I think they’d be best to just let Westbrook run the 2nd team by himself and just give LeBron more of a rest without a complete drop off in offense without him out there.

Giannis plays every possession like it's his last. Incredibly hard-working player that is a superstar. Can't help but love the guy.

Also hope that Holiday's foot doesn't keep him out too long.

When was the last time Klay Thompson played? Must be a hell of a rehab process..

2019 Finals against Toronto. He tore his Achilles last November right before the season

It was so long ago that both the Raptors and Warriors were actually good.

I'm excited to see the Magic this season. Yeah, they're still gonna be pretty bad. But new coach, new drafted player that hopefully pans out in Jalen Suggs (and another one in Franz Wagner.....meh). They're getting Isaac and Fultz back. They could be a .500 team if things go well.

Westbrook is really setting the bar low for the rest of his time there it looks like…

ACL and then Achilles. Couple of horrible injuries.

Lots of teams have good "young" rosters. Should be a fun season.

I don’t even know how you play Westbrook starters minutes based on what I’m seeing. He’s truly bad these days and he’s a horrific fit with LeBron.

They could've had a GREAT fit in Hield. They backed out and took Westbrook instead.

I'm not kidding.

In related news, the Lakers heard that whitney mercilus is available and are DEFINITELY interested.

I say that they shouldn’t start Westbrook but then I look at the rest of their roster and it is complete garbage. Hilariously, they are going to miss Caruso.

Lakers are playing a guy they picked up on waivers yesterday from the Warriors (Avery Bradley) down the stretch :-)

The Warriors vs Lakers 3-point shootout. Live from Staples!

I can't believe I stayed up and watched this game but it is excellent. GS is my dark horse Finals team as long as they can stay healthy.

Steph with the 3-D and the nice opening night win

Lakers are a disaster right now and aren’t a measuring stick for any team this year, but the Warriors’ fate will only really be decided by what Klay Thompson is.
