For some reason D'Antoni won't use Sacre. He should be good for 4 6 minutes.

He played 8 minutes at Brooklyn.

But he didn't spell Pau. Pau played 35 minutes in the game. I'm thinking there should be a rotation that allows Pau to rest. He's not physically strong enough for the minutes he's playing.

Pau's conditioning is getting better but at his age and mileage he should be averaging around 30 mpg this year.

Vegas doesn't think so. Pistons are favored by 5. Lakers could win, but it won't be easy. |

Sacre is 7'0" 260 lbs. He's not a player you count on for anything other than spelling. Pau needs the rest. I don't understand why he's not getting more PT.

That's what I thought too, until 32 quoted Kaman in the game thread, iirc. Kaman has apparently been cleared to play for a while, just getting no minutes. |

The only positive I see for the Lakers tonight is better team chemistry. Not sure if that will be enough. I think the team might show fatigue tonight. 3rd game in 4 days all on the road.

Just think this is a bad spot for the Lakers. Hope I am wrong.

I understand you're concerns, because the Thanksgiving stuffing might make the team come out slow today, but that doesn't mean the same won't happen to the Pistons. |

True. But I think the Pistons have extra motivation tonight.
1. Revenge for the beatdown they took in LA last week.
2. Humiliated on their homecourt by Chicago on Wednesday night.

Those are valid reasons, I guess we will find out, I'm not really Impressed by the Pistons this season, and teams who are bad don't really avenge loses like good teams do.... I'm not saying the Lakers are a good team because there record is also average but we have a better roster and unless we come out unmotivated and lazy this should be a win. |

It could be worse for the Pistons. That hotel food setup didn't look all that appetizing, so Lakers should be ready to go. Pistons have been getting the whole 9 yards with homecooked turkeys to perfection, easy to overeat and slumber. They'll probably be hungover and trippin from all of that tryptophan. |

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Mike D’Antoni said it’s been tough to get Kaman back in the rotation now that he’s available. First/second units have had good cohesion

There's the splint on @nickswagypyoung's L ring finger. Told me it's sore but he's good to play… http://instagram.com/p/hUUSyMS770/

This isn't accurate. His back has been better for awhile now. He was available for the Brooklyn game. Coaches decision. |
Thanks! I'll update the GT right now. |

 I apologize for creating this one(or the Nets one) if you wanted to create it, diando. Your GTs are well done. |
