Game 1 is tomorrow! Who's going? I'll be in section M6, ready to kick off the season at our brand-new home!

Projected Starting Line Up:



I'm curious to see who the other five rotational players will be. My guesses are: Dunn, KPJ, Batum, Kai and Amir.

What are you most excited to see, and what are your predictions for the game?

If we play with the same defense we've shown in the pre-season, I think we can open our new arena with a close win.

I really hope they can manufacture enough points to stay in the game- Powell, KPJ, and others will have to step up.

I wanted to attend opening night- I live only 2 miles away from the arena, but I have to get up too early during weekdays. I wish they opened on the weekend as I really wanted to go to the first regular season game at Intuit. We're going to go on 11/2 vs OKC instead- which is a Saturday. Tough opening schedule for the Clippers.

Really was hoping Norm would make a run for 6MoY, but going to expect a nice 28 point night for him tomorrow.

Homer aside, do think Clips take this tomorrow.

I'll be in the building tomorrow. Section 24. Should be a glorious!



-Side note: Anybody watching this Lakers/Wolves game? Its only game 1, but this Minnesota squad is not like last years team. Could be beneficial to the Clipps

Great looking game thread! Couldna done better meself.

Keep on keepin' on, Clipp!

I guess KPJ is not going to be disciplined by the league? No mention of any suspension

Unless Harden plays at a MVP level this year, gonna be a lonnnnnnng season like the ones in the 90s.

A 210 lbs power forward, what an age we live in.

Thanks esqtvd! Got antsy and didn't see one yet, so just followed last season's template from you

Yeah, there are fewer and fewer traditional PFs now. Yesterday Josh Hart (6'4" - 215) and Jayson Tatum (6'8" - 210) were listed as PFs. We'll see how long DJ can last as a PF this season. He's so frail but is very lengthy and has incredible hops. Liking what I've seen from him in pre-season.

His name is not on ESPN's injury report so I hope he's good to go. He'll be our x-factor this season.

a lot of it obviously depends on how frequently Kawhi is available.

Also, some guys need to really step up their games- Zubac, Powell, Mann, KPJ

Bizarre indeed. I like this comment on Law Murray's post. A very sharp guess--Commissioner Nosferatu is a reed in the wind. PR is Job One.

Got a good feeling about this one.
Go Clippers!!

Tyus Jones and Monte Morris, PHX got some nice additions at PG.

this is gonna get ugly fast, we cant make a bucket. too much harden. no creation, Zubac playing like ****.

Yikes that's some bad offense

Showed some good energy on defense early, but the struggle on offense quickly revealed itself. Harden and KPJ given us nothing so far, Zu has been a disaster.

I see Zu in mid-season form with the all TOs...Not sure a new building can be your best new asset on the court. Im afraid this gonna be a long year

Harden has been pretty bad.

The offensive rebounds are keeping them in the game, which is a good sign, hustle and activity is something you can always do, but you can't always make shots as much as you try. So at least that's good.

Defensive intensity has been good, and could have cut it down to 5 if Batum made that open one.

Harden said he's the system, so that's the life with the system, it's always going to be too much Harden
