GAME THREAD: 1ST REAL TEST POST LUKA ACQUISITION: CLIPPERS AT LAKERS Feb 28th 2025 

Post#1 » by Beethoven » Fri Feb 28, 2025 8:34 pm

Yes this is the real game here folks.

You've all been watching them be whacked by bad teams, and beat good teams w issues:
(Dallas win when they had no bigs,
Denver win when they were bound to end their complacent winning streak (they forgot how to be in playoff mode during that streak),
and Minn win when Ant got ejected).



This is the real test tonite.
Second of back-to-back game.
Battle-tested clip crew minus kawhi and norman (but theyve all been used to playing w/o kawhi anyways)
The norman thing will be evened out by Rui missing tonite (I hope it's a minor injury)

Can we win?

Dunno

Pudgy boy, senioritis, self-proclaimed-Im him, and newbie coach better laser-focus on tonite.
See if they are really contenders.

It might be a throw away game tonight with a couple of players out and with their Senior player spending so much energy last night.
Vando barely played and again at "game time decision" status. :roll:
With many getting hurt last night, I will lose my mind if Reaves gets injured tonight, I say let Knecht and Gabe play heavy minutes and let the core stay fresh for Sunday.... the night I'm watching them live, . :D

Yeah I forgot you are the officially appointed thread starter here, but I did want to proactively make sure that the team, JJ, and LakerNation dude read this as they need to know this info about their team.

Would love to see AR take over tonite's game.

He's been pretty quiet since coming to LA. Someone will answer, who follows the transient team down the alleyway.

sounds like Rui and Jaxson out and both Bron and Luka are game time decisions... playing coy or are we going to give the Clips the full mental let down and expect Austin to score 63?

Austin Knecht... come on down mfer. Need a comeback game after the rookie cow flop you left on the court last night.
