I’m shocked Lue is going with RoCo. Happy of course but was sure he’d go with his favorite.

Bones is good to go too.

No restrictions for Leonard or PG.

Let’s start off right.

I am watching on the Balleys app right now .

They are talking about the tournament and winning the cup.

It starts early November and ends in December.

westbrook's comfort and intentions directing the ball on this team seem far, far better than when we last saw him.

I know it's early but from the preseason to now, the defense is REALLY engaged and smothering

Loving the fast pace style so far, exactly what this team needs. PG picking up where he left off with those dumb TOs.

I am SO rooting for Brodie. There are so many guys who take on all the responsibility because nobody else will. Then THEY get the blame because everybody else was so lame.

Kawhi and PG wanted Westbrook BAD.

Great ball movement and defense.

Granted Blazers are turning it over.

Return to Los Angeles Clippers
