Yeah pretty sure Lebron will step aside ... i mean he has to, right? He should focus on defense or hustle plays or whatever and hand over the offense to AR and Luka.

This is Lebron's last season in a Laker jersey, no matter what. Either he'll step aside or be moved along.

Already had two games basically end at the buzzer today. Chance for a third with Memphis Phoenix here within a point late

That was an ugly last 3 minutes from Devin Booker.

Crazy how little people wanna play defence these days. Scared of the foul.

Interesting tactic by the NBA, sure offence is exciting but if there is no resistance what’s the point.

2 stepback threes in a matter of seconds for Devin Booker when all he had to do was get into the mid range area. He's a great shooter from most areas but I do not understand the shot selection there smh

Seriously, how are they going to keep him out of the starting lineup? He's ready now for KCP's minutes. They really miss Zach Edey though.

Oh, wow! What an ending!

Confession time, I literally turned off two one-possession crunch-time games tonight because the fouling, reviews, and time outs were so excessive.

But not this one! That was an exciting finish! No fouling, no reviews, and only a single, well-placed time out! Wow! Real basketball! What a concept!

4/5 correct picks tonight.

24-15 season picks so far.

24 right, 15 wrong.

I did the count myself, the guy who said I had better results miscalculated it :D

The hate in unreal. Even Richard Jefferson during the broadcast was taking subtle shots at AR. It’s all good, he’ll just continue to let his game do the talking.

Thanks but I updated the post and did the calculations myself. 24-15 so far (24 correct picks, 15 wrong). We'll see how it will ends at the end of the season.

Clippers road/home splits:

On the road: 93.5ppg, 113.5oppg (-20)
At home: 121.5ppg, 104.5 oppg (+17)

Something to monitor with arguably the oldest team in NBA history.
