Game Thread: Opening Night

[CitySushi]

Yeah, I think the Clips have the best bench in the league. That's going to allow Kawhi and PG to take about 20 games off each.

I don't think the Lakers can allow more than 10-12 for Lebron and AD.

I'm not sure your Warriors can have Steph and Draymond miss more than a couple.

Yeah, if Steph or Draymond miss a game, I'm already marking it as an L, no matter who they're playing. The Warriors team defense this year is going to be atrocious. There's a real significant drop off in defensive quality from Shaun Livingston, Klay Thompson, KD and Andre Iguodala to D'Lo, Poole, Robinson III and Alec Burks. The only hope is that Looney and WCS can man the middle enough to take some heat off the perimeter guys, but damn it's not gonna be pretty.

Warriors are going to just have to out gun teams. Most underrated part about their departures wasn't the outgoing talent or incoming talent, it's strengths and deficiencies. Jordan Poole was the guy we could have used last year or in previous years. This year, his offense doesn't help with the depleted defense. Same with Burks, or Robinson and D'Lo.

He's too old. He can't even really get buckets any more. His last year he was totally washed. He'll have one game where he'll get hot but the rest of time, he looks like the AARP member he is.

I agree.....we'd have to cut somebody to sign him....

They're crushing you like Bosa crushed Baker

Blazers in a nice big divisional game tonight to open the season. Nuggets should be good, but Portland may have made some decent off season changes.

Any protestors at the games?

You can tell it's opening night in Philly... both the '6ers and Boston are out-of-sync, a lot of ugly basketball.
