    I'm tired of hearing about the Clippers....they are just like the old cp3 Clippers, look good on paper but pieces don't all fit together. At this rate they'll be an eighth or nineth seed with that load management. The Lakers are the one to worry about....

    I have never seen Harden run as fast. Last night he was in the fast break multiple times. It was shocking.

    I think Top 10 is good enough. 2017-2018 was Top 7. That was good enough that year. And there is no Warriors this season.

    I hope you are right.

    The league is constantly changing as well, what is conventional wisdom one season doesn't hold true the next.

    I think right now they are likely the best team in the league. I will be curious where they are by mid season.

    I will say this, the players and front office and fans deserve a title.... they have been very close.

    If I'm reading this chart correctly, EG has been playing great defense (even if he's been really bad on offense). Sample size and all that.

    Relax dudes. It’s a long season. Try and enjoy it a little bit.

    12:30 games are almost always questionable. We had a fully loaded Clippers team beat the other night, and I suspect we are going to have a roaring comeback in this second half. Be cool honey bunnies...
