I seriously doubt PG gets thru the season healthy and the Clips are not winning a title with just Kawhi and a supporting cast.


But isn't that what we did last year?


Who on the Clips, besides PG, matches up to Kyle and Pascal? It was hardly a supporting cast. Kyle still not getting any respect.

I bet Klay returns after the all star break. Kerr backtracked on his comments that he will be out for the season.

KLay should be able to recover in 8 months which would be Feb. Even without him I feel like GS is getting slept on.

Dawg, I love Kyle but he isn't a superstar. He's a very good player. Was Pascal a proven superstar last season? No, he was just breaking out. I still think my comment has validity. Our supporting cast was obviously better than the Clips current cast.

I will be very happy with anyone other than the two LA teams winning the championship. You can see that the media in the US is very giddy and it's going to get very annoying watching their broadcasts.

I wouldn't mind the Rockets winning it all this year. I'm not a fan of Westbrook, but he was very loyal to the Thunder all those years, and he deserves to win it. I also think Houston got robbed in the 2017-18, even with missing 27 straight threes... Should have won the championship.

Same here and it might be a long shot but I would be ecstatic if Denver wins it all this year.

Does Lebron look significantly less explosive to anyone else?

Looks like he lost some of his first step, couldn’t blow by Patterson at times.

I mean he’s probably better than last night. “Washed” Lebron is probably still a top 10 player

Danny Green is the GOAT, Masai should have tried to retain. How much did he get in FA?

2 yr $30 million. and it would have cost us way more than the $15 /year hold because he would have pushed us into the luxury tax and we would have had an additional repeater penalty.

Damn. He was underrated here, at least by the media. Great player and human.

He'll be what, 35? Hardly news that he looks less explosive. He's still a top 10 player in the league. And in the playoffs he's probably top 5.

If Jamal Murray wins the chip early he may want to come home when his next free agency comes up.

Father Time is yet to be beaten. People thought Nash and Duncan will be effective into their 40s. Didn't happen.
