Is Lopez injured? Haven't seen him on the court yet.

Not yet.

Terrible help defense by the wolves. Leaving Zubac alone in the paint.

The Wolves are looking a little ragged so far in this game...

LOL with the fail dunk by KCP

Well, they are a substantially different team than last year. Hell, they had three new starters tonight. I expect a similarly slow start for us, though our system and particular players are a bit easier to get used to.

There's been a lot of talk about us pushing the ball much more this year, which we really got away from last year. I'm hoping we have a similar speed as this Lakers team, who is really, really pushing the ball every chance that they get. We have the players to really take advantage of that style this year.

Yeah, and preseason is always weird because coaches are looking at things that may be worked out by the time the season starts.

Man, Randle would've been so hated if he had been drafted by The Celtics.

Smart vs Randle debate have died long time ago.

I agree. I just don't like Randle's game at all.

So, as I'm watching this LA team, I just do not see how Lopez is going to be able to play this fast of a style. He's not nearly mobile enough to be effective in that kind of offense.

Lonzo is slow and plays hands down defense.

Remember this only preseason.

I haven't seen a game in so long I am over reacting to everything!
