The 3 point disparity in this game could be momentous.

Ingram is getting quite a nice welcome to the starting line up with all these defensive match ups thrown at him right out of the gate. Derozan, Butler, Durant and now Harden.

Quite the different team since the last time we played them. Harden should have his triple double, but I expect us to win it.

Looks like either Lou or Clarkson will get the start today to jumpstart the offense.

Ingram shifting to the bench. Clarkson and Huertas will be the starting backcourt... good adjustment by Luke considering what we're working with.

Man League Pass is such a terrible product. It's telling me this game is regionally blacked out when I live in Miami.

Now I bet people will shut up about Dlo being a turnover machine. The whole team is a turnover machine.

Randle is progressively getting worse this season. I keep telling myself it's a product of a depleted roster. :pray:

Yep we're incredibly frustrating to watch. How do we go from having a great start to looking like we did last year (ok maybe not that bad but i'd say barely a 25 win team).

I hate that we depend on Lou Williams so much. Lou is a beast but he needs help... He's not going to be always on fire every night until these injured guys come back...

I don't think Randle knows what help defense is.
