My first Game of the Season and the Clippers getting worked by the Deandre-less Suns...lol

Better have a big 2nd half.

Love Oubre.
Could be worse......much, much, much, much, much worse.

Clippers give up 122 to the Warriors and 130 to the Suns. Just the modern NBA or is their defense not very good?

So, the Clippers are not going 74-8 after all.

You would have thought that was a foregone conclusion

The National Media went overboard for their 2-0 start to an 82 game season

Good to see the Suns make them work. Teams will be extra motivated to play them. Let's see how the Clippers handle it.

Yeah, it's hard to learn much from these early games. Fun to joke about them, though. Clippers have terrible defense. Kawhi will have to play 40 min per night for them to get the no. 1 seed. Suns the new dynasty. Suns over Hawks in this Finals.

Hawks 2-0

Trae Young dropped 38 and 39. Awesome. I love this team.

Trae Young is ridiculous

I really have no idea who will have the better career between him and Luka

I am tempted to pick Trae here.

That said, I still maintain Luka deserves ROY.

Well you swap out a good defender in Chris Paul for an average one in RW, that's part of it.

I know Harden didn’t like CP3, but he brought toughness and and a nasty edge.

CP3 and PJ Tucker were the reasons Houston’s defense was good the last 2 years.

CP not close to the player he once was, but Houston is going to miss him.

Where were you when Tacko Fall made his first NBA bucket?

(standing dunk, of course)


Too bad I don’t think he will get too many more.

Yea... I'm with you... not this season, certainly... he's only up with the big team cause the C's have two centers on the injury report.

It was amusing to watch the Knicks fans heckle their own team, do the Tacko chant, and then cheer for Tacko when he finally entered the game though. :D

Honestly, that could be a motivator for the team.

I don’t think Taco is ever going to a successful player in the modern game. Just not a place for his skill set.

But, as an obvious fan favorite who everybody wants to see there are a lot worse ways to use that 12th active roster spot. Suit him up and let him be the human victory cigar that the home fans can cheer for.
