What I like about this year's team: LeBron can have a night like this but there's so much talent top to bottom they'll always be able to hang around

AD looked off LeBron on the break for no reason.

Davis bust out brakes end up in failure like 80% of the time.

I wish he would just give the ball to a ball handler.

All the complaints aside, that comeback was impressive.

Honestly didn’t watch any of the first half because season opener + ring ceremony + two month offseason was a recipe for a massive IDGAF game from LeBron. But thrilled to see they’re only down 2 after the horrendous first quarter. This team is going to be very very good this year once they have time to come together and gel.

Yup.

It’s ridiculous that such an obvious play had to be challenged for the ref to get it right.

Gotta say tho man, the Clippers are NOT a championship team. There's something wrong with their mental makeup. They're just way too entitled and lose focus way too easily.

He must have learned that move from Rondo.

It would be nice if he could spread them after handing the ball to a ball handler.

They have no grit and no leaders.

I don't even know how they came back so fast. Who's even playing well

Theres alot of locker room stuff with then and they dont really have leadership but id say theyre pretty clearly one of the "big 4" this year.

Its us/nets/clippers/bucks i feel, obv we have the advantage in multiple ways but i think lues gonna do well for them, at least in comparison to doc

Def some stuff they need to work out though, but the talent is crazy. Kawhis a bit quiet as a leader and george is a joke

Stopped watching with about 5 min left in the 1st, surprised we came back so quickly, but also not too shocked as well b/c it is the Clips lol

Hoping Marc is better than this, looked worse than Mcgee

Lakers are fine. I think the point of worry with this team (injuries aside) is if they're outside of a top 4 seed after 50 games.

This team is good but might have some 2017 Cavs energy going on with all the resting they'll do.

Lakers forgot how to play basketball in the first quarter. Clippers forgot in the second. Looking forward to a hopefully very competitive second half.

Gasol is a traffic cone on defense. I am officially concerned about him.

I don’t understand how Gasol managed to post positive defensive metrics last year. He looks completely unplayable on that end right now.
