No one plays 100% in a preseason game. Lakers will not play lebron too much and probably won't play other vets neither, they just gonna abuse the minutes of players like hart and ingram and even maybe kuzma, they just want to see how the young players do during preseason and try some tactics and strategies against teams like warriors which would be west opponents if they face each other, which means we may see a new system for lakers but not 100% given by the players, so the result of this game would be futile. On paper warriors are still marginally better than lakers in every position except small forward which is damn close with lebron and kd positioned there.
True. They are just going to let the 9th - 15th player showcase their skills.
I watched Thunders and Bucks play and it is all just the conversations of the commentators that I am looking forward. Somehow they are updating games on the other side and team's rosters.
It is just funny that George and the other stars of Oklahoma just find out that the stars of the Bucks are just sitting while George is already 19 minutes in.
And it still went to overtime with George at 26 points.
Maybe he just to heat up his body.
. In all honesty there is still too much injury prone stuff in NBA, for example this year they made standing under a shooter a foul and I think Flagarant ? So that's gone, the game is focusing more on offense than defense and if its to stop injuries that's good but they have banned hand checking years ago and that was not any injury prone play at all yet it is more offensive now because of it.
