Why wouldn't AD play?
He barely broke a sweat this game. Looked smooth all the way through. |
Quietest 35 and 17 game ever? |

Great, Rui backup center?
The rockets are very tall

Rui is the only available player on the squad who weighs more than 215 if I'm not mistaken. Yeah we're going to be way undersized. |

When AD sits, Lakers have ZERO centers.
The imposter starting center I suspect will be Gabriel. Then they'll have another imposter center as back-up.
Pretty unbelievable for a team fighting for a playoff spot. |

Hopefully they have been coaching in advance knowing he is not playing - What is the secret weapon... High Heels? |

I'd almost prefer starting Rui at center, at least he can space the floor and probably provides equal rim protection to Gabriel |

Good win.
I would play Davis but it is what it is. He shouldn’t have played the minutes he did tbh.
They may still get past the rockets tomorrow if Sengun (I call him baby Jokic) is still out. Jabari played center against the Celtics last night. He’s long but doesn’t weigh a lot so Gabriel should be able to hang.
I still would play AD but doesn’t seem like they will so next man up. |

If the plan was to sit Davis from time to time then it sure seems odd they haven’t signed a C once Bamba went down. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

Whenever Pelinka makes me think he might know what he's doing he comes right back and makes me wonder if he's just lucky when he does good. We should have signed a back up center right after the trade deadline knowing this was the plan. I could excuse the oversight with Bamba but once he sprained his ankle it should have been an automatic action by a responsibly competent GM to sign another center.
Anyway, I'm thankful for the luck or periods of competence despite the periods of time when we wonder what the heck he's thinking. I fear that...although we can compete...to actually win a championship we need his best effort, just a little better than he's given us. _________________ “When it looks as if it is a realistic possibility, I want to focus on winning a ship like it’s a goal that can’t be denied.

If sengun doesn’t play, rockets are pretty small too. Although they have giants on the bench, but most of them are DNPCD |

What's not to understand? AD is not 100% healthy... Stress fracture. They are being careful. |
