Portland's playing well but, they need to watch out for the refs. Lebron's refs are coming soon.

If Lakers can’t dominate the minutes Melo, Herzona and Whiteside share the court then they are done.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

How do the Clippers not win the West?

Rockets might be their biggest competition

Even video replays are completely bogus. That was a clean block

Anthony Davis is not a top 5 player. I don't even think he's to 10. So overrated.

Yeah Cleveland Lebron can do it. This Steve Nash wannabe Lebron isn’t going to cut it against the clippers

Danny Green sucking since the GSW series. He offers them nothing so far. Can't hit 3s, can't hit floaters.

Commentator: "who else has 3 7-footers like nurkic/whiteside/Gabriel to go up against the lakers?"

Answer: Raps with Gasol/Ibaka/Boucher.

Melo looking like that Denver Melo of old. Good to finally see him not being a cancer for a team for once

Melo is a weak defender but he's really trying out there. Effort is what keeps you on the floor.

He definitely lost his quickness with his first step. All other aspects of his game is still elite but the lack of a consistent first step is what makes Lebron more guardable than his prime.
