    and Media already given him MVP over Harden. Davis ain't never did no nothing to help his team win.

    Harden has taken his team to 2 WCF and almost won against one of the best team in the history of the NBA except for cheating ref

    AD can't even get his team into the playoff

    Clippers seem to be missing a big man. What happens if one of Zubov, Patterson, or Harrell gets hurt? Who am I missing? Besides that, they look like a machine. Once George gets back, no one needs to play more than 28 minutes a game. No one needs to overexert themselves on offense or defense either. Ridiculous.

    Lakers... The first impression looks bad. I don't see a good defensive team out there. Point guards are going to torch them. Three-point shooting teams will torch them. They gotta find a way to make Kuzma a significant piece of the offense once he gets back. I don't think Lebron is going to allow it. Besides the couple of incredible defensive plays he made against multiple Clippers, he looked bad. Like his body couldn't do what his mind wanted it to anymore.

    Low hanging fruits.

    Amazing start to the season though........I feel the Raps and Pels standoff might have been a tad more dramatic.

    Raps won with more experience.

    I do wonder how much “rest” Leonard will require during the season.

    You forgot about JaMaychal Green, which i'm actually shocked to see come off the bench, i thought he was going to start for them.

    The Raptors look much less scary without Kawhi and without him and Green their depth is almost non-existant, but man Siakam and VanVleet can ball. I'm actually surprised how small Siakam plays. So many missed lay-ups and he tries to go up way too fast at times to the point of not getting any lift. He needs to work on that. I'm not sure about Lowry and FVV starting together either, but might work. I think many people will give the Raptors their due this year when they see how they manage to get wins.

    Clippers looked damn impressive, Zubac and Shamet still producing alongside the duo Lou-Trez with Beverley as the intimidator, but now they have Harkless to give them energy as well and can go to Kawhi for a bucket. It's similar to the Raptors but with even more talent and depth. That bench is hella scary. Again not sure about a starting line-up here with Patterson at the 4. Maybe Doc did it for matching up with AD since he has longer arms than JaMychal and Harkless is too hyped, reaches in way too much and works better off the bench.

    Getting old is getting old. Lebron this year or next/ Tom Brady this year or next. It is what it is.

    Didn't Lebron get voted number one player on ESPN? yeah sure

    Everyone is burying Lebron and coronating Kawhi this morning.










    Pretty rough night for the former king.

    Man, this whole thread is about how good the Clippers looked. What about Pascal Siakam going for 34 points, 18 boards and 5 assists?
