Another entertaining match today (Wolves 127 - Nets 126). A typical performance by Irving carrying his team with a 50 point performance against KAT and Wiggins team but that last shot that he took though  Grin




By the way, Danny Green surpassed Jabbar's record yesterday for most points made by a Laker in a NBA debut (Green - 28, Jabbar - 27).

No matter how many how many points a player puts up, if it ends up lossing, then it doesn't matter anymore. Like Irving putting up 50points in his debut with the nets means how deadly of a caliber player he is. If only Durant was healthy, they could've won the game though.
I think KD won't have a chance to play this season. he's still in the recovery stage, right? so maybe he will come back next season.
Irving has a good game for Nets. His debut by breaking records is a good start for him and teams

If those free throws of Allen got in, I guess there will be no OT. And if that last shot of Wiggins became a buzzer-beater, Nets were done early.

The last seconds of Kyrie is entertaining, well this one should be of the great match so far.

Getting the W is still the most important thing of course but let's not ignore those great individual performances.

There was a lot of 3's in that game and KAT also made a lot of them which is an improvement for him. If he can keep making those shots consistently, Wolves is likely to make the playoff.

Seems that the odds of Clippers to win the League are higher after watching the game against Lakers last night! And Leonard Khawi have a great performance with 30 points, last year we see that he's carrying Toronto Raptors and now he's helping Clippers and do a great job.
People are convince that Leonard alone can bring another championship to this team but as the odds decreases I would not be taking them and instead I will just wait until the playoffs will start. People seem to forget the Blazers here, they are still in my radar and I know this team will perform well this time as they need to compete since they've been eliminated badly every playoffs.

Hey, I like the Blazers chances as well because of their last performance last year.

As for the Clippers win, to really say that the match against the Lakers team in a good yard stick, lest we forget that Kuzma is already injured. So it will be an even playing field if Kuzma and George both play to really see how everything will end.
If this two will see each other again in the playoffs and both star players are there to play with their respective teams, the chances to see more entertaining and exciting game is really expected. Kuzma and George will add more spice from the game play, for sure it's an additional firepower and enjoyable gameplay that being designed for both of them.

We can also consider that it's another strategy from the coaching staff where the opening game can be a good time to check the combinations and how the players will blend together.

No , I dont think It goes that way. That's the regular season. That kind of experimentation strategy should've done in the pre-season.
I can say there's a lapses from the coaching staff as well for benching out McGee for the whole 2nd half. Howard, somehow didn't make an impact.

This has been talked about.  Howard is done as anything more than a role player.  Can give you 10 minutes on the floor getting some keyboards and blocking the paint.  But he jams up offenses.  Back to the bucket paint player doesnt really work for a team with lebron and ad on it.  He will play mop up minutes at best.

Watched the whole knicks game.  RJ Barrett is the real deal.  Kid can ball and already looks comfortable at nba speed.  Cant wait to see how he progresses this year.  I hope he can pull the knicks out of the 2 decade hole

The team everyone is sleeping on is the nuggets, they shouldnt be a dark horse they are legit
  Jokic has a chance to be a top 3 player in the league and jamal Murray is filthy.  Add in gary Harris and a nice supporting cast and you have a sick team.  I'm laying choice for nba champs with the nuggets.  Dont be surprised if they end up #2 seed again and possibly #1 seed out of the west.

The game was alright for both sides, there is no need to overreact on literally game one of the season. Lakers looked like they could actually be good if they could just implement AD into center position more often, he doesn't have to start there but when someone smaller is at Center on the other team he could just switch there. On offense they lacked a cohesion because they haven't been playing together for too long so it will take some time to build that chemistry but over time I am sure that will happen as well. Clippers on the other hand looked really scary, this team was the team that came back from 31 point difference and beat GSW last year and they have added Kawhi on top of that (plus PG but he is injured), they looked like they can defend anyone at any position the whole game, they will be like 2004 pistons but with faster offense.

Clippers also added a lot of players this season, the thing is that they are much a better team today because everyone knows their role. As compare to Lakers wherein James and AD are the main options and when they are check, nothing falls except for Green. And with this Clippers win against the Lakers, they have send a message, and they have raised the bar so high with that win. And Lebron started to look old,  Grin. Clippers improved so much in their defense, and there are even news that Rivers owes the team some money for not allowing Davis to have an alley oop dunk or something.

Very interesting game for the Mavericks vs Wizard today, now we will see if the Ponzi and Doncic can bring the intensity in the regular season.
They are heavily favored against the Wizards at -8.5 but I am not so confident betting at that line for this young team, anyway, I will just enjoy this game watching with a very minimal bet, hopefully Dallas will show something here that the fans will love.

Yeah, it's somehow an interesting match to talk about but overreacting about it is out of discussion. Although, most NBA fans that are with the lost team will do that. There's more game to come for Lakers and I just hope that it won't result as the same as the last season where they've struggled that much. I would agree about the experimenting period of what is good and not working for the team. They'll have another match again at the Staples center with Utah.

I second that especially to think that Kawhi and the Clippers have defeated Lakers even without Paul George in the rotation, it only says that Kawhi can still carry the team as what he did with Toronto. With Paul George in the roster their game could be on another level.

I see the other way around. If Paul George were there, the rotation will be changed and there will be times that Paul George will do the ISO and main plays. Well, just a first game though and want to see how PG and Kawhi will blend on the court. They know each other so I think that won't be a problem.

Kudos to Lou Williams too for that win. The current best 6th man for me in the league but playing like a part of the starting lineup.

It's funny to think that the Lakers is leading in the Poll by 1 point that they will win the Championship this season, this fanboys needs to get realistic that Clippers are a much more better team compared to what the Lakers currently have.

Generally, the poll was all about the whole season and not just between the LAC and LAL. Clippers might be more of a good team compared to Lakers but they will have to faced other teams as well first before taking that Larry O' Brien trophy. Let's not conclude everything just because of one game.

In the end, there's even a possibility that none of these LA's teams will take the championship this season. Smiley

Kawhi did that too. But it looks like everyone has forgotten it already.
They choose to ignore it. Some people still doubting Kahwi's achievement with the Raptors last season and still deny how great the guy is in scoring, defense, and leadership because of the Warriors injury woes. Just let them be.



We can also consider that it's another strategy from the coaching staff where the opening game can be a good time to check the combinations and how the players will blend together.

Lebron struggling and Lakers losing is a strategy to figure out what works and what doesn't? I don't think that is the case.
