[Tremendous Upside]

We may be seeing the unraveling of LeBron and the Lakers. Got to be hard for a guy with that much success that doesn't need the money to stay motivated with a **** show like the current Lakers. It's a long *** season and the writing is on the wall. SLC has played a prominent role in Lakers' drama history. Let's keep it going.

I'll never be sorry for LeBron. He made the crucial decisions that destroyed this Lakers team.

What about Vandy? Still out? I hope Conley will get a rest tonight.

Expecting a very low minutes total for Lauri as well. He just spent the Clips game chasing PG around a million screens. At his size, that's a killer

Resting Conley tonight? Please keep him fresh.

Honestly our opening schedule is bordering on ridiculous. 14 teams have played 2-3 less games than us already, yet we have another travel back to back. Wild AF to me.

With how hard we are playing you would think we would look gassed, but we have typically been the better conditioned team.

On the other hand, the quick turnaround on games has helped us keep momentum.

I'll echo the desire to not run our guys in to the ground. I'm hoping/expecting for low minutes and an expanded rotation to facilitate.

I'm hoping we some good minutes for NAW, Agbaji and Fontecchio.

This. I really want to see Fontecchio get some burn. We need to give him a real chance, not just 5 or 6 minutes here and there when we have foul trouble or garbage time.

No reason we should lose tonight, but take nothing for granted in this league. Coming off a B2B last night, wouldn't be shocked to see Conley be limited and if possible, some minutes towards guys like Simon and Ochai to help relieve some pressure off guys in our second unit.

Without Lebron and Walker, I don't think the Lakers have enough offense to win, even if Westbrook and AD go ape ****.

AD also on the injury report. He combined for a whooping 5 points in the 2nd halves of their games vs us and Cavs. He is sore or gassed.

Vandy is out.
