Sunday 10/09 at 7:30pm Crypto.com Arena

Both teams are 2-0 so far. Some one will have to lose on Sunday .

Any matchups you are looking forward to?
I still feel a little sting from them beating LA for the play in.

Clippers we’re up by 12 halfway through the 3rd and then DLo and Edwards took over. Clippers took KAT out of the game but seemed I’ll equipped with their game plan for the two I mentioned above.


Thanks for starting the game thread. Day and/or time in the title is helpful. :)

Great defense and offense so far.

Every one seems to be on the same page. Kennard’s shots are so smooth as well as PG13.

What lineup will play in the second half ?

Wall showed he can still get to the rack at will. That was encouraging to see

Rib soreness but the coaching staff said it was just being cautious. Likely plays next game.

Went down to the wire , 3 string team had some blunders on offense but I am glad this game does not count .

Wall showed his skills there in that stretch with the bench. 20 points in 20 minutes.

Wolves have a lot of talent and will be a thorn in outside through out the year.

Looking forward to the game vs Denver this Weds.

I don’t think I have my rose colored glasses on. Leonard looks great and healthy. Still some rust and timing to work on but nothing alarming. I’m surprised by the number of comments around that I’ve seen that say he looks like he lost a step and slow. I don’t think so. It reminds me when he came back in Toronto and then the flip switched. I expect the same here too.

Wall is going to be fun to watch. Please let him stay healthy. The little bursts of speed and pressure is a welcomed sight.

Yeah I wouldnt be super worried about Kawhi even if coming off an injury. He looked pretty meh in the bubble preseason and 2020 - 2021 preseason. Fun Guy just doesnt take preseason that serious.

Its doesn't matter. Lue loves long spells of small ball. Diabate might be in the mix down the line as he's a big that can switch and guard positions 1-5

True but when Zu went down vs PHX we were doomed
