how many times has ellington been cooked

When you add that to the lack of shooting on offense it doubly hurts you.

he won’t play and will get cut

Ellington is definitely this year's Troy Daniels.

Meanwhile Otto Porter is making the right reads on D and hitting open 3s.

and meanwhile we got 0 wings on this team but 18 guards.

fake *** shooters

This game is horrific

Ya I think resting guys is foolish. Let them play. They need reps. They will start out so bad if they don’t. We got an entire new team. Timing is horrible

 

[DLF]

Our best hope is that Russ follows the same gameplan during last two stops

That is: ask for a trade like he did to Hou and Was.

Didn’t think panic mode would set in this early

It’s not panic mode when you’ve been preaching this since the Westbrook trade and the anti-defense and size free agent signings. This is the baseline

It doesn't matter if we end the preseason 0-6 if we start the season 6-0. They just tryna escape the preseason with no injuries especially when one veteran already out for 2 months.

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

If everyone's healthy they're still going to be a top 3 defense.
If everyone's healthy, they're still going to put on a ton of rim pressure with Bron/AD/Dwight/DJ/Russ.
If everyone's healthy, they're more than likely favorited to come out of a hobbled western conference.

But this season is gon be way more scressful than it has to be if Westbrook isn't going to take/make outside shots.

Kendrick Nunn giving me Mario Chalmers vibes. Sounds crazy, it'll never happen, but he could start next to Westbrook.

 

[nermindee]

Ellington was slow when he was with us years ago and he is even slower now

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

I hope Monk gets a lot of playing time. He is a perfect fit for this team.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Dwight has been a standout in preseason. Looks even better than his last stint in LA

[DLF]

That was literally me last night as I ran down a lakers “what if…”

. Won’t let panic get to me lol. Breathe….we are ok.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

 

[DLF]

The warriors 3rd units/guys that will be cut got 30 points on our 2nd unit in the 4th quarter. M

defense is a huge problem.

ahh well. At least we got 6 point guards that can shoot

 

[DLF]

When the rookies picked in late 1st round look like absolute steals and potential stars but lakers gave away their pick for a guy literally no other team was interested in

 

[DLF]

THT and Monk injured. FML

 

[IslandBornRedNose]

Ah man, and it’s a groin strain for Monk too

 

[grittyman]

lol I recall getting laughed at for suggesting lakers get Landry shamet.

waive Ellington
