Let's go get this W, OKC will be tough but the day off should help. Pretty sure Paul George will get a huge welcome when the starters are called out,it's a home coming for him so he'll try to put on a show.

Let's get the W and show PG what he will be joining, but as long as we put in a good fight should be fun...

Can't wait for Ingram vs PG13 will be better then BIvsKD IMO

WSB gonna murder us, but then again he murders everyone - Hope Hart does a good job on him :)

Is ball back this game? hope lolpez doesn't start

Also if we can put GSW to OT and Hou to double OT I expect this game to be at least close and hope everyone comes out blazing

I hope we don't give a huge ovation for Paul George. Didn't make an all NBA team last year, isn't a top 30 player this year. Are we so desperate for any name to come here now? I get it, that we stunk it up in Free Agency, (it feels good when someone likes us) but that doesn't mean we should fall head over heels for one Free Agent that wants to play here. We suck, i get it, but that sort of thing make me feel like the team is one that has never had any success and that we're flat out desperate.

Lonzo and Lopez could be back for this game. The earlier we get Lonzo back the better. I don't think i can stand watching more Clarkson and Ingram ISOs.

Cut this crap. He's 23rd in the league by RPM, 3rd amongst SFs if you take out the low usage Covington and Porter behind LeBron and Durant and if not for Durant taking it to a completely new level, he could even be a contender for DPOY.

He's still putting up similar numbers alongside Westbrook and Melo of all people. Pointless accolades or not, he's still an elite player entering his prime. You can bet your :oops: ass I'm desperate for someone with his ability to be in purple and gold next season; and you should be, too.

Go ahead and opt-in, Melo!

Paul George is easily a top 30 player and regardless, the lakers are that desperate.

PG is a solid two-way player & should be the #1 target as he will be 28 (LBJ will be 34 & Cousins is crazy)... PG will add 5 games easy, which is a 10 game swing... Give the dude some LOVE... PG can play...

And even if he's only a top 30 player or whatever, that still is a massive upgrade over most of the SFs we've trotted out there over the last few years. Xavier Henry, Wes Johnson, Corey Brewer, Luol Deng; those guys combined don't have the talent that Paul George has.

Westbrook is 4th and George 23rd. They are both that high, because the Thunder bench is absolute trash. I'll give them both credit though. They are playing far better basketball over the last ten games and George has been insane from 3.

There's no question here that he's better than anything we've had at SF over the last few years. That's not however a reason for just handing out 30 million a year to someone.

They ruled him out this early?

Lopez will be back starting at Center, so likely means Randle is going back to the bench.
