Not expecting anything out of this team at this stage. Once we get a real 3 on the roster who can play defense I'd say we win most of our remaining games. Until then we can get leads but we can't keep them.

If the guy doesn’t abandon his “get knocked to the floor” style of play his career might not last long.

That evens the odds even more. This will be a tough matchup w/ Memphis on their home floor.
Zo is going to have to show up big tonight.

He's spent about as much time on the deck as Roy Hibbert!

Prediction - Lakers will be up, look like we have it in the bag. We'll let them back in it, led by Tyreke who will torch us. It will be another close one, where I'm leaning toward a very narrow win, but it could very well be a loss.

Oh well at least it won’t be 4 on 5 on defense.

Now if Lonzo can play aggressive and hit just a few shots, maybe they can grind out a 90-85 type win.

Memphis embarrassed in their last game. They'll try extra hard tonight. Lakers missing their only two shot creators (Thomas/Ingram) and Zo in a major slump. Free Agents to be certainly looking at the future more than the present making hero ball a distinct possibility.

Good game to skip honestly.

I hope Lonzo goes for 30 tonight... although people will just say it was only Memphis like they did went he went off against Phoenix.

Perfect team to have a bounce back game against... hope he can pull it off.

When Embiid sustains another injury, we will rejoice and mock right back.

He would have to shoot about 30 3’s to have a chance at that.

Lol minus Westbrook’s ball handling, finishing ability, shot creating, playmaking, mid range & freethrow shooting...

Scoring wont be an issue. If we don't give up 100pts in the paint again we win.

Westbrook... the basketball genius that couldn't win with both Harden and Durant on his team.
