I might skip this one. No way we beat the Lakers and I don't want to see Luka grin and Book shrivel up.

I hear ya. Lakers fighting for playoff seeding and the Suns fighting for the play-in. We need 48 minutes of relentless effort. Gotta contain Luka/Reaves and hopefully Dalton Knecht (as a Tennessee Vol, I wish he wasn’t a Laker lol).

Suns usually play division teams tough. Should be a good game but Suns need to start fast.

I don't see this ending well. I will watch. I haven't seen how Luka and LeBron play off each other.

Why not? You've seen it plenty of times before.

Too many times. But I like how they played the Kings. Lots of energy with Dunn in the starting lineup, and with Oso we play better defense than with Plums since he moves better. Also Gillespie brings more energy so I think those three should get some serious time together with Booker/Beal/Durant.

Tell you what. I will read from the start of this game thread, and if it seems like things are going well, I will stop reading and put on the recording of the game. I got League Pass over here in Norway.

I plan to watch the game or perhaps glare is a better word.

I don't see it on any station.

Edit: I thought it was Sunday already. Was getting depressed at going back to work! Good news! It's only Saturday!
