Was just gonna say, they better not ruin Alexander-Walker by giving him the green light and letting him build up a bunch a bad habits.

Toronto's gameplan: fake as many fouls on both ends as frequently as possible.

I think they're going to lean on NAW to be the scorer in the second group, especially with Zion out (less mix and match with Ingram, Holiday)

Siakam always plays with his shirttail out.

I'm fine with it, why not, most of those shots are open or at the end of the shot clock. Cool they're letting him play point guard.

With Paul George out, the Clippers' starting lineup is a GD joke. LOL.

I still think the "no spacing frontcourt" that the Lakers are forced to roll with since Anthony Davis won't play the 5 is a mistake.

Against some teams, maybe not against this munchkin squad.

Davis needs to up his skill level for this Lakers team to reach its full potential.

A backdown drive or faceup drive is all he has in the halfcourt? Weak.

Patrick Patterson still in the league and starting on opening night is wild.

I still don't understand why people were questioning the Clippers perimeter defense.

Leonard, George, Beverely, Harkless, Green. They have waves of guys that can defend Gs and Fs of every size.

I thought Troy Daniels was sneaky underrated with the Suns, but is he really about to be a key guy for the Lakers? That seems a little much.

Kawhi is ridiculous. As is that teams depth. Particularly stands out in contrast to the Lakers. Lakers are going to free fall in the standings if LeBron or AD miss any long stretch of games.

The Clippers desperately need to get Mfiondu Kabengele developed. He's the defensive big that would complete them.

This clips vs lakers game is pretty telling that the sixers wont be the only defensive juggernaut.
