Tuesday the Queens from the north come to town. Let's see if the Lakers can capitalize.

It'll be interesting to see how Russell does against Rondo.

Ryan Kelly working hard to make this roster. He actually looked pretty good Sunday, albeit against inferior competition. We'll see how much time he gets tonight. I was fairly certain he was going to get cut. Not as much currently though.

 

[trojanfight]

is it going to be a theme russell off the bench?

Will be able to see a live game on TV for the first time this preseason as I have a day off tomorrow. Be interesting to see Russell match up against arguably the best PG in the league.

 

[Retroram52]

Should be fun. Don't know if I'll be available.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

It's 2:15am here. Got the Knicks v Hornets game on to keep me busy right now.good game actually.

Huertas looks good! 6 assists in one quarter

They played really well including the 2nd and 3rd units.

Upshaw good on D and Huertas and Nance were impressive too.

DEFINITELY let Upshaw make the roster and cut Sacre fer-cryin'-out loud...

I see Frazier and Holmes going down to D-League, and possibly Black too - he hasn't gotten too much playing time this preseason so far. MWP hasn't been too impressive either to be honest.

Upshaw certainly deserves to stay on the roster.

 

[Retroram52]

Upshaw, Nance, and Clarkson played great. That dunk Nance did over the defender was completely lights out. Upshaw has made his case for inclusion in the roster and Sacre and/or Black maybe done.

Missed part of the game watching USC/ND.

From what I saw, everyone who played looked pretty good. I really liked Huertas, 6 assists in 12 minutes is pretty good, even in the pre-season. I thought Larry Nance Jr. looked like he has some of his Daddy's athleticism. Loved the monster dunk on Ezeli and the way he played before that. He went on a little mini-tear in the 3rd quarter.

Looks like Randle played with a little attitude too. Refused to back down from Draymond and at one point was saying "He can't guard me."

 

[Retroram52]

Tea TJF12. I really like that aggressiveness. We still need to continue to work on our transition D and D in general and I am sure that will get a little better when the starters and rotations become more routine during the season.

 

[trojanfan12]

No Kobe tonight and I think Byron is planning on playing everyone tonight so he can make some cuts.

 

[Retroram52]

Actually have a chance to watch a quarter or two with the Blazers in town.

Good to see ya retro.
