Game Thread: Opening Night - Los Angeles Clippers at Los Angeles Lakers | 10:30pm TNT

[bksballer89]

All the hype over this team was because of their new coach. Griffin and Jordan are still overrated players who can only dunk. None of them have a post game and none of them can hit a free throw. Both are about average on D.

It doesn't bother me that Jordan doesn't have a post game but the fact that Blake never improves over the summer when he is supposedly a "superstar" is what would really bother me as a Clippers fan.

Looks like BK was wrong about the 0-3 prediction.

Lakers fans if you know any Clippers fan make sure you talk that smack all night and day tmr

Them boys overrated man. Blake Griffin and Deandre jordans game hasn't changed one bit. If it stays that way, they aren't winning a title. They can be proud of their little selfies covering up the banners though...

Are you telling me no team will go 82-0?

I will say it - I know there was a football team one year that went 14-0 and then lost the Superbowl, but no team is ever going to go 82-0 in the regular season. It's like the probability for a thief. Every time he burglarizes a house the chances goes up he will get caught which eventually does happen. Mathematically it looks possible, but it is isn't.

This night of games is all we need to see. Lakers and Heat in the NBA Finals. Book it!

Yeah I didn't know the Clippers would laid an egg like this.....I should've known better. At the end of the day they are the Clippers. I still think they lose to GSW at least. I think SAS as well but that game should be competitive if they play like this

 

[True Lakers Fan]

To be fair though I thought those two flagarants on the Clippers was a little overboard.

Isn't Doc supposed to be a defensive minded coach? This must really bug him

Lol, it was a sarcastic question. Btw, the Cheatriots went 16-0.

One thing to keep in mind - if D'antoni implements his original system in true form - you won't see many fouls coming from the Lakers. D'antoni doesn't like fouling

I know, but believe it or not I argued a group of dumbasses on ESPN over that - they were adamantly insisting that it was mathematically possible. . God they were stupid

 

[shitsho]

Lakers 5-0 without Kobe on opening night!

Clips look like they are not listening to Doc. I wonder if this loss gets their attention. They should be embarrassed.

 

[LAKERSUSCBAM]

I predicted the Clippers by 15 but I thought it was a Clippers home game. Once I figured out it was a Lakers home game, I knew it would be a good one

what a bunch of bullshit....the Clips are predicted to win the Pacific and some pundits even have him coming out of the WC. Lakers are pegged as a 12th place finish....and you sit there to use the excuse that Clips were playing at home to predict they'd win by 15 pts??

What's up Doc!
