Jonathan Isaac is out
Al Fariq Aminu is out
Michael Carter Williams is out
DJ Augustine is out

Evan Fournier is questionable

Mohammed Bamba is on minutes restriction
Aaron Gordon is playing hobbled

This might get real ugly early.

That's what we thought when we played OKC in Oklahoma and we got the W pretty easily with half the team out. You never know.

We are a 9.5 to 10 point favorites. I would say this is an easy double digit win.

It'll be crazy to try to figure out which sub .500 team we will lose to first this season.

I’d like to see LBJ and AD both sit this one out, use this as a try-out game while winning.

If I were Vogel, I’d milk the KCP/DH pick and roll with the second unit. The two have a chemistry thing going where they don’t need to talk. They’re developing into a good offensive duo, I think by thinking alike.

I’d sit AD and LBJ, and start:
PG: Caruso. SG: Bradley. SF: Green. PF: Kuzma. C: McGee.
Since the 1976 merger LAL 11, CHI 6, BOS 6, SAS 5, GSW 4

PG: Luka / Vincent / Bronny
SG: Smart / Reaves / Knecht / Mañon
SF: LaRavia / Rui / Thiero
PF: Bron / Vando / Kleber
C: Ayton / Hayes / Koloko

We're off to a slow start shooting and they are making their open shots. This will even out but we do need to step up the defense.

Down 6.... could have been worse. We need to get the defensive intensity elevated.
