is still absolute master of passing to big men and in generally players inside.

[AussieCeltic]

What is with the Lakers defense these opening possessions? Simple pick and roll with Luka and Powell 3 straight and we’ve had 2 wide open layups for Luka and one alley oop to Powell. Horrible

[Archx]

Russ has a wide open look but instead rather gives it to Howard for a late second 3. The decision making is spectacular with this guy.

[The High Cyde]

Niang bro what is you doing lmao

[BigDan245]

Bud still looks like a dude who just walked out of the bar 2 hours ago and took a cab to the game

Seeing several Lakers games this year those pick and rolls are what Lakers have considered their better defense this year. If it's Lebron on the floor as center it looks even worse.

[Wolfgang630]

Giannis is doing it

[Castle Black]

Luka’s nasty. 15 pts already with 5 min left in the 1st Qtr.

We finna get 50 point thread today?

[dWadeOwnzYou]

Luka got some sexy step back 3 of his own.

[Petergrifindor]

...I would have figured LeBron would want to try to get revenge for what Luka did to him at the end of their last game

Looking how the game has started, he might be lucky to miss that party.

[BoatsNZones]

Lakers officially fall to 11th tonight.

[MoMan24]

Does Embiid ever just use his size, strength, speed, skill to score or is it always foul baiting/flopping. Its hard watch.
