How excited are you guys? Although I'm not sure PG will be playing the pre-season

Dude I'm stoked. I'm a little scared though. LAC v. LAK = Ash v. Gary in Pokemon. Even if we beat Gary in the first match, you know he's gonna get stronger and add a new pokemon (drop D12, add Noah).

I hope the Lakers don't win though lol... at all... ever against us.

I think AD could easily have been the NBA MVP multiple times if he didn't have to play for Gentry. Gentry wasted his defensive talents with the Gentry D optional system. AD is a great player that is going to take much workload off of LeBron. While people are talking about AD and LeBron, they don't seem to be focused on the impacts Vogel will have on that team defensively. I think the Lakers will win a lot of games and maybe even beat us a time or two.

However, winning in the regular season is totally different than the post season. The Clippers are not built for the regular season, they are built to advance in the playoffs. The Clippers as built are probably closer to the Pistons teams of the early 2000s, but with more star power and a deeper bench. It is going to be hard for any team to beat them 4 times over 7 games unless someone gets injured.

I think Utah and Denver are the teams we most need to worry about come playoff time. Both of those teams are going to be formidable opponents on both ends of the floor.

I think I read that PG isn’t playing until November

And Kawhi won't play in the preseason. A bit of a bummer

If it's any consolation, I remember last year being like NFL preseason, with the Agua Calientes getting the majority of the minutes. The second halves were pretty unwatchable, iirc.

Fortunately, KL and PG will be able to do a lot in practice, so it's not like they're out-out. Just out.

I live in Los Angeles and I still have not seen anyone wear a Kawhi or a PG jersey. And I've seen people wearing Clipper shirts. Just not the jerseys of our new stars. But to be fair I have not seen them sold at any apparel store.

Ok so I was totally about to get a PG jersey, BUT.. a few things came to mind:

1) Still a chance the FO can introduce new jerseys right when the season starts. (They're soooo sneaky you never know what they're gonna do).

2) Earned Edition: Gonna drop sometime around fall this year I believe, totally wanna see that..

In case the jersey stays the same when the season starts, I'm gonna buy a Blue Clippers PG jersey asap. My buddy who I ball against wears a Lebron Laker jersey, so gotta do my part in this stoking this rivalry.
