Interesting Gordon at PG I think he has potential in that role given we could do with depth there

Beal and Booker resting up for next week just heard on the radio.

Damn I was pretty g'd up for this game with everyone playing. Was hoping for a good ol fashioned Laker stompin'. Could still happen but yeah we'll see

Still excited to see Gordon and Allen with the other starters. Interesting to see if we stay with JO out there

should be a good couple quarters. looks like there is some real game energy.

We're looking pretty confused right now. Grayson got a dome shot on Nurkic

Nurkic looks bad on defense early

I'm glad it's preseason because this squad is horrible right now.

Can Nurkic even dunk?

Bad on offense and defense.

The man cannot finish inside the paint without missing or getting his shot swatted.

Man don't even start that sh-. You were nowhere to be found in Game 1 vs. Portland in the preseason and now here you are. So freakin predictable. :lol:

That being said AD's athleticism is killing Nurk to open up this 1st quarter.

Our offense is a mess when you no PG nor a three headed beast

MrMiyagi · Post #15 » by **MrMiyagi** » Fri Oct 20, 2023 2:29 am

We are sucking bad, but Lakers ain't doing nothing about it.

AD is looking like an absolute beast

Let's just hope we never have to see this lineup starting in the reg season. It's preseason, but man KD looks unable to elevate the squad on his own.

Might need Grayson or Goodwin to initiate more sets, and encourage the rest of the guys to move around more. Too static.

We got Old KD, not the KD of old...

'Tis why I'm not taking this game all that seriously.

I like that Vogel was like "Nurk you don't have it tonight" and wasn't shy about swapping him out.
