Game 1: Utah Jazz @ Los Angeles Lakers, 8:30 p.m MT..Game Thread

Kinda think we'll see Al on Pau. Al's not well suited to guard McRoberts. I'd probably start Al on Pau and see how it goes. It could go either way.

From the Laker's board on RealGM:

McRoberts (toe) limped back to the locker room. X-ray was negative, officially a sprained left big toe. Also sprained L thumb.

Lakers will have to try small ball tomorrow against a strong front line from Utah if McRoberts (toe) can't go. McRoberts (toe) said he will play tomorrow against Utah if it is up to him.
 
Prediction: When the Jazz get blown out tomorrow, it's gonna suck a lot of our enthusiasm right out.

I hope it doesn't come true, but I have a feeling it will.
I have a feeling that no matter what happens there will never be a shortage of pessimists on this board to tell us that something bad is right around the corner.
 
If that's true, then it's an easy decision to roll with Al and Sap. No way can Peace guard him in the post. But I'd still guess they'd roll with Murphy. In that case, you can argue Favors, but Sap can abuse Murphy so badly that you'd almost have to start him. Peace can only hurt you so bad on the second unit.

Then let me try another to balance it out:

I have a prediction that even two or three seasons from now, hearing "World Peace" or "Metta" is still going to make me giggle a little bit.
 
The Kings beat the Lakers, a lot of people predicted that they would have rebounded that game. Hopefully the Jazz game isn't the one they rebound on.
