    The best video he's done so far. Giving him a media pass turned this analysis into gold hearing from the players and seeing what they're seeing. Just awesome.

    Wilson Chandler (hip), Gary Harris (shoulder), Nikola Jokic (elbow), and Paul Millsap (rest) will not play in tonight’s game.

    Serious? Because no Jokic means we have a chance. Assuming Randle and Clarkson are also hurt. LOL

    I just signed up as a Patreon for him. Love the stuff he puts out, and it's stuff I would never get to see or understand without a guy like that. Very cool.

    If they're not playing their best players, we better blow these idiots out of the water.

    Lopez and Bogut are available to play but Luke holding them out till Sunday to get more practice time in. Josh Hart will play according to Luke. Ingram and Lonzo out.

    Honestly if Ingram doesn’t have a concussion or a migraine I don’t see why he’s not playing. He needs the playing time badly, and a bump on the head is..not that serious.

    I agree but I think this is more coming from our training staff wanting to be cautious. Next game till Sunday gives our guys with some nagging injuries to heal up

    Well, I understand with Lonzo and the sprained ankle, but a bump on the head is a bump on the head, not gonna make it worse unless someone hits it on purpose and this is a contact sport.

    With so many players from both teams out, it’s going to be a whole game of “who dat”.

    Yeah either the coaching staff has not prepared these guys or the guys being "gym rats" all summer is being overblown.

    I'm pretty disappointed in the Lakers thus far...only Lakers that look good are Kuzma and Lonzo (he would look a lot better if these guys hit open shots).

    I think the talent of some of these guys has also been overblown.

    I wouldn't be this disappointed if the front office didn't hype these guys up the way they've did

    This may be the actual rub. All that sales work by Magic and the kids aren't performing.

    I also think they're not being prepared well enough. Coaches need to put kids in position to succeed and there's clearly a disconnect here between expectations and what we're seeing. The excuse is going to be that we're installing concepts and that we're still working towards a future goal and all that fun stuff, but at some point when do we see improvement? Why are we sitting so many guys if they need all this work?

    I've been very disappointed in Luke this preseason.

    I agree with all of this too. I don't understand what we're doing on offense at all and defense somehow seems to get a bit worse every game. Luke's got a lot to prove honestly.
