Vogel gonna run LBJ and AD into the ground before his ass gets canned.
You just hate to see it happen...

Yes you do.west coast advantage...
I keep saying it...
Yes you do.
Coasting to wins over other top teams like last night? Yeah probablyI honestly see this team coasting until the playoffs...
Props to the clips though, they deserved it. Lebron had a subpar game...and I think he overdeferred to AD at times

I want the Cavs to win but if they lose thats fine too.Cavs at Magic
Bulls at Hornets
Pistons at Pacers
Celtics at 76ers
Grizz at Heat
Twolves at Nets
Wiz at Mavs
Knicks at Spurs
Thunder at Jazz
Nuggets at Blazers
Kings at Suns
Baby steps....I'm not calm.
Clippers are winning the title once they get that real Center
Clippers have a very deep, athletic rotation. Being able to bring guys like Harrell and Williams off the bench is amazing. These are guys that know their roles and have specific NBA skill sets that just play so well in today's game.Big Mama Mecca's Hot Takes
1. Kawhi is a Monster
2. Davis is a MONSTER
3. Danny Green still has plenty left in the tank
4. The Lakers supporting cast is trash, outside of Green, Kuz, Rondo
5. The Clippers bench is fucking ferocious.
6. We need a real Center
7. LeBron and AD will be broken by January if they have to play that many minutes to win.

Baby steps....
I was bummed out that we didn't get Morris.
But, Harkless stepped up.
Makes me happy to know that our teams helped each other get a much needed piece.
Still.....
Gotta get that big.
McGee and Howard are only scoring threats on love and putbacks.
So, we can get away with Trezl and Jamychal...who both balled out.
Can't do that against Embiid, Jokic, Kanter etc.
Yep.Yeah, he tried to force it in to AD too much. He turned the ball over about 4 times in the 4th and I think 3 were trying to force it to AD.
Lakers shot 40% from 3--- hit 13 three's. No Paul George. Danny Green put up 28 on 10/14 shooting.
If you would have told me all that would happen pre-game I would have thought a very solid Lakers win.
Clippers are a gritty, well put together team.
I think it would be hard for anyone to dispute that Kawhi is the best player in the world at this point.
Rondo and Kuzma will be coming back of course- so you wont see some of these bench guys get such significant minnutes- but I would not want to have to rely on KCP (a poor man's JR Smith) off the bench. Dwight Howard has not heart (and forget genitalia). McGee and Howard basically do the same thing. Avery Bradley is cooked.
Green looked great- clutch and is a hugely needed 3 point threat.
I would put Caruso on the court. I know they have to give Bradley a chance- but at some point it would not surprise me if Caruso got a decent amount of the minutes that were give to Cook and Bradley.
absolutely cannot have LeBron playing 36 a night. It was opening night- i get it- I dont expect that trend to continue- but if it does it will be a mistake.
Last night's crowd was 70/30 at the start and that might be generous.
It's a Lakers town, always will be.
But, the Clippers are better and have been for the last 6 years.
I'm ok with that.
I'm still nervous about Zubac.Clippers have a very deep, athletic rotation. Being able to bring guys like Harrell and Williams off the bench is amazing. These are guys that know their roles and have specific NBA skill sets that just play so well in today's game.
Beverely did not do anything on offense but is still a terror defensively.
When PG comes back this team is going to be ridiculous. Its just built so well for today's game. 1-8 the roster is just so impressive.
