I'm a big fan of high draft picks but I'd gladly take a win tonight. Too bad I won't be able to watch it.

Read on Twitter


I think this lineup change is for the better. Tyler keeps up the pressure on defense and will be better at getting Booker, TJ, Quese, and Chandler in position to score on offense, while Mike brings more scoring and spacing to the second unit.

Got tickets for tonight's game, it'd be really nice if we smack the lakers.

I hope Jackson has a breakout game. Would be nice to see him outperform Ball

I want to win badly, I hated our last game against the Lakers with that joke of a defensive effort from Bledsoe.

Yeah, at first I was thinking "I'd like to see Jackson guard Ball" Then I thought "Well who would Ulis guard?" Then I day dreamed of Ulis pestering Ball, Ball getting flustered, and shoving his arm away and Booker coming to his aid and us having another one of....

Lakers are actually a really tough matchup for us.

Lopez is our biggest problem now that he is a stretch 5. Neither Chandler or Len can run around on the 3 point line to cover him, and neither Chriss or Len is strong enough to defend him in the post.

Ball's size on Ulis could be a problem, yet let's not forget Ulis was defensive player of the year in college and Ball struggles against guys with speed.

Finally, Kuzma is a smart player. Chriss is not. That could be an issue.

The TJ/Ingram matchup and Booker/KCP matchup will be entertaining.

We need Bender to have a good game. We will need his defense.

Yeah, and don't forget Julius Randle who is playing great. A candidate for Sixth Man Of The Year.

I'm still shocked at Randle's Motion FG% on the Motion FG% tab here, where it also shows Warren being tied with Giannis and LeBron for most motion field goals.... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12BdADIe7ZyAnoBqheaLTqxokShGOU7wvHs2UuWDzF5Q/edit#gid=2099085025

And him and Warren have by far the most Cutting FGA.

Can you imagine how effective Warren could be if he could have played with Steve Nash.?

To be fair most players would get a decent boost playing with Nash. Chriss would be a huge beneficiary playing next to Nash.

Is Ulis still starting? Or are we back to James?
