If anyone had any doubts who is the main title contender, now it should be clear. Clippers look crazy good so far and they can only get better when Paul George comes back in a couple of weeks.

Big hit for Suns, Deandre Ayton tests positive for diuretic and gets 25 game ban. Too bad for Suns, they looked good in their first game vs Kings, this will mess them up for sure.

Clippers is a team that has many role players. And I can say that they clearly got the chance to get the championship this year. They have two superstars that can carry them for long stretches. And they have a powerful bench roster that can outmaneuver the enemy bench.

Regarding with Ayton, I don't think that this will affect the Suns, dude the guy does not get the minute he should have. He's a great center. Probably a problem with the management is the thing with this.

I wonder how many warriors bandwagon fans turning into Clippers. Cheesy

You can exclude me, I am a solid Warriors fan and I will still love that team as long as the splash brothers are still playing.
They are called splash brothers but now one brother is down so they are not as effective as before.

Clippers looks unbeatable against the Warriors but its just two games, people are so fast to conclude that Clippers will be the new champ but its still pretty to tell, once Thompson is back, it will be back to its original warriors form and even though they might not end up holding the top 3 but getting into the playoffs is already a big as the real battle is in playoffs.

Lol so you will be a fan as long as the splash brothers are still playing? What happens when they leave lol. Try being a knicks fan. They've sucked for 20 years straight and still show love for them. Just to let you know thompson will probably be out the whole season. That is a tough injury for someone to come back from....either way glad to see a fan so long as 2 individuals are still on the team Tongue

I know PG was out of the game but I don't know who is Chris Smoove? lol.

By the way, speaking of how they dominate the Warriors, people are now expecting that they will become the team that is hard to beat and probably the team with a chance to win the championship this season, that would be Leonard back to back championship on different teams, and I don't know if there's anyone who already did that in the past,.

It is too early to tell. Remember, this is the most competitive NBA season for more than a decade. The teams are well balanced that there are really no heavy favorites to win the championship. Those who are easily concluding that this is Clipper's year is not really considering how heavy the competition in the West is.

That's the true loyal warriors fan. Can I know how long will Klay Thompson is out? It's very unlikely for him to play for this 2019-20 season as I've read in a article that Steve Kerr said it's really hopeless for Klay as he will have a undergoing surgery in July 2020.

KT will not be playing this season. It is time for Curry to prove his true worth or the warriors will tank this year.

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/27922268/suns-deandre-ayton-tests-positive-diuretic-gets-25-game-ban

Why does this player do drugs in this early part of the season? Does he average 30+ minutes per game to use drugs? I don't think this player have a good future in the league.

As far as I know, diuretic is used to hide or mask other banned substance. So probably Ayton is doing this for a long time and it just so happen that he was caught this time.

I can't remember when was the last time for a NBA player to be banned this long because of violating their anti-doping policy. And yes I agree why he is taking drugs when he know that NBA is very strict with their drug policy. Not good for his image here.

I think its not the illegal drugs that people will perceived, he might be taking an enhancement drug to improve his stamina in the game.
NBA is in entertainment business, this guy's reputation is not ruined if he can still play and help a team to win.
Kobe, Derrick Rose both have an allegation on raping someone.

But what the people will look is on how they play in the court and NBA has a media to help the popular players boost their reputation.

I can't believe I lost my parlay with two teams losing by one point each but at least I got my Suns ML and OKC to cover the +9.5 single bets. The only game I like tonight is the Rockets at the ML. I have parlayed this game with a few NHL games for some value.

I like detroit tonight by 1.5 at home. Also I'm gonna ride gs at their home opener. Either way I'm taking the over in all 3 of these games. NBA doesnt do defense anymore. My prediction is there is a record amount of points scored in the nba this year. I wish there was a prop bet for that, I would take it all day long

Well dam I took a beating. Detroit looked lifeless, gs either looked like they are gonna struggle this year or the clippers are just the team to beat, I think the warriors are gonna struggle. And missed 2 out of the 3 overs. Either way 220+ points being scored in every game is crazy. Defense dont matter anymore eh.

Leonard back to back championship on different teams, and I don't know if there's anyone who already did that in the past,.

Steve Kerr did. Though that wasn't just a back to back champ, since after he won 3peat in Chicago along side Jordan and co. And after that , he also became a champ on the next year in San Antonio Spurs. So, that's four in a row. That's the closest I could think If you're not too specific with just "back to back" champ excluding the other 2 achievements Steve Kerr did in Chicago.

GSW losing to the Clippers with a big lead.

Hmmm this is something new. But I watched it carefully as I know how their offense and defense works.
Their gameplay is a whack.
It is like the other player doesn't knew what the next step will be.
Screens are happening but help doesn't come.
I remember Curry always switching once a mismatch is on going. He is looking at his back trying to tell the other player to switch. I didn't see that.
The whole game is all about the offense. But just like other teams, let us give this Warriors a chance. They still might be in chaos for a lot of changes in their roster.

They have a good system and as long as the players are doing their respective role, we will eventually see the Warriors improve.
Curry scored 23 points but his strength which is the 3 point shooting was missing here because he only shot 2-11 which makes him the worst 3 point shooter in the team.

I am an NBA fan and I can see that there are more and more Clippers fanatics because they're favorites to win the championships this year. They have an experienced Kawhi Leonard and PG. Some can imagine how good the Clippers will become once PG returns in the normal roster.

The Warriors lost too many capable players when they lost that finals. It should have been an easy blowout if not for KD and Klay injuries. I can understand KD felt he is not fully credited with his 2 champioship rings as he joined a super team. But if ever he crowns again this season, I doubt he will feel comfortable when it was Kyrie carrying the team into the playoffs. KD is possible to return in the playoffs if they can make it.

These kind of things are not always intentional, sometimes players just use something that contains forbidden substance without even knowing. But even if he didn't know that he is taking something illegal,t hat doesn't absolve him from responsibility, he has to be more careful in the future.

Another good game tonight, Lakers vs Jazz. This will be a good test for Jazz, to see whether they are team that can go deep into playoff, for that they will need Conley playing much better than in the 1st game. I will root for Jazz, but my money will be on the Lakers Grin

Clippers did very well, while those contenders that they potentially have are all started with a loss, Lakers, Houston and Warriors are all start with a losing stat, while Clippers with Kawhai really play an impressive stats.

You said it right, Kawhai shows he's hunger for the title, and the chance to have the season MVP if he will continue to play healthy and have the same
momentum.

Clippers blowned out warriors with a winning score of 141-121. It was D'Angelo Russle debut game that he made 20 points and 8 assists, not bad looking at all.

Warriors is literally lacking on defensive that gives clippers easy points, size matter at all and where talking Kawhi Leonard whos needs to guard each entire players in the court. Clippere dominated it again without PG and Chris Smoove. Roll Eyes

Check his stats here https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/a/aytonde01.html.
I don't usually watch when the suns are playing because they are not a contender, but this man has a good stats based on the what I share above.

He averages double2 last season in rebounds and points, so definitely he is very important to the team and that 25 game suspension is such a big loss for the Suns who are trying to improve their record this season.
