AD/LBJ + three guards set of (Reaves/Bev/Walker) seems to make the most sense.
Off the bench would be:
Russ, Nunn, JTA (one of Gabriel, Bryant, Jones).
Brown, Schroder on the injured list.
Christie, Ryan riding the pine and only play during garbage time.
AD -> gonna do what AD does
LBJ -> gonna do what LBJ does
Reaves -> pray he can shoot 35%
Bev -> pray he can shoot 35%
Walker - > pray he can shoot 35% and defend at an avg level
Off the bench:
Russ -> pray he can not be garbage
Nunn -> pray he can shoot 35%
JTA -> pray he can shoot 35%
Gabriel/Jones/Bryant -> pray that all 3 aren't total garbage
That's a lot of prayers. |

It appears Ham is going to be running 2 forwards, 5 guards and one big (AD, Gabriel, Bryant, Jones).
AD->LBJ/JTA
Bryant/Gabriel/Jones->AD/LBJ/JTA
and then mix match Reaves/Bev/Walker/Russ/Nunn |

And no change on Russ. He's still day to day. |

I feel like this is the most winnable game of the first 10 outside of the Jazz games. Over the years, no matter how good the Warriors are or how bad the Lakers are, Curry and the Warriors are usually shooting bricks in these matchups. |

I think they tested it out today... I seen a clip of him shooting around while his finger was wrapped. Probably was too painful to play on. |

Here we go, boys
Hoping that TDRock won't have to post anything on this thread for the rest of the season. We deserve a healthy year just for a change |

Interesting. I saw this tweet but earlier today Darvin Ham said that they wouldn't really know until tomorrow and basically they were saying he was a gametime decision.
Le hmmm 🤔 |

if the Lakers can lock down Curry... this is gonna be a W _________________ "Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money & position in society are the cups.

Never thought as a Laker fan (over 40 years) I’d be hoping for not necessarily a win on opening night but just to not be humiliated with a demoralizing embarrassment of a team 🥺 |

Everyone knows Nunn earned the start, hope he doesn’t get screwed over by Ham like Luke did Randle when Randle was benched after a dominating pre-season. Coach lost the locker room with that and eventually the team had a players only meeting out of frustration to address it.
It can demoralize a team when efforts and results aren’t rewarded…players wonder if they will be treated the same. Bev really hasn’t produced on the floor to earn a starting spot, if he starts it will be given to him. It can erode trust in a coach if he preaches earning a spot and then caves to name recognition. |

Agreed unless they told K Nunn the plan was for him to be the 6th man from the jump |

You should be a coach. Then again, there's Poole, Wiggins, Thompson. |

The sad thing is this team isn’t good enough to get stressed about…something that has rarely happened in franchise history.
Thanks, Jeanie and if you want to include all the Buss kids outside of Joey and Jesse. |
