    This was typical of the way kobe would zone up pnr with hopes of rim protection. Our hopes of rim protection are real slim against elite teams (76ers, bucks, raptors).

    You never see curry doing this, curry fights over every thing even with bad ankles.

    They should legit rest Harden this game. Don't need to have him try to go super hard against a stacked raptors team with no CP and Capela. They can afford this game anyway, especially with Chris returning Sunday.

    We really need CP to return in this game. But even with him, it's gonna be really difficult to pull this one off.

    You know if they rest Harden, they'll be saying he's ducking Kawhi. lol. This is going to be Harden's 30-point streak's toughest test yet probably. You know they're going to be hyped to stop him.

    Raps are not unstoppable away from home but it will be a hard test.

    Capela realistically won’t be back until the lakers game atleast. So the 4-6 weeks timetable is actually 5-6

    Win first always.

    Is the streak in jeopardy? Would love a statement game against Kawai if he plays.

    they have a ton of bench players who are going to avalanche us with points. i'm all for sitting james out and getting him some needed rest

    Really funny. I opened up my betting app just to see the lines for tonight, and thought how funny it was that one is able to make a live bet on literally anything including a game being played by the team Bank of Taiwan in the SBL.

    I googled to see what league this is so I can explain this observation to my buddys and the starting line up for Bank of Taiwan popped up.
    Guess who’s starting?

    Greg Smith

    Harden/Gordon and the seven dwarfs don't have a chance. On second thought, with Harden, there is always a chance.

    the lakers game was pretty much the target range, as it is the first game back after the all star break with extended rest without any games. 15 games will be missed
