I actually wouldn't be surprised at anything he does. I could see him start with either Favors or Withey at center and Diaw at PF. Hoping to see a little of Bolomboy with Gobert ruled out as well.

As of right now Gobert is not ruled out. His status is unknown. I'd be stunned if he plays but he is not ruled out. Not yet anyways.

I'm over Kanter, but it was kind of funny last night after Kanter got burned on defense leading to a Capella dunk, coach Donovan turned to his assistant and said "we can't play Kanter." Sure enough, Kanter was -10 in 16 minutes last night.
In retrospect, we ought to thank Kanter for being a douche, which accelerated our getting rid of him and Gobert's rise.

I also think Kanter would have been cancer for our group. Not to mention expensive.
I wish we had got more for him but I'm glad he is gone. I also care a lot less about his career now and have mostly moved on. I think he has grown up a lot in OKC. I hope Lyle's grows up sooner than later. I hope we don't have to dump him just to watch him mature and learn how he has to work hard to make it in the NBA for another team.

I am not ready to give up on Lyles yet either. I still have hopes for him, although he has made it harder to be optimistic with his horrible play this year. Dude can't make a basket to save his life.
I think all the comparisons with him and Booker are a bit unfair. If Lyles was given the green light to shoot 20+ times per game without consequences, I'm pretty certain his numbers would look much better. Still, it's hard to conclude he's got a better future than Booker at this point. Perhaps the Jazz did blow it, but I'm also pretty certain tha Booker on this team is a role player putting up much much less gaudy numbers.
Looks like Rudy is officially out for Game 2. Favors expected to start.
Sure would be sweet to win this one and watch the Clippers fall apart.

I wonder if Quin would consider putting in Bolomboy at the 5 and playing 5-out for a few sneaky possessions to see what that does.
