It’s pre-season and they’re playing without their second best player(Paul George).
Thanks for all the great memories, LeBron! The show must go on! #Heatnation

They should blow it up and concede the conference to the Lakers who have looked sooooo good because they've managed to beat a not-the-same-not-nearly-as-good-injured Warriors team twice in preseason. The Lakers should then concede the league title to the Nets because they lost to them twice in preseason.

do you think if the clippers put the league on TWITTER WARNING the way the lakers did, that they would be the dominant preseason team half the GB thought they were supposed to be?

that's how i feel, personally. and until then they're just gonna be in shambles all year long.

Obviously. I mean, if there's anything that will help them on the court it's spending more time on Twitter.

Totally irrelevant.

The Warriors had a a very lackluster pre-season right before they won 73 games. Players and coaches are just trying to work certain things in while they get the chance. A lot of high usage vets don't even come into camp fully in shape (Draymond is well known for this), as they don't want to wear themselves out by over training in the offseason. They'll just work themselves into shape as the season goes.

Adrian Wojnarowski: Not if people make calls on him. Not if an organization is doing their homework and knows all the things he brings with him.

I'm no expert but could it have something to do with the fact Kawhi has played like 30 minutes total and PG hasn't played at all?

Also.. It's preseason?

Rest of the NBA, take the Lakers' performances as a FAIR WARNING! (a la Van Halen, 1981).

It’s only preseason but damn Zubac has looked absolutely horrible in all facets of basketball, no exaggeration. They definitely need more bigs. Only playoff big I would trust is Trez.

Funny how everyone overlooks them losing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and he was arguably the most impactful rookie last season. They don’t have that 6’6 dynamic playmaker that can defend multiple positions anymore.
