Westbrook pass very nice .

[TheGreenArrow]

Westbrook looks Done!!!!

[Ballerhogger]

Duck

[levon]

the officiating has been excellent as usual

[KingDavid]

Bron aint Bron anymore.

Can just tell.

.... Don't fall for it.

[levon]

that is very clearly a defensive foul or no call. Lee isn't squared up. that's a play where if Russ was Trae he'd fly out of bounds and get two free throws

[chitownsports4ever]

Straight chuck fest

[Ballerhogger]

Bazemore god … please sit down

[Ballerhogger]

Horrible .. thank god it’s pre season ?

[levon]

this ball switch is underrated. lots of guys are fumbling it all the time. noticing that with Bron. Wiggins earlier just lost it on a basic dribble. I feel like shooting % league wide is going to drop this year, esp since it was so high last year

[Peregrine01]

This Lakers offense looks awful. I think it's even worse than last year when they ranked in the bottom third.

Lebrons lost a step on that drive there on looney. I tuned in and thought oh looks good lakers leading by 3, their big 3 is playing, then find out curry isnt even playing.

He wasn't Bron last season either. I didn't fully believe, but he looks just as un-Bron-like now as he did in the playoffs.

Missing things he would never miss. Getting picked or stonewalled by dudes who could never.

I think we're finally seeing it.

Or Draymond.

We have all the names. But the opposition is faster 1-5, and can shoot.

Deja vu from the 2013 preseason, when we had all the big names, but the opposition was faster 1-5, and could shoot.

Hoping it doesn't go the same way. But that feeling is seeping back.

[Peregrine01]

Wiggins's lack of awareness still amazes me. Jumps through a wide open lane to get a rebound when he could've easily tipped it in. Instead, he comes down with it, gets stripped and fouls 94 feet away. Some players just don't have feel.

Ariza = Metta
Ad = Dwight
LBJ = Kobe
Westbrook = Gasol
Dwight = Jamison

[Ballerhogger]

We finished the half strong after losing the lead . I’ll take it.

Nah he looks good. The step he lost on the drive he lost several seasons ago. By his current standards he looks good physically but a bit rusty.

[Catchall]

Lebron can still drive and kick, and he can make those mid-range jumpers.

Warriors have given up like 6 straight open corner 3s because, not sure why.

Just noticing, Warriors are resting Steph and Draymond.
