'epic' tank-off in Indy. Brooklyn threatening to win a game

WCoastD's avatar

Not to be a nudge but will there be a game post soon?

Bel's avatar

Geez, I don’t really know what to expect from our guys in today’s game with no Steph, Green, and Butler. Please surprise me with a WIN! Hopefully, Moody, Post, Hield, and Podz shoot as well as last night, plus more. And JK needs to do more tonight. C’mon guys, you can do it!

TwoRingTest's avatar

Podz is listed as available on the latest injury report! Whew. I had visions of Gui as a point-forward.

A little concerned about an umlaut revenge game, particularly with key starters out. Could be a real flop-fest

TwoRingTest's avatar

See, I want Schröder to go nuts. We've got plenty of guys who can defend him well now. Let's see him take 15 shots and make 4 of them.

fzwinter's avatar

I'm hoping for similar numbers for Westbrook. Like to see him make his first shot and then keep firing away.

Bel's avatar

At the end of the first quarter, Klay has the most points (5). Lol!

Sabiscrashingout.'s avatar

Now 8. In 9 minutes played.

Loon Gehrig's avatar

And it's a 9-0 Pelicans run to start the game . . .

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

That would be absolutely, totally, and in all other ways inconceivable.

DFiB's avatar

So... starters are gonna be???

Podz/Moody/Kuminga/Post/Horford? Throw a Buddy in there?

belilaugh's avatar

Podz/Richard/Moody/Kuminga/Post is my guess

EDIT: Nailed it

TwoRingTest's avatar

Podz still questionable on the latest injury report. Does someone know differently? Point guard position is going to be interesting.

Being's avatar

I doubt horford starts.

Podz/MM/JK/Gui/Post?

Or

Podz/Buddy/MM/JK/Post?

Either way, defense is gonna be trash. hopefully JK or MM or Buddy can catch a heater and give us some points.

Sabiscrashingout.'s avatar

I just realized I can actually watch the game tonight. Yeaaaah.

punk basketball's avatar

Im kinda excited for this random lineup game. Horford and the youths

Sleepy Freud's avatar

You know I read it in a magazine, ooh ho

fzwinter's avatar

Buddy and the Podz

AKChaz's avatar

great piece EA.....i especially enjoyed the Quinton Post telestration at the 1:55 mark where drew the green Q on Quinton!

Captain Jack's avatar

With Jimmy ruled out now I’m willing to bet 5000 monopoly dollars Draymond will either get a technical or just get straight up tossed out of the game before the 1st half is over.

ananthd's avatar

Draymond out. It will be the Gen Z kids with the sole millennial, Uncle Al.

WCoastD's avatar

Who do you think he’ll target to get into it with? Sabonis* (sp) on the bench? I think that’s my guess. Or maybe the French kid from Stanford - whenever he enters the game. Gotta be a European.

Captain Jack's avatar

He's going to freak out at a bad call and go a little above and beyond towards the refs to ensure an early shower

Steel Beams's avatar

Lol. Ill be a hater and say second half, just as the Kings get out to a lead that seems insurmountable

AttilaTheHun's avatar

Then it will be time for a Gui breakout game.

Abaddon's avatar

Warriors have submitted their injury report as well: https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2025-11-05_03PM.pdf

Butler, Draymond, Podz - questionable

Curry, Melton, Toohey - out

Run_TMC's avatar

Oh no! Toohey out again? What will we ever do?

btw, his nickname gotta be "Hawk" right? RIGHT...?

TwoRingTest's avatar

So, if Podz and Dray can't go, it's Pat Spencer and the young hooligans ( + Horford). Moody might have to play backup PG.

belilaugh's avatar

I think GP2 would probably be backup PG in that scenario

Ando's avatar

Does not have the handles to be dribbling with any kind of pressure.

belilaugh's avatar

Sure, but that's not the question, the question is who would be the backup PG in that scenario. Do you disagree it would be GP2? If so, who do you think it would be?

Ando's avatar

Prob Spencer and then...ugh, Kerr?

belilaugh's avatar

Spencer is the starting PG in that scenario so for backup I think GP2 is best suited given his previous PG experience, however I am in full agreement that no one in that scenario is particularly well suited for it.

Maybe Jackson Rowe will surprise us lol.

TwoRingTest's avatar

Or Richard, maybe. GP2 is not a guy I want running the offense, TBH. I think I'd rather have Richard.

belilaugh's avatar

Does Richard have any experience playing point guard? GP2 does.

TwoRingTest's avatar

If GP2 runs point, then if I'm the other team's HC, I just go full court press and trap him as much as possible. I wouldn't bet on GP2 dribbling through pressure (how often does he take more than three dribbles in a row?) or making the right read.

Richard, despite his lack of experience, seems much more suited to the role, IMHO.

belilaugh's avatar

Does that first paragraph not apply to Richard just as much if not more? I genuinely don't know if he's played PG, I know GP2 has at the NBA level though. Remember Moody and Kuminga's rookie Summer League? GP2 was the point guard that summer for them before Kerr came up with a clever, superior way to use him.

TwoRingTest's avatar

Well, we just need one of Dray, Podz or Butler to be able to play. It's not all that likely to happen.

Abaddon's avatar

Butler - Injury/Illness - Right Low Back; Strain

Curry - Injury/Illness - General; Illness

Draymond - Injury/Illness - Right Rib; Contusion

Podz - Injury/Illness - Left Wrist; Soreness

WCoastD's avatar

Draymond - severe no-curry-itis

Captain Jack's avatar

The Kings have ruled out Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine tonight against the Warriors. Both teams without big names. @anthonyVslater

Shout out to Fitz, who (in the middle of another super corny bit) dropped a sweet Diamond Center reference last night. Y’all remember those local ads with the Sam & Dave jingle?
