    Just not having Brick and Ezell makes the opening of the season so much better.

    Leaves are on the ground, light dusting of snow, and the feel of a championship is in the air. Great time to a Laker.

    It’s coming …. minutes during games when on the floor we are going to see Austin Reaves at the 1 and Max Christie at the 2. And it’s going to be:

    I'm sensing this will be a common thread this year. Hyped for Saturday!

    Wait how are we supposed to know if that’s in shape AD or “didn’t work during the summer” out of shape AD? He always looks pretty much the same. When he does rock up a bit up top like when Vogel was blown away (like Ham gets blown away now) … Kareem here called him FAT. :D Mind melds with the digital imaging I guess. Those few here that claim the gift.

    :rock: :cool:

    I am hoping Ham can see what is so obvious.

    best to assume he's not in shape until he proves otherwise

    eliminates unnecessary disappointment

    and besides

    We have like 4 backups that can play his position anyways lol

    agree. i know i'm in the minority, but vando looked good to me, too. add lebron and reaves to those 4 and get the rui that showed up after his first (ugly) stretch, and we'll be ok.

    Definitely the result you'd expect from a preseason game with two of your top 3 players out. Lots of good things to build from and a few players looked good out there.

    If we’re going to shoot like we did in the first half this team is definitely going to make noise this year.

    Was happy to more than happy with how everyone looked …. except maybe Hodge as he couldn’t knock any down.
