Price and Ellington starters, Lin and Clarkson coming off bench (guess Lin is, haven't heard otherwise). Clarkson has limited minutes.

Kobe is not playing the last 2 preseason games.

Can't watch from where I am, so is the lineup already that announced in the coverage?

Word is, aside from Kobe, Jordan Hill might sit out. Hopefully means that more PT for Davis and Randle -- not Sacre.

As for the guard rotation, I'm getting a little nervous that Byron might be loving Price too much to make him a starter. (Seriously hope not.) Although would like to see Lin with Price in the starting lineup this game to see how Lin can play as shooting guard and as the focal point of the offense if Kobe and Swaggy are not in the lineup. Hope that Clarkson can get more PT also.

Lin seriously has to get some more time with the starters. He mentioned during his postgame interview that he hasn't been playing with the starters in practice. Might account for his better chemistry with Davis vs. Hill/Boozer.

whoa this lineup is built to depress

I guess it's a good last shot for Wayne to get his ass in gear and prove his stroke before he's casualty.

Sacre started. Only LIlliard is the regular starter for Portland and is only playing the first half. LeMarcus, Batum sitting out the game.
