Yep! Props to Ham too for putting Wood on KD and props to Wood for getting it done with rebounds too! Wood/AD/LBJ looks like a good combo. We need two more on the team to step up!

It's game 2, new players to work in. Rotations being figured out.

5/29 from the 3 will do that |
Yep. Shooting was abrogious tonight. |
Ham should’ve changed that by scoring elsewhere |
Yes. I felt like the offense and the rotations were questionable. Clearly something Ham and his staff as well as the players need to continue to work on.

Hard to get a rhythm when he's playing almost 10 minutes less than Gabe fkn Vincent who was doing absolutely nothing. |
Gabe played excellent defense and took it to the basket at times. The shots were just not falling |

Love the twin-towers look.......imagine if that was Myles Turner next to AD. |

| I have us losing 2 out of the next 3 games. It’s not even a given vs the magic, but At Sacramento and the clippers will probably be a loss based on how this team looks so far this year. |

Not sure how effective Wood with AD will always be, but this a nice data point for start of season. Their length was an issue, albeit against a depleted Suns team. |
I like the ad wood lineup, wood is excellent at moving his feet just like AD, and they can switch onto smalls without losing size in the paint |

I think Hayes is unplayable...Wood has to be our defacto backup C.

Yea, wrong for saying Reeves is a big disappointment, he’s not. Both guards…Dlo/AR…haven’t been great and we expect better, but neither have been soooo bad to receive the negativity. Plus it’s game 2 of the season.

Vincent played better defense. Goodwin was getting by him early. And there is something you have to consider he played this summer and he’s never played a full season before or starters minutes all the time. He has always missed a fourth the year with hamstring issues so there not a reason to push his minutes. Vincent just played better defense than Russell or Austin tonight.
Rui also has little to worry about. His minutes will come from Hayes and Reddish eventually. I’m not worried about either. I’ll bank on Reddish and Hayes sitting with Rui and Vando playing as the season goes on. |

If Wood keeps that up, this team is going to be an issue for many. Loved how the extra size gave us more boards as well / restricted Suns possessions.

Gabe was huge for us today. His shot was way off, but he was giving us great effort plays and played great defense. He was a big reason we scratched out the W today. |

Gabe Vincent is 0-9 from three so far as a Laker. I guess this is just the Gabe experience. He can catch fire or just miss everything. |

It’s not jitters it’s giving Hayes and Reddish a chance. Rui see the same sporadic time last year in season to the playoffs came. He will be fine. |

Not jitters... Ham is putting him in there in the wrong line-up. I think he needs to start over TP. |

Less Gabe

Game 2, it’s fine.
Some of you act like it’s game 60 and we have issues.
We have some new players, the team getting used to each other.
It’s game 2.
I like the comeback. I liked the inspired 4th quarter play.
That’s what I want to see this year.
Let’s not over analyze each player.
The Austin and Rui comments about getting overpaid is simply idiotic. It’s game 2…. |

I look at our really lethargic play these two games definitely not being a rotation issue like last season.
Darvin still running the three guard lineups like last season but this time around instead of Dennis, DLo, Lonnie it’s
DLo, Gabe, and Austin. Or even DLo, Gabe, and Cam.
Much better size but unfortunately this is when when Denver and Phoenix cooked us the most.
Much better resistance when we play Lebron at the 3 with AD and CWood guarding the paint
Wonder how all this unfolds when we get Vando back???? |

Wood had 10 rebounds!
Nice. I was yelling here where are the rebounders.
Ham is an idiot. |

I wouldn’t throw the towel on Sideshow quite yet. Perfect small ball center to give some relief to AD and CWood when we play all the bum teams
I can see Jaxson definitely shining in that Javale role |
