The Clippers will ‘host’ the Kings in Hawaii, marking the second straight season that features the NBA team in Honolulu, after Doc Rivers’ team spent last season’s training camp on the island, staging two preseason games against the Toronto Raptors at the Stan Sheriff Center, on the campus of the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

I love Shai.

Anyways, I don't see a reason why Doc had to insert his starting 5 in the 4th to close the game. It's pre-season, play your whoel bench and see what you got.

Clippers have tons of good role players on the squad, so alot of players are going to be pissed because of lack of playing time. Jerome was really pissed on the bench tonight.

Get Blatt. He will be a good coach for the young guys.

I think his ego kicked in and he didn't want to risk the embarrassment of losing to an Australian team.

I did not watch most of the game but what I saw, or better to say what was I not able to see ,from highlights, is that clap defense that they were announcing. What I saw is that one unorthodox undersized and quick guard can do almost what he pleases to do to them.

Thanks MK! You rock!
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D

Thanks for all the links and the videos. Team looks interesting and they are undefeated so far!
